AI Security Review

scanned 12d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Source inspection confirms an automatic postinstall that writes first-party MCP configuration for Claude Code and Codex. This is a guarded-category warning for package-owned agent setup, not evidence of malicious behavior or a publish-blocking attack.

Static reason

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

Trigger

npm install runs the package postinstall hook.

Impact

The package gains an agent integration that can be used in later sessions; this is first-party package setup, with no separate attack behavior established by the inspected code.

Mechanism

The hook writes a karajan-mcp entry to Claude configuration and a delimited karajan-mcp block to Codex configuration, pointing both at this package's server.

AI rationale

Evidence

package.jsonscripts/postinstall.js

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 87.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

package.json runs scripts/postinstall.js automatically after installation.
The postinstall writes a karajan-mcp stdio server entry to Claude configuration and adds a corresponding block to Codex configuration.
The setup runs without an explicit user command and registers this package's own MCP server.

Evidence against

The configuration entries are named karajan-mcp and point to this package's own src/mcp/server.js.
The Codex update uses a delimited block, and the Claude entry retains other environment keys.
