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. No automatic lifecycle hook, self-dependency, remote payload, or data exfiltration was found. The explicit installer nevertheless modifies AI-agent control surfaces and dynamically broadens command permissions. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-12T19:56:00.261Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-12T19:57:29.229Z - **Download time:** 255 ms - **Static scan time:** 798 ms - **AI review time:** 87914 ms - **Total time:** 88968 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 AI-agent settings, hooks, and linked assets into the current project. Its Claude hook can expand the local Bash allowlist as commands are used. - **Trigger:** Running \`ukit\` or \`ukit install\` in a project. - **Impact:** Installed agents can gain persistent wildcard permissions for additional command binaries within that project. - **Evidence paths:** src/cli/index.js, manifests/platform.full.yaml, templates/.claude/hooks/auto-allow-bash.sh - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-12T19:57:29.229Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Project-level AI-agent configuration deployment with dynamic Bash permission grants. - **Rationale:** No automatic lifecycle hook, self-dependency, remote payload, or data exfiltration was found. The explicit installer nevertheless modifies AI-agent control surfaces and dynamically broadens command permissions. - **Files touched:** .claude/settings.json, .claude/settings.local.json, .claude/hooks/task-watchdog.sh, .claude/ukit/permission-usage.json, .claude/ukit/permission-audit.log, .codex/skills, .codex/ukit, .codex/agents, .codex/settings.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The CLI defaults to its install command and deploys project-level AI workspace assets., The manifest overwrites Claude settings and installs executable hooks in the consumer project., A deployed hook dynamically adds wildcard Bash permission rules to the project's local Claude settings., The default install also creates Codex links and writes Codex settings. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle script., No source-inspected network exfiltration or remote payload download was found., The permission hook excludes shell interpreters and several destructive command names., The configuration changes require an explicit CLI invocation rather than npm installation. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ngockhoale/ukit@2.3.20. - Review the evidence and your use of @ngockhoale/ukit@2.3.20 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.
