@inkeep/open-knowledge@0.79.7

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 explicit-command mutation of AI-agent configuration, which the supplied policy classifies as warning-worthy. The CLI activation and available controls do not support a malicious publish block.

Static reason

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

Trigger

Running ok init with MCP registration enabled.

Impact

Agent configuration gains an OpenKnowledge MCP integration, potentially across user and project scopes.

Mechanism

Initialization selects scopes and writes OpenKnowledge server entries into detected agent configuration files; noninteractive execution defaults to both scopes.

AI rationale

Evidence

dist/init-CuV-RSyd.mjs.claude.json.cursor/mcp.json.mcp.json

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The package exposes the open-knowledge and ok CLI commands.
The init command passes MCP, scope, and skill options into initialization.
MCP setup prompts interactively but defaults to both scopes without a terminal; disabling MCP skips registration.
Initialization registers MCP entries in user and project agent configurations, including .cursor/mcp.json.
The configuration writer creates missing configuration files with the requested server entry.

Evidence against

No npm preinstall, install, or postinstall hook is declared.
The inspected setup is activated by a CLI command and offers scope controls and a disable option.
No concrete covert exfiltration or malicious payload execution was established.
