The explicit installer CLI deploys and persists a Maxy platform, installs dependencies, and configures a brand-scoped Claude environment. It enables unattended Claude permissions and installs agent plugins. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-10T21:34:47.262Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-10T21:35:42.284Z - **Download time:** 2017 ms - **Static scan time:** 3112 ms - **AI review time:** 49893 ms - **Total time:** 55022 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The explicit installer CLI deploys and persists a Maxy platform, installs dependencies, and configures a brand-scoped Claude environment. It enables unattended Claude permissions and installs agent plugins. - **Trigger:** User runs \`create-maxy-code\`. - **Impact:** Can install software/services and grant broad permissions to the installed product's Claude sessions. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.js, dist/permissions-seed.js, payload/server/server.js, payload/platform/config/brand.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-10T21:35:42.284Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** User-invoked system provisioning and brand-scoped agent configuration. - **Rationale:** This is a high-risk, explicit provisioning CLI with first-party agent-extension setup, not a covert install-time malware chain. Warn so users see the broad system and agent-control effects. - **Files touched:** dist/index.js, dist/permissions-seed.js, payload/server/server.js, ~/.maxy-code/.claude/settings.json, ~/maxy-code - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org/, https://platform.claude.com/v1/oauth/token, https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4, https://api.telegram.org, https://ollama.ai/install.sh, https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** \`dist/index.js\` is the executable CLI and deploys a persistent platform., User-invoked CLI writes \`~/.maxy-code/.claude/settings.json\` with \`bypassPermissions\`., CLI registers local Claude marketplaces/plugins in its brand-scoped config., CLI downloads/installers execute remote vendor scripts and system packages., Runtime handles Claude OAuth refresh tokens and Cloudflare API tokens. - **Evidence against:** \`package.json\` has no preinstall/install/postinstall hook., All high-impact behavior is reached through the explicit \`create-maxy-code\` command., Claude config is scoped to \`~/.maxy-code/.claude\`, not the default global config., Inspected token requests target stated provider APIs; no unrelated exfiltration endpoint found. ## Public findings ### 1.
