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 not malicious by the available static evidence, but its explicit installer changes AI-agent permissions and installs event hooks in the consumer project. Downgrade to a warning so users can review the permission bypass before use. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 89.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-11T05:15:30.069Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-11T05:16:59.917Z - **Download time:** 1030 ms - **Static scan time:** 1181 ms - **AI review time:** 87632 ms - **Total time:** 89848 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 install writes project-level Claude settings and executable hooks. The settings bypass Claude permission prompts, so later Claude actions can run under that expanded authority; no exfiltration endpoint was found. - **Trigger:** The user runs ukit install, then uses Claude Code in the configured project. - **Impact:** Changes the project's agent permission and hook behavior; the inspected code shows no confirmed data theft or remote execution. - **Evidence paths:** manifests/platform.full.yaml, templates/.claude/settings.json, templates/.claude/hooks/sensitive-data-guard.sh, templates/.claude/hooks/vision-router.sh - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-11T05:16:59.917Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** User-invoked installation of AI-agent settings and local event hooks. - **Rationale:** This is not malicious by the available static evidence, but its explicit installer changes AI-agent permissions and installs event hooks in the consumer project. Downgrade to a warning so users can review the permission bypass before use. - **Files touched:** .claude/settings.json, .claude/hooks/sensitive-data-guard.sh, .claude/hooks/vision-router.sh, .claude/ukit/index/extract-image.mjs ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The CLI defaults to its install command when the user runs it without a command., The install manifest overwrites the project's Claude settings, which set the agent to bypass permission prompts., Installed hooks process Claude tool and prompt events, including local prompt and image-reference handling. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or self-dependency., No source evidence of network requests, credential exfiltration, remote payload loading, or destructive install-time execution was found., The sensitive-data hook is designed to block secret material from reaching the AI. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ngockhoale/ukit@2.3.12. - Review the evidence and your use of @ngockhoale/ukit@2.3.12 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.
