AI Security Review

scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The automatic, unprompted global agent configuration change leaves a real extension lifecycle risk, so this warrants a warning. The inspected behavior does not establish a concrete attack that supports blocking publication.

Static reason

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

Trigger

Installing the package through npm.

Impact

The package's MCP server becomes registered for those agent clients after installation.

Mechanism

The postinstall script updates the user's global Claude and Codex configuration files without an affirmative consent prompt.

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 script writes global Claude Code and Codex MCP configuration without prompting for consent.
The added MCP server runs this package's local server through Node.js; the inspected code does not establish credential transfer or a remote endpoint.
The other inspected agent integration locations concern configuration checks, opt-in CLI setup, local project documentation detection, a separate hook installer, and test fixtures.

Evidence against

The registered MCP server uses a local stdio command, and the inspected lifecycle code shows no network transfer.
