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. Not malicious: the flagged control-surface writes require explicit setup rather than an npm lifecycle hook, and the installed hook is bounded and warning-only. It warrants a warning because it can scaffold and register an AI-agent extension with executable hook behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-10T01:11:02.744Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-10T01:12:04.047Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 4446 ms - **AI review time:** 56346 ms - **Total time:** 61303 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:** No install-time attack is present. Explicit PAPI setup can register its MCP server and scaffold a project-local Claude extension, including a warning-only hook. - **Trigger:** User runs \`papi setup\` or invokes the PAPI setup workflow. - **Impact:** Modifies project-local AI-agent configuration and can run a project-local warning hook during PAPI builds. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.js, design-assets/hooks/frontend-design-guard.sh, dist/backfill-cycle-metrics.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-10T01:12:04.047Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Explicit first-party MCP configuration and agent-extension scaffolding. - **Rationale:** Not malicious: the flagged control-surface writes require explicit setup rather than an npm lifecycle hook, and the installed hook is bounded and warning-only. It warrants a warning because it can scaffold and register an AI-agent extension with executable hook behavior. - **Files touched:** .mcp.json, .claude/settings.json, .claude/hooks/frontend-design-guard.sh, .claude/skills, .agents/skills/papi-cycle, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .cursor/rules/papi.mdc - **Network endpoints:** https://getpapi.ai, https://registry.npmjs.org/@papi-ai/server/latest, https://guewgygcpcmrcoppihzx.supabase.co ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** dist/index.js: explicit setup writes project .mcp.json with a PAPI MCP entry, dist/index.js: PAPI setup scaffolds .claude settings, skills, and an executable hook, dist/index.js: runtime performs default telemetry and npm version-check requests, design-assets/hooks/frontend-design-guard.sh: installed hook reads tool input and emits workflow guidance - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook, CLI setup requires an explicit user command and device-browser approval, hook is scoped to active PAPI builds and states it only warns, telemetry sends tool metadata; no code/file-content upload path was found, child-process use is package-aligned Git/GitHub/project workflow functionality ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @papi-ai/server@0.7.73. - Review the evidence and your use of @papi-ai/server@0.7.73 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.
