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. The package is not malicious by the inspected source, but its explicit installer changes an AI-agent control surface in a way that warrants a warning. No lifecycle hook or concrete exfiltration/destructive chain was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-13T23:18:53.099Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-13T23:20:02.411Z - **Download time:** 507 ms - **Static scan time:** 787 ms - **AI review time:** 68017 ms - **Total time:** 69312 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:** Running the UKit install command can write Claude project settings that bypass permission prompts and register command hooks. This is an explicit CLI setup action, not an npm install-time action. - **Trigger:** The user runs ukit install or an update path that reruns installation. - **Impact:** An affected project can grant its AI agent broad default permissions and execute installed hooks during Claude events. - **Evidence paths:** src/cli/commands/install.js, src/core/runInstallPipeline.js, templates/.claude/settings.json, templates/.claude/hooks/task-watchdog.sh - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-13T23:20:02.411Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Project-local Claude configuration and hook installation. - **Rationale:** The package is not malicious by the inspected source, but its explicit installer changes an AI-agent control surface in a way that warrants a warning. No lifecycle hook or concrete exfiltration/destructive chain was found. - **Files touched:** .claude/settings.json, .claude/hooks/task-watchdog.sh, .claude/ukit/runtime/task-watchdog.mjs, .ukit/storage/config.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The user-invoked install command runs the installer with writes enabled., The installer applies a template plan to the selected project and updates project configuration., The Claude settings template sets the default permission mode to bypass permissions., A shipped hook dynamically imports a project-local runtime module when relevant Claude events fire. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook., No package code inspected sends credentials, files, or hook input to a network endpoint., The sensitive-data hook detects likely secrets and blocks the associated AI action. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ngockhoale/ukit@2.3.22. - Review the evidence and your use of @ngockhoale/ukit@2.3.22 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.

Medium: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Path:** src/cli/commands/install.js - **Public source:** [View source]() The user-invoked install command runs the installer with writes enabled. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript export async function runInstall({ packageRoot, projectRoot, packageVersion, argv = [] }) { // parseToolsArg owns only --tools and throws on anything else, so hand it the argv with // the flags consumed here (--with-codegraph) already removed — order-dependent parsing // used to make the documented `ukit install --with-codegraph` fail 100% of the time. const toolsArg = parseToolsArg(argv.filter((arg) => arg !== '--with-codegraph')); const selectedOptionalTools = resolveOptionalToolKeys(toolsArg); const withCodegraph = argv.includes('--with-codegraph'); const pruneResult = awai ``` ### 10. Medium: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Path:** src/core/runInstallPipeline.js - **Public source:** [View source]() The installer applies a template plan to the selected project and updates project configuration.
