The package has install-time agent integration risk, not confirmed malware. Postinstall can mutate existing workspace MCP files or, on global/explicit installs, user agent MCP configs to register the package's own GraphFlow MCP server. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-05T08:35:24.399Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-05T08:36:38.268Z - **Download time:** 511 ms - **Static scan time:** 1451 ms - **AI review time:** 71905 ms - **Total time:** 73869 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The package has install-time agent integration risk, not confirmed malware. Postinstall can mutate existing workspace MCP files or, on global/explicit installs, user agent MCP configs to register the package's own GraphFlow MCP server. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall during local/global install; explicit CLI install for broader setup - **Impact:** AI coding agents may gain a new graphflow MCP server and package guidance without a separate in-app confirmation; no exfiltration or destructive chain was confirmed. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/safe-postinstall.cjs, dist/integrations/agent-mcp-installer.js, dist/surfaces/mcp/server.js, dist/surfaces/mcp/tool-handlers.js, dist/routing/provider-adapters/openai.js, dist/routing/provider-adapters/anthropic.js, dist/learning/embeddings.js, dist/surfaces/trae-skill/graphflow/SKILL.md, dist/surfaces/cursor-rules/graphflow.mdc, CLAUDE.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-05T08:36:38.268Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** first-party MCP/skill/rules auto-registration - **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms broad AI-agent control-surface mutation at install time, but it is first-party package-owned setup and the runtime network behavior is aligned with user-configured LLM/embedding providers. This warrants a warning rather than a publish block under the install control-surface policy. - **Files touched:** ~/.graphflow-install-version, .cursor/mcp.json, .vscode/mcp.json, .graphflow/skills/graphflow/SKILL.md, ~/.cursor/rules/graphflow.mdc, ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md, ~/.codex/config.toml - **Network endpoints:** https://api.openai.com/v1, https://api.anthropic.com, https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1, https://ark.cn-beijing.volces.com/api/v3 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** package.json runs node scripts/safe-postinstall.cjs on postinstall, scripts/safe-postinstall.cjs writes .cursor/.vscode workspace MCP configs when existing, global or GRAPHFLOW\_ENABLE\_POSTINSTALL path installs user-scope MCP entries via dist/integrations/agent-mcp-installer.js, installer targets many agent configs including Cursor, VS Code, Trae, Claude Code, Codex, Windsurf, Gemini, Cline, postinstall copies package-owned SKILL.md, graphflow.mdc, and CLAUDE.md into detected agent locations - **Evidence against:** MCP entry launches @roarpeng/graphflow graphflow-mcp, not an unrelated payload, network calls are user-invoked provider APIs: OpenAI, Anthropic, Bailian, Doubao, graph mcp-http, embeddings, no credential harvesting or exfiltration endpoints found beyond configured provider API use, CLI install/uninstall commands are explicit user actions; uninstall removes graphflow entries, WASM files are tree-sitter grammar assets for code indexing, dropped instruction files describe GraphFlow usage and do not contain credential theft or destructive instructions ## Public findings ### 1.
