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:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-04T20:10:29.616Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-04T20:11:35.409Z - **Download time:** 1020 ms - **Static scan time:** 1086 ms - **AI review time:** 63686 ms - **Total time:** 65793 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Explicit \`s4l init\` installs an agent skill/MCP configuration, browser automation profiles, and social-posting scheduler. It can handle authenticated browser cookies and reports installation telemetry to its service. - **Trigger:** User runs \`s4l init\`, \`update\`, cookie import/export, or invokes the installed MCP/skill. - **Impact:** Can persist automated actions through the user's logged-in social accounts and modify the user's Claude integration configuration. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/cli.js, bin/cookie-helper.js, bin/scheduler/launchd.js, mcp/install.mjs, mcp/dist/telemetry.js, mcp/dist/onboarding.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-04T20:11:35.409Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** User-invoked Claude extension setup and authenticated social-media automation. - **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms a powerful, persistent social-media/Claude-agent automation product with cookie handling and telemetry, but no lifecycle-triggered foreign control-surface mutation or concrete stealth/exfiltration behavior. Flag as a warning for explicit-user-command agent capability abuse. - **Files touched:** ~/social-autoposter, ~/.claude/skills/social-autoposter, ~/.claude/skills/social-autoposter-setup, ~/.claude/browser-agent-configs, ~/.claude/browser-profiles, ~/.social-autoposter-mcp - **Network endpoints:** https://s4l.ai, https://app.s4l.ai, https://github.com/browser-use/browser-harness, https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh, http://127.0.0.1:9555, http://127.0.0.1:9556, http://127.0.0.1:9557 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** bin/cli.js:init explicitly installs Claude skills/MCP configs and browser profiles., bin/cli.js:init provisions a browser harness, dependencies, and scheduled social-posting jobs., bin/cookie-helper.js exports/imports social-platform browser cookies via local CDP., mcp/dist/telemetry.js and onboarding.js send installation telemetry to package-operated endpoints. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or prepare hook., All setup, persistence, cookie handling, and MCP registration require explicit CLI commands., Observed endpoints are disclosed package services or loopback CDP; no hidden payload fetch or credential exfiltration chain was confirmed. ## Public findings ### 1.
