AI Security Review

scanned 10d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The active postinstall hook modifies Claude and Codex user configuration without prompting, creating an agent extension lifecycle risk. Its writes are scoped to this package’s own MCP entry, so the source supports a warning rather than a publish block.

Static reason

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

Trigger

Installing the package runs its postinstall hook.

Impact

Claude Code and Codex may load or invoke this package’s MCP server after installation.

Mechanism

The hook adds or replaces the karajan-mcp entry in ~/.claude.json and ~/.codex/config.toml, directing the clients to launch the package’s local MCP server.

AI rationale

Evidence

package.jsonscripts/postinstall.js~/.claude.json~/.codex/config.toml

Decision evidence

public snapshot

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

Evidence for warning

package.json runs scripts/postinstall.js automatically after installation.
The postinstall path writes this package’s named MCP server into Claude and Codex user configuration without a consent prompt.
A separate Claude hook installer requires the explicit kj-trash install --claude-code command; the init skills flow offers an interactive confirmation.
The other inspected target locations concern config checks, watched paths, managed project files, or agent configuration discovery; they do not expand the postinstall writes.

Evidence against

The postinstall setup is limited to registering the package’s own local MCP server under the karajan-mcp name; the inspected setup code shows no network transfer.
