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 user-invoked AI workspace installer with meaningful permission and hook side effects, so it warrants a warning. The absence of npm lifecycle hooks and of concrete exfiltration or remote execution prevents a malicious classification. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-13T23:22:24.421Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-13T23:23:31.019Z - **Download time:** 1036 ms - **Static scan time:** 749 ms - **AI review time:** 64813 ms - **Total time:** 66598 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:** An explicit UKit CLI installation modifies AI-agent configuration in the current project and adds project Git hooks. The configured agent receives bypassed permission prompts and hooks execute local project scripts on later tool and Git events. - **Trigger:** A user runs the ukit CLI or its install command in a project. - **Impact:** A user-authorized install broadens the configured agent's ability to edit files and run allowlisted commands, and persists local hook execution within that project. - **Evidence paths:** src/cli/index.js, src/cli/commands/install.js, src/core/runInstallPipeline.js, src/index/gitHooks.js, templates/.claude/settings.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-13T23:23:31.019Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Project-local AI configuration and Git-hook installation. - **Rationale:** This is a user-invoked AI workspace installer with meaningful permission and hook side effects, so it warrants a warning. The absence of npm lifecycle hooks and of concrete exfiltration or remote execution prevents a malicious classification. - **Files touched:** .claude/settings.json, .claude/hooks/vision-router.sh, .claude/ukit/index/extract-image.mjs, .git/hooks/post-commit, .git/hooks/post-merge, .git/hooks/post-checkout ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The package exposes a CLI entry point., Running the CLI with no command defaults to installation., The installed Claude configuration sets permission bypass mode and permits file edits and selected shell commands., The installer adds executable Git hooks that invoke a project-local Node script after Git events. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or prepare lifecycle hook., The reviewed hook router invokes a local Node extractor with fixed arguments; no secret collection or package-controlled network endpoint was found., No runtime dependency on this package name or remote payload-loading path was found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ngockhoale/ukit@2.2.16. - Review the evidence and your use of @ngockhoale/ukit@2.2.16 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.
