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. Review flagged AI-agent configuration or capability changes. This remains warn-only unless evidence shows foreign-agent hijack through preinstall/install/postinstall, hidden persistence, exfiltration, remote code execution, or other concrete malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-17T06:13:39.360Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-17T06:16:35.555Z - **Download time:** 775 ms - **Static scan time:** 6000 ms - **AI review time:** 169419 ms - **Total time:** 176195 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:** This CLI can write Solid MCP entries into Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code config files and can add a Claude Code SessionStart hook. Those writes happen when the user runs solid setup, solid mcp install, or solid install, not during npm postinstall. - **Trigger:** User runs solid setup, solid install, solid mcp install, or a first-run TTY solid with no arguments. - **Impact:** Coding agents may load Solid MCP tools and auto-refresh Solid context files in tenant directories. - **Evidence paths:** dist/commands/mcp.js, dist/lib/mcp-client-config.js, dist/commands/install.js, dist/commands/setup.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-17T06:16:35.555Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Explicit CLI commands merge first-party MCP config and a Claude SessionStart hook into editor settings - **Rationale:** This is a first-party Solid\# CLI that wires its own MCP server into editors only after the user runs solid setup, solid mcp install, or solid install. The npm postinstall hook is a console banner, so this is user-command agent-config mutation rather than an install-time hijack. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.cursor/mcp.json, ~/.claude.json, ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude\_desktop\_config.json, ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp\_config.json, ~/.solid/identity.json, ~/.solid/mcp-key - **Network endpoints:** https://api.solidnumber.com, https://api.solidnumber.com/api/v1/cli/identity, https://api.solidnumber.com/api/v1/cli/telemetry/event ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** User commands write Solid MCP entries into Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code config files., solid install upserts a SessionStart hook in ~/.claude/settings.json; solid setup runs that step with no extra confirm., solid mcp serve launches npx -y @solidnumber/mcp with session credentials in the environment., First CLI invocation silently creates ~/.solid/identity.json and POSTs machine\_id and version to api.solidnumber.com. - **Evidence against:** npm postinstall only prints a get-started banner and does not write files or agent configs., No preinstall hook, no runtime self-dependency on another @solidnumber/cli release, and no obfuscated installer., MCP wiring is the documented product of this CLI and is prompted or gated by --yes when the user runs setup or mcp install., Scanner known-malware-similarity hits are ordinary compiled command modules of this same CLI, not a hidden dropper. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @solidnumber/cli@2.23.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @solidnumber/cli@2.23.0 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.
