Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package contains a real unrestricted credential-forwarding capability, which warrants a warning. There is no source evidence of automatic installation behavior or a concealed default exfiltration endpoint. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-20T06:42:28.728Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-20T06:44:02.064Z - **Download time:** 2060 ms - **Static scan time:** 7623 ms - **AI review time:** 83653 ms - **Total time:** 93336 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** A shipped MCP template can forward an existing Markus Hub token to a Hub URL controlled through local configuration. No install-time attack surface was identified. - **Trigger:** A user or agent launches the Markus Hub connector and invokes a Hub operation. - **Impact:** A locally configured untrusted Hub endpoint could receive the existing Hub bearer token. - **Evidence paths:** templates/skills/markus-hub-connector/server.mjs, dist/commands/start.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-20T06:44:02.064Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The connector reads ~/.markus/hub-token, obtains hub.url from ~/.markus/markus.json, and places the token in an Authorization header for fetch without validating the configured host. - **Rationale:** The package contains a real unrestricted credential-forwarding capability, which warrants a warning. There is no source evidence of automatic installation behavior or a concealed default exfiltration endpoint. - **Files touched:** templates/skills/markus-hub-connector/server.mjs, ~/.markus/markus.json, ~/.markus/hub-token ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** A shipped MCP-server template reads the Markus Hub token and sends it as a bearer credential., The request destination is taken directly from the user's hub URL configuration, with no host allowlist or destination validation., The start command also reads the Hub token and passes it with a configurable Hub URL to remote-access code., The manifest has no npm lifecycle hooks, so this is not install-time behavior. - **Evidence against:** The credential-bearing template is a separately launched MCP server, not an npm lifecycle script., The manifest exposes a user-invoked CLI command and declares no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The browser helper only opens a supplied URL after a local health check. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @markus-global/cli@0.9.8. - Review the evidence and your use of @markus-global/cli@0.9.8 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
