A package install changes a broad AI-agent control surface without an explicit user setup command. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Warn by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Soft block: AI-agent control surface - **Selected version:** 5.10.0 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installing the package automatically mutates Cursor’s user-wide MCP configuration, enabling this package’s server for future agent sessions. It also downloads a verified external Electron application during installation. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-08T11:18:09.010Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-08T11:18:49.335Z - **Download time:** 756 ms - **Static scan time:** 1521 ms - **AI review time:** 38047 ms - **Total time:** 40325 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installing the package automatically mutates Cursor’s user-wide MCP configuration, enabling this package’s server for future agent sessions. It also downloads a verified external Electron application during installation. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall - **Impact:** A package install changes a broad AI-agent control surface without an explicit user setup command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/chunk-7NC2DJTK.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-08T11:18:49.335Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** unconsented Cursor MCP configuration upsert and binary download - **Attack narrative:** On npm installation, scripts/postinstall.mjs creates or overwrites the muggle entry in ~/.cursor/mcp.json with a command that starts the package’s MCP server. This activates a user-wide Cursor agent integration without the user running setup. The hook also fetches and extracts a platform Electron app into ~/.muggle-ai; checksums reduce tampering risk but do not remove the unconsented agent-control mutation. - **Rationale:** Direct inspection confirms an unconditional postinstall write to a foreign, user-wide AI-agent MCP configuration. This meets the install-time agent-control-hijack block boundary. - **Files touched:** ~/.cursor/mcp.json, ~/.muggle-ai/electron-app, ~/.muggle-ai/postinstall.log - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/multiplex-ai/muggle-ai-works/releases/download ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs scripts/postinstall.mjs on install., scripts/postinstall.mjs unconditionally writes ~/.cursor/mcp.json., It inserts mcpServers.muggle with command "muggle" and args \["serve"\]., The same hook downloads and extracts an Electron archive into ~/.muggle-ai/electron-app. - **Evidence against:** The download URL is fixed to the package-configured GitHub release base., The downloaded archive is SHA-256 verified against package.json checksums., Claude cache syncing is guarded on an existing muggle plugin installation. ## Public findings ### 1.
