Explicit \`s4l init\` installs a first-party Claude skill, MCP server configurations, browser profiles, and launchd jobs. Its MCP server can also provision an owned runtime on extension boot. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-10T15:31:43.485Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-10T15:33:58.784Z - **Download time:** 515 ms - **Static scan time:** 874 ms - **AI review time:** 133909 ms - **Total time:** 135299 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Explicit \`s4l init\` installs a first-party Claude skill, MCP server configurations, browser profiles, and launchd jobs. Its MCP server can also provision an owned runtime on extension boot. - **Trigger:** User runs \`s4l init\`/\`update\` or activates the packaged MCP extension. - **Impact:** Adds Claude-integrated browser automation and recurring package-controlled execution under the user account. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/cli.js, browser-agent-configs/all-agents-mcp.json, mcp/dist/index.js, mcp/dist/runtime.js, skill/social-autoposter-update.sh - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-10T15:33:58.784Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** first-party AI-agent extension setup with persistent updater/runtime provisioning - **Rationale:** The scanner’s malicious label is not supported by a concrete attack chain. The explicit setup and persistent self-update behavior warrants a warning under the agent-extension lifecycle policy. - **Files touched:** ~/social-autoposter, ~/.claude/browser-agent-configs, ~/.claude/browser-profiles, ~/.claude/skills/social-autoposter, ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.m13v.social-autoposter-update.plist, ~/.social-autoposter-mcp - **Network endpoints:** https://x.com, https://www.linkedin.com, https://www.reddit.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** \`bin/cli.js\` \`init\` writes Claude MCP/browser configs and skill symlinks., \`bin/cli.js\` registers MCP servers through \`claude mcp add-json\`., \`bin/cli.js\` generates recurring launchd jobs, including a daily updater., \`skill/social-autoposter-update.sh\` runs \`npx ...@latest update\` daily., \`mcp/dist/index.js\` provisions its owned runtime when the MCP server boots. - **Evidence against:** \`package.json\` has no preinstall/install/postinstall/prepare lifecycle hook., All setup mutations are reached through explicit CLI/MCP setup paths., Browser configs are package-aligned social-media automation tools., No source evidence of credential exfiltration, covert remote payload download, or destructive foreign-file mutation. ## Public findings ### 1.
