SpecShip self-contained bundle for darwin-x64

AI Security Review

scanned 4d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

No confirmed malicious attack surface. Risky primitives are tied to a user-invoked Claude Code MCP installer and local code-indexing/product features, not lifecycle or hidden execution.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

User runs bin/specship with no args or specship install; package install alone does not trigger code.

Impact

Writes SpecShip-owned Claude MCP config, permissions, slash commands, optional hooks/statusline, and project index files when requested.

Mechanism

User-invoked MCP/config installer and code-indexing CLI

Rationale

Static inspection found no lifecycle execution, hidden exfiltration, persistence, or unconsented AI-agent control mutation. The suspicious installer and hook behavior is documented, user-invoked, and aligned with the package's stated Claude Code MCP/code-intelligence purpose.

Evidence

package.jsonbin/specshiplib/package.jsonlib/dist/bin/specship.jslib/dist/installer/index.jslib/dist/installer/targets/claude.jslib/dist/installer/targets/shared.jslib/dist/installer/instructions-template.js./.mcp.json./.claude/settings.json./.claude/commands/specship/explore.md./.claude/agents/specship-explorer.md./CLAUDE.md~/.claude.json~/.claude/settings.json~/.claude/commands/specship/explore.md~/.claude/agents/specship-explorer.md~/.claude/CLAUDE.md.specship/

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 86.0% confidence as Benign with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for block

User-invoked installer can write Claude config and hooks in lib/dist/installer/targets/claude.js.
Interactive installer may run npm install -g @specship/specship in lib/dist/installer/index.js.
Package ships bundled native node executable at node.

Evidence against

package.json has no lifecycle scripts, main, or bin; install-time execution is absent.
bin/specship only launches bundled node with lib/dist/bin/specship.js and user args.
Claude config writes are explicit installer behavior for a Claude Code MCP tool, with local default and prompts unless --yes is used.
Auto hooks are package-aligned commands: specship sync --quiet and optional specship spec-nudge.
No credential harvesting or exfiltration endpoints found in inspected installer/entrypoint paths.
Dynamic eval is limited to ESM import helper new Function('specifier','return import(specifier)').
