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 has no npm install hook, but its explicit install command can alter Claude Code hook registrations in project and home settings. This bounded agent configuration capability warrants a warning; no malicious attack behavior was established. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 78.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-08T01:00:50.454Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-08T01:01:41.725Z - **Download time:** 1284 ms - **Static scan time:** 3709 ms - **AI review time:** 46277 ms - **Total time:** 51271 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 CLI install can modify Claude Code hook registrations in project and home settings files. The repair targets registrations it considers malformed. - **Trigger:** A user runs the package's install command. - **Impact:** A malformed hook registration may be removed from Claude Code settings; no broader control change or exfiltration was established. - **Evidence paths:** src/core/runInstallPipeline.js, src/core/repairBrokenHooks.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-08T01:01:41.725Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The install pipeline inspects home and project Claude settings, removes broken hook registrations, and writes updated settings. - **Rationale:** The package has no npm install hook, but its explicit install command can alter Claude Code hook registrations in project and home settings. This bounded agent configuration capability warrants a warning; no malicious attack behavior was established. - **Files touched:** src/core/runInstallPipeline.js, src/core/repairBrokenHooks.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 78.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package exposes a CLI and has no npm install lifecycle hook in its manifest., The install pipeline runs hook repair on the project settings., Hook repair also checks the user's home Claude settings and project settings files., The repair function writes updated settings files after finding broken hook registrations., The repair removes hook entries that lack the required event field. - **Evidence against:** The repair is limited to registrations classified as broken; no credential collection, exfiltration, or destructive behavior was identified., The package's settings changes are tied to its explicit install command. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ngockhoale/ukit@3.4.22. - Review the evidence and your use of @ngockhoale/ukit@3.4.22 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.
