This remains warn-only unless evidence shows foreign-agent hijack through preinstall/install/postinstall, hidden persistence, exfiltration, remote code execution, or other concrete malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-19T00:17:09.057Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-19T00:19:25.813Z - **Download time:** 758 ms - **Static scan time:** 11914 ms - **AI review time:** 124083 ms - **Total time:** 136756 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** A runtime HTTP endpoint accepts a user-controlled root and overwrites CLAUDE.local.md there. The server is started by the CLI and does not explicitly bind its listener to loopback. - **Trigger:** User runs the objectexplorer CLI; a client sends POST /api/graph. - **Impact:** An accessible client can overwrite Claude project instructions in arbitrary writable directories. - **Evidence paths:** cli.js, server/WebServer.mjs, package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-19T00:19:25.813Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Unauthenticated agent-instruction-file write via request-controlled path. - **Rationale:** The package is not confirmed malware because the behavior requires runtime launch rather than install-time execution. Its unauthenticated, request-controlled Claude instruction-file write is a material agent-control risk requiring a warning. - **Files touched:** cli.js, server/WebServer.mjs, \/CLAUDE.local.md - **Network endpoints:** http://localhost:${listenPort}, /api/graph ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** POST /api/graph writes a Claude agent instruction file under an unvalidated request-supplied root., The graph route is registered without an authentication wrapper., The CLI starts this server when the user invokes the package., The HTTP server listens without a host argument, exposing the graph route beyond an explicitly loopback-bound listener. - **Evidence against:** package.json contains no lifecycle scripts., The mutation is runtime-only after an explicit CLI launch, not npm install-time., No package-controlled credential-exfiltration endpoint was confirmed in inspected source. ## Public findings ### 1.
