A project or agent can be configured to launch GraphFlow through npx without an explicit setup command from the user. - **Verdict:** AI-agent control-surface policy finding - **Product-default install policy:** Warn by default; block when configured - **Firewall policy:** Warn by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Soft block: AI-agent control surface - **Selected version:** 1.18.1 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This finding concerns changes to an AI agent's instructions or configuration without explicit user action. It does not by itself establish malware intent. The CLI warns by default and blocks when configured for this policy. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. Installing the package can alter existing workspace MCP configurations and register a local MCP server. The installer also supports user-level configuration injection for detected AI coding tools. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-12T11:21:58.792Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-12T11:23:20.913Z - **Download time:** 775 ms - **Static scan time:** 5248 ms - **AI review time:** 76096 ms - **Total time:** 82121 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:** Installing the package can alter existing workspace MCP configurations and register a local MCP server. The installer also supports user-level configuration injection for detected AI coding tools. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall during package installation when a supported workspace configuration exists. - **Impact:** A project or agent can be configured to launch GraphFlow through npx without an explicit setup command from the user. - **Evidence paths:** scripts/safe-postinstall.cjs, dist/integrations/agent-mcp-installer.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-12T11:23:20.913Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic MCP configuration injection for coding-agent control surfaces. - **Attack narrative:** The postinstall hook runs automatically. For a local install, it checks for existing Cursor, VS Code, or OpenCode MCP configuration in the consumer workspace, adds a GraphFlow server entry that launches through npx, and writes the modified configuration. Its companion installer detects multiple agent products and can inject user-level MCP entries. This changes foreign AI-agent execution configuration as an installation side effect rather than requiring the advertised explicit setup command. - **Rationale:** The package performs unconsented postinstall mutation of existing workspace and agent MCP control surfaces. That is a concrete install-hook abuse path even though the reviewed code did not show install-time secret theft. - **Files touched:** .cursor/mcp.json, .vscode/mcp.json, .opencode/opencode.json, scripts/safe-postinstall.cjs, dist/integrations/agent-mcp-installer.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for policy risk:** The npm postinstall hook automatically runs a package script., On ordinary local installation, the script detects existing workspace agent configuration and injects a GraphFlow MCP entry., The installer detects supported agents and writes MCP configuration entries, including user-level configurations., The package includes an always-applied Cursor rule that directs agents to use GraphFlow first. - **Evidence against:** No runtime dependency on this package's own name was found., The inspected install hook does not show credential collection or network exfiltration., The OpenAI embedding request is a runtime provider feature using its configured API key, not an install-time action. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @roarpeng/graphflow@1.18.1. - Avoid installing @roarpeng/graphflow@1.18.1. 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.
