The package later executes those binaries during normal MCP runtime. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-20T09:56:40.662Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-20T09:57:34.181Z - **Download time:** 780 ms - **Static scan time:** 1766 ms - **AI review time:** 50972 ms - **Total time:** 53519 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** npm postinstall fetches remote platform binaries and writes them under ~/.okx/bin. The package later executes those binaries during normal MCP runtime. - **Trigger:** npm installation, then normal MCP use - **Impact:** A CDN compromise or malicious response can stage arbitrary native code for later execution. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-20T09:57:34.181Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** remote binary download followed by local binary execution - **Rationale:** The package contains a concrete postinstall remote-binary staging and later execution chain. It is suspicious rather than conclusively malicious because the inspected source does not show a malicious payload or exfiltration behavior. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.js, dist/index.js, ~/.okx/bin/okx-pilot, ~/.okx/bin/okx-auth - **Network endpoints:** https://static.jingyunyilian.com/upgradeapp/tools/pilot, https://static.okx.com/upgradeapp/tools/pilot, https://static.coinall.ltd/upgradeapp/tools/pilot, https://static.jingyunyilian.com/upgradeapp/tools/oauth, https://static.okx.com/upgradeapp/tools/oauth, https://static.coinall.ltd/upgradeapp/tools/oauth ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** postinstall invokes a script during npm installation., The install script downloads platform-specific executables from remote CDNs into ~/.okx/bin., Checksum metadata is fetched from the same remote source as the executable, so it does not provide an independent trust anchor., The runtime entrypoint executes the downloaded okx-pilot and okx-auth binaries. - **Evidence against:** No source evidence of credential harvesting or host-fingerprint exfiltration., No install-time mutation of AI-agent configuration files; agent setup is an explicit runtime command., Runtime API endpoints are OKX-aligned trading-service hosts. ## Public findings ### 1.
