SpecShip self-contained bundle for linux-arm64

AI Security Review

scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

No confirmed malicious attack surface. The package contains a user-invoked SpecShip/Claude Code integration that writes package-owned MCP, command, agent, permission, and sync-hook configuration after explicit CLI use.

Static reason

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

Trigger

User runs bin/specship or `specship install`/`specship init`.

Impact

Configures SpecShip code-index MCP tools and optional project sync automation; no install-time execution or exfiltration confirmed.

Mechanism

user-invoked Claude Code MCP extension setup

Rationale

The scanner-flagged primitives are package-aligned for a CLI that integrates SpecShip with Claude Code and are activated by explicit user commands, not npm lifecycle/import execution. Source inspection found broad agent-control writes, but they are guarded/user-invoked and package-owned rather than unconsented lifecycle hijacking.

Evidence

Decision evidence

public snapshot

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

Evidence for block

Ships native ARM64 node executable invoked by bin/specship.
User-invoked installer can write Claude MCP config, permissions, slash commands, subagent, and hooks.
Runtime installer can run `npm install -g @specship/specship` only after interactive confirmation.

Evidence against

package.json has no lifecycle scripts, bin, main, or module entrypoints.
Claude config mutation is reached via `specship`/`specship install`, not npm install/import time.
Default install is local project scope; global scope is prompted/flagged.
SDD CLAUDE.md rule and UserPromptSubmit hook require explicit `--sdd` opt-in.
MCP entry launches package-aligned `specship serve --mcp`; permissions are limited to mcp__specship tools.
No credential harvesting or external exfiltration found in inspected installer/bin paths.
