AI Security Review

scanned 12d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The manifest activates a postinstall hook that automatically registers the package-owned MCP server in Claude Code and Codex configuration without an interactive consent check. This fits the warning category for first-party agent setup; the inspected behavior does not support a malicious verdict.

Static reason

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

Trigger

Installing the package with npm when lifecycle scripts run.

Impact

The installed package's MCP server becomes available to those agent clients through their user configuration.

Mechanism

The hook reads and writes ~/.claude.json and ~/.codex/config.toml to register karajan-mcp, without an interactive consent check.

AI rationale

Evidence

package.jsonscripts/postinstall.js

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 postinstall hook runs scripts/postinstall.js during npm installation.
The hook registers the package's karajan-mcp server in the user's Claude Code and Codex configuration files without an interactive consent check.
The configuration writes preserve or update entries for this package's own MCP server; the inspected integration targets also include inventory, validation, and explicit setup code.
The installer includes package-owned Claude hook setup, but the inspected postinstall path does not invoke it.

Evidence against

The inspected code identifies the configured server as karajan-mcp and points it to this package's own server entrypoint.
The flagged configuration-check and MCP-wiring code describes inspection or project-local wiring; it does not establish a separate malicious action.
