Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. npm install runs a postinstall script that downloads native okx-pilot and okx-auth binaries into ~/.okx/bin. The first host, static.jingyunyilian.com, supplies both the binary and its checksum.

The first host, static.jingyunyilian.com, supplies both the binary and its checksum. The MCP server later executes those files. - **Trigger:** npm install lifecycle postinstall, then a later run of the MCP server that calls the pilot or auth helper. - **Impact:** A response from the CDN becomes a user-privileged native executable on the machine without a hash pinned in the published package. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-23T23:00:32.439Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** scripts/postinstall.js fetches the platform binary over HTTPS, accepts a checksum.json from the same host, writes it under the user home directory, and marks it executable. dist/index.js then execFile or spawn that path. - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package runs scripts/postinstall.js. That script downloads okx-pilot and okx-auth into ~/.okx/bin, trying static.jingyunyilian.com before static.okx.com and static.coinall.ltd. The checksum is taken from the same host, so the package does not pin the binary hash. The file is made executable. When the server later needs a pilot route or an auth token, dist/index.js executes that downloaded binary with the user privileges. - **Rationale:** The postinstall hook fetches native binaries from a CDN and makes them executable, using a checksum served by the same host, including static.jingyunyilian.com. The published server then executes those binaries, so install can turn a remote response into local code. - **Files touched:** ~/.okx/bin/okx-pilot, ~/.okx/bin/okx-auth - **Network endpoints:** https://static.jingyunyilian.com/upgradeapp/tools/pilot, https://static.jingyunyilian.com/upgradeapp/tools/oauth, https://static.okx.com/upgradeapp/tools/pilot, https://static.okx.com/upgradeapp/tools/oauth, https://static.coinall.ltd/upgradeapp/tools/pilot, https://static.coinall.ltd/upgradeapp/tools/oauth ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** package.json postinstall runs scripts/postinstall.js and ignores a failing exit status., The install script downloads okx-pilot and okx-auth into the user home .okx/bin directory from static.jingyunyilian.com, then static.okx.com and static.coinall.ltd., The checksum file is fetched from the same CDN host as the binary and is not pinned in the package., After that remote checksum matches, non-Windows installs chmod the file 755., dist/index.js later execFile-runs okx-pilot and spawn-runs okx-auth. - **Evidence against:** A failed download does not fail npm install., okx-pilot is only invoked for hostnames matching \*.okx.com., Writes to Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code config happen only from the explicit setup subcommand., The package source has no eval, Function, or obfuscated payload. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @okx\_ai/okx-trade-mcp@1.4.8. - Avoid installing @okx\_ai/okx-trade-mcp@1.4.8. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
