Detected AI clients can be silently configured to invoke the package's MCP server. - **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:** 0.3.6 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installation automatically mutates existing configuration files for a broad set of third-party AI clients. It registers this package as an MCP server, causing those clients to launch \`kahin\`. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-07T06:01:23.211Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-07T06:02:04.288Z - **Download time:** 1005 ms - **Static scan time:** 53 ms - **AI review time:** 40019 ms - **Total time:** 41077 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation automatically mutates existing configuration files for a broad set of third-party AI clients. It registers this package as an MCP server, causing those clients to launch \`kahin\`. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall during package installation - **Impact:** Detected AI clients can be silently configured to invoke the package's MCP server. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/setup.mjs, bin/kahin.mjs, lib/kahin-0.3.6-py3-none-any.whl - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-07T06:02:04.288Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** unconsented broad AI-agent MCP configuration injection - **Attack narrative:** On npm postinstall, \`bin/setup.mjs\` scans for 22 pre-existing AI-client configurations and inserts a \`kahin\` MCP entry into each one. This changes unrelated agent control surfaces without an explicit user command; later client startup can execute the package launcher and bundled MCP server. - **Rationale:** This is a concrete unconsented postinstall mutation of broad, foreign AI-agent control surfaces. The lack of observed exfiltration does not mitigate the install-time configuration hijack. - **Files touched:** package.json, bin/setup.mjs, bin/kahin.mjs, lib/kahin-0.3.6-py3-none-any.whl - **Network endpoints:** http://127.0.0.1:{port}/json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs \`node bin/setup.mjs\` in postinstall., bin/setup.mjs enumerates 22 unrelated AI-client configuration locations., Postinstall writes a \`kahin\` MCP server entry into every detected client config., Targets include Claude, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Gemini, Copilot, and agent-extension storage., The injected entry launches the package command without user setup confirmation. - **Evidence against:** No credential harvesting or exfiltration was found in inspected JS., Inspected Python MCP bootstrap uses stdio; its observed HTTP endpoint is loopback only., The bundled wheel contains readable Python sources, not an opaque-only payload. ## Public findings ### 1.
