A newly installed MCP server and packaged skills become available to Cursor automatically. - **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:** 5.11.1 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installation mutates Cursor’s global skills and MCP configuration without a user command.

It also downloads a remote Electron binary into ~/.muggle-ai. - **Trigger:** npm install, via postinstall - **Impact:** A newly installed MCP server and packaged skills become available to Cursor automatically. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-17T23:21:57.567Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** global Cursor agent-control-surface injection and remote binary download - **Attack narrative:** The package’s npm postinstall invokes code that copies its skills into the user-wide Cursor skills directory and unconditionally writes a muggle server entry to ~/.cursor/mcp.json. This changes a foreign AI-agent control surface without an explicit setup command. The same install hook downloads and extracts an Electron binary, although it verifies a pinned checksum. - **Rationale:** Concrete postinstall mutation of ~/.cursor/skills and ~/.cursor/mcp.json meets the block boundary for unconsented foreign AI-agent control-surface writes. Checksum validation does not mitigate the automatic control-surface injection. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.mjs, plugin/skills/\*, ~/.cursor/skills/\*, ~/.cursor/mcp.json, ~/.muggle-ai/electron-app/\*, ~/.muggle-ai/install-manifest.json - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/multiplex-ai/muggle-ai-works/releases/download ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** npm postinstall runs automatically., Postinstall copies packaged skills into ~/.cursor/skills., Postinstall overwrites ~/.cursor/mcp.json with a muggle MCP server., Postinstall downloads an Electron binary during installation. - **Evidence against:** Downloaded archive is checked against package-pinned SHA-256., Claude cache mutation is guarded on an existing muggle plugin entry. ## Public findings ### 1.
