@inkeep/open-knowledge@0.79.6

Local-first, agent-friendly Markdown knowledge base with a cross-platform CLI and web editor

AI Security Review

scanned 23d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Source establishes guarded, user-invoked agent configuration removal, which the supplied policy classifies as a warning. No concrete malicious install hook or covert attack was established.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

Running open-knowledge uninstall and confirming removal, or supplying --yes.

Impact

OpenKnowledge integration becomes unavailable in affected agents; this is a guarded configuration capability.

Mechanism

Cleanup selects editor configuration paths, checks entry ownership, and writes configurations with the matching entry removed.

AI rationale

Source establishes guarded, user-invoked agent configuration removal, which the supplied policy classifies as a warning. No concrete malicious install hook or covert attack was established.

Evidence

dist/cli.mjsdist/registry-probes-AMDeRKc3.mjsdist/init-Dz-SuYPo.mjs.codex/config.toml.cursor/mcp.json

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 94.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with high false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The explicit uninstall command invokes cleanup with user-selected options.
Cleanup enumerates user-level editor configurations and removes OpenKnowledge MCP entries.
Uninstall requires confirmation or --yes and refuses unattended removal without --yes.
Cleanup preserves entries identified as foreign and writes edited configuration files.

Evidence against

package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook and no runtime self-dependency.
The inspected cleanup is user-invoked; no covert installation-time agent mutation was established.
