OKX MCP Server - Model Context Protocol server for OKX exchange
AI Security Review
scanned 4d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe automatic download and later execution of binaries whose checksums come from the same host warrant a warning, but do not establish malicious payload behavior. The flagged agent configuration path is part of an explicitly invoked setup flow.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; source fingerprint signature matched known malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Installing the package triggers the postinstall download; later OAuth authentication invokes the helper.
Impact
A compromised or untrusted CDN could supply a binary and matching checksum; the OAuth helper runs in the user's context. This is an unresolved payload trust risk, not evidence of credential theft.
Mechanism
The installer retrieves binaries and checksum metadata from the same CDN host, verifies the binaries against that metadata, and installs them for later execution.
AI rationale
The automatic download and later execution of binaries whose checksums come from the same host warrant a warning, but do not establish malicious payload behavior. The flagged agent configuration path is part of an explicitly invoked setup flow.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 87.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- package.json runs scripts/postinstall.js automatically during installation.
- The postinstall script downloads platform binaries from three HTTPS hosts and installs the OAuth helper under the user's .okx/bin directory.
- The script checks downloaded binary size and SHA-256 against metadata fetched from the same CDN host.
- At runtime, the package executes okx-auth to resolve OAuth access tokens.
- The flagged agent configuration code maps client configuration paths; its setup flow is entered through an explicit setup command.
Evidence against
- Downloaded files receive size and SHA-256 checks before installation, though the checksum metadata comes from the same host.
