The user-invoked installer provisions a privileged local Maxy/Claude environment, including services, packages, and Claude plugins. It disables Claude permission prompts inside the package-owned Maxy configuration. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-10T15:04:52.916Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-10T15:06:07.382Z - **Download time:** 1513 ms - **Static scan time:** 2560 ms - **AI review time:** 70393 ms - **Total time:** 74466 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The user-invoked installer provisions a privileged local Maxy/Claude environment, including services, packages, and Claude plugins. It disables Claude permission prompts inside the package-owned Maxy configuration. - **Trigger:** User runs the create-maxy-code CLI. - **Impact:** A user running it grants substantial local system and agent-control changes to the package. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.js, dist/permissions-seed.js, payload/platform/config/brand.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-10T15:06:07.382Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Explicit installer provisions system software and a Maxy-scoped Claude control surface. - **Rationale:** This is a high-impact, user-invoked installer with an agent permission-bypass configuration, warranting a warning. The configuration is package-owned and no unconsented lifecycle mutation of a broad/foreign AI-agent surface was confirmed. - **Files touched:** dist/index.js, dist/permissions-seed.js, payload/platform/config/brand.json, ~/.maxy-code/.claude/settings.json - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org/, https://dl.google.com/linux/linux\_signing\_key.pub, https://debian.neo4j.com, https://ollama.ai/install.sh, https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh, https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflared/releases/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** dist/index.js runs the full installer when its CLI bin is invoked., dist/index.js installs system packages/services and executes remote vendor installer pipelines., dist/index.js seeds ~/.maxy-code/.claude/settings.json with defaultMode=bypassPermissions., dist/index.js registers local and remote Claude plugins under the Maxy-specific CLAUDE\_CONFIG\_DIR., dist/permissions-seed.js overwrites the Maxy-scoped Claude permission and auto-mode blocks. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., Activation requires the user to invoke create-maxy-code; importing/installing the package does not run it., Claude configuration is scoped to ~/.maxy-code/.claude, not the default ~/.claude path., Observed downloads target named package dependencies and vendor install endpoints; no credential exfiltration path was confirmed. ## Public findings ### 1.
