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 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-19T06:39:27.617Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-19T06:40:52.168Z - **Download time:** 2288 ms - **Static scan time:** 1430 ms - **AI review time:** 80832 ms - **Total time:** 84551 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 automatic install hook downloads executable binaries and places them in the user's .okx/bin directory. The runtime later launches the downloaded OAuth helper, but source inspection does not establish malicious payload behavior. - **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. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-19T06:40:52.168Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **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. - **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. - **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, dist/index.js, ~/.okx/bin/okx-auth, ~/.okx/bin/okx-pilot - **Network endpoints:** https://static.jingyunyilian.com, https://static.okx.com, https://static.coinall.ltd ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @okx\_ai/okx-trade-mcp@1.4.9. - Review the evidence and your use of @okx\_ai/okx-trade-mcp@1.4.9 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.
