## Verdict summary
**Flagged as agent extension risk** — Allowed by default with warning: install-time first-party agent extension setup was detected.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Warn-only agent extension risk
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Agent extension lifecycle risk
- **Selected version:** 1.0.18
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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.

This is a Claude Code-style AI CLI whose automatic postinstall registers a first-party Chrome MCP native host, which is guarded platform extension setup rather than a concrete malicious chain. Scanner similarity labels on dist chunks are noisy leftovers of that fork and do not show hidden exfiltration or foreign-agent hijack in the shipped install scripts.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 78.0%
- **Started:** 2026-09-17T09:49:42.510Z

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:** npm install runs a postinstall that registers this CLI's Chrome MCP native host and may download a ripgrep binary. That is unattended first-party browser-extension setup, not a proven secret-stealing install hook.

- **Trigger:** Installing the package with npm or bun, which runs the postinstall script.

- **Impact:** Chrome native-messaging state can change without a separate setup command; a skip environment variable exists but is off by default.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/setup-chrome-mcp.mjs, scripts/postinstall.cjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-17T09:52:48.167Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** Automatic Chrome native-host registration plus optional ripgrep download

- **Rationale:** This is a Claude Code-style AI CLI whose automatic postinstall registers a first-party Chrome MCP native host, which is guarded platform extension setup rather than a concrete malicious chain. Scanner similarity labels on dist chunks are noisy leftovers of that fork and do not show hidden exfiltration or foreign-agent hijack in the shipped install scripts.

- **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.cjs, scripts/setup-chrome-mcp.mjs, scripts/run-parallel.mjs, dist/vendor/ripgrep

- **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/microsoft/ripgrep-prebuilt, https://ghproxy.net

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 78.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** package.json postinstall automatically runs both the ripgrep vendor script and Chrome MCP setup., Unless CLAUDE\_CODE\_SKIP\_CHROME\_MCP\_SETUP=1, setup-chrome-mcp.mjs runs fix-permissions, register --browser chrome, and doctor via @claude-code-best/mcp-chrome-bridge., Bundled Chrome setup writes a native host manifest named com.anthropic.claude\_code\_browser\_extension.json when that feature is enabled.

- **Evidence against:** This package is an AI terminal CLI; Chrome MCP and ripgrep match that product., scripts/postinstall.cjs only vendors microsoft/ripgrep-prebuilt into this package tree and treats download failure as non-fatal., mai.val.run login and API-key storage run only after the user starts mai and logs in., There is no runtime self-dependency, and the shipped install scripts do not write Cursor, Copilot, or other foreign agent settings files., Scanner malware-similarity hits are Claude Code fork chunks such as SSH, REPL, and computer-use, not a hidden install payload.

## Affected versions and remediation

```

### 37. High: Known Malware Source Similarity
- **Category:** Static
- **Confidence:** 97.0%
- **Path:** dist/chunks/main-Hz2hgCEo.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@mdevs/mai-cli@1.0.18/dist/chunks/main-Hz2hgCEo.js>)

Source file is highly similar to a previously finalized malicious package; route for source-aware review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
matchType = normalized_sha256
matchedPackage = @mdevs/mai-cli@1.0.20
matchedPath = dist/chunks/main-D3Ua8MpL.js
matchedIdentity = npm:QG1kZXZzL21haS1jbGk:1.0.20
similarity = 1.000
summary = normalized source hash matched finalized malicious source
