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 install-hook abuse because there is no npm lifecycle trigger or observed exfiltration. It remains a real agent-control-surface capability because an explicit CLI run can mutate project and user-level Claude hook settings. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-13T23:22:24.593Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-13T23:23:16.425Z - **Download time:** 766 ms - **Static scan time:** 847 ms - **AI review time:** 50218 ms - **Total time:** 51832 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 invocation installs AI-agent hooks and can rewrite existing Claude hook registrations, including a user-level settings file. No install-time execution or network exfiltration was found. - **Trigger:** A user runs ukit or ukit install in a project. - **Impact:** Can alter Claude Code tool-call behavior and remove registrations that match its repair heuristic. - **Evidence paths:** src/cli/index.js, src/core/runInstallPipeline.js, src/core/repairBrokenHooks.js, templates/.claude/settings.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-13T23:23:16.425Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** AI-agent settings and hook installation with hook-registration repair. - **Rationale:** This is not malicious install-hook abuse because there is no npm lifecycle trigger or observed exfiltration. It remains a real agent-control-surface capability because an explicit CLI run can mutate project and user-level Claude hook settings. - **Files touched:** .claude/settings.json, .claude/settings.local.json, $HOME/.claude/settings.json, .claude/hooks/sensitive-data-guard.sh ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The CLI defaults to an install command when invoked without a command., The install pipeline writes a managed plan and invokes hook repair., Hook repair rewrites both project and user-level Claude settings files., The installed template registers a command hook that can block AI tool use. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle script., No network endpoint, credential exfiltration, or remote payload execution was found., The hook code is local and designed to detect and block sensitive-data exposure. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ngockhoale/ukit@2.3.24. - Review the evidence and your use of @ngockhoale/ukit@2.3.24 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.
