Future launches of affected AI clients can invoke the package-provided kahin command. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Warn by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Soft block: AI-agent control surface - **Selected version:** 0.3.3 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installing the package automatically registers the kahin executable as an MCP server in detected third-party AI-client configurations. This is an unconsented, broad AI-agent control-surface mutation. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-05T21:37:02.434Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-05T21:37:49.880Z - **Download time:** 505 ms - **Static scan time:** 52 ms - **AI review time:** 46887 ms - **Total time:** 47446 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installing the package automatically registers the kahin executable as an MCP server in detected third-party AI-client configurations. This is an unconsented, broad AI-agent control-surface mutation. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall during package installation - **Impact:** Future launches of affected AI clients can invoke the package-provided kahin command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/setup.mjs, bin/kahin.mjs, lib/kahin-0.3.3-py3-none-any.whl - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T21:37:49.880Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** automatic multi-client MCP configuration injection - **Attack narrative:** The postinstall runs bin/setup.mjs automatically. It detects existing configurations for 22 third-party AI clients and writes a kahin MCP entry into each matching configuration, including Codex and Claude. This causes those clients to launch the package executable in later sessions without an explicit user setup action. - **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms a postinstall hook that mutates a broad set of foreign AI-agent configuration files. This meets the install-control-surface block criterion regardless of the opt-out and merge safeguards. - **Files touched:** package.json, bin/setup.mjs, ~/.claude.json, ~/.cursor/mcp.json, ~/.config/Code/User/mcp.json, ~/.codex/config.toml ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json defines postinstall: node bin/setup.mjs., bin/setup.mjs executes setup() at install time., setup.mjs enumerates 22 unrelated AI clients, including Codex, Claude, Cursor, VS Code, and Cline., For every existing client config, setup.mjs inserts a kahin MCP command entry and writes the file., The lifecycle mutation is automatic; it needs no user setup command or consent. - **Evidence against:** The mutation is skipped when KAHIN\_SKIP\_AUTO\_SETUP or CI is set., Only existing, parseable config files are modified; entries are merged and idempotent., No package-controlled network endpoint is used by the Node postinstall path. ## Public findings ### 1.
