SpecShip self-contained bundle for linux-arm64

AI Security Review

scanned 1d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

LPM treats this as warn-only first-party agent extension lifecycle risk. No install-time attack surface was found. An explicit `specship install` can configure SpecShip as a Claude Code MCP server and add first-party hooks in local or global Claude configuration.

Static reason

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

Trigger

User runs `specship install` or invokes the CLI update command.

Impact

Can persist SpecShip MCP/hook configuration in user or project Claude settings; no unconsented lifecycle execution or exfiltration was found.

Mechanism

explicit first-party Claude Code extension setup and self-update

Rationale

Not malicious by static source inspection: the root package has no lifecycle scripts and no confirmed credential exfiltration, remote payload execution, or destructive chain. Flag as warn because explicit installation can persist MCP and hook configuration in global Claude Code settings.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

`lib/dist/installer/targets/claude.js` registers SpecShip MCP, Claude hooks, permissions, instructions, commands, and agent files.
The installer can target global `~/.claude.json` and `~/.claude/settings.json`, affecting all Claude projects.
`lib/dist/update/run-installer.js` runs `npm i -g @specship/specship@latest` only through explicit update flow.

Evidence against

Root `package.json` has no `preinstall`, `install`, `postinstall`, or other lifecycle hook.
`bin/specship` only executes the bundled CLI after explicit user invocation.
Installer writes are scoped to named `specship` config entries and documented Claude locations.
Update checks use declared GitHub and npm-registry endpoints; no credential harvesting or exfiltration was confirmed.
`new Function` in `lib/dist/installer/index.js` is an ESM dynamic-import compatibility helper, not payload evaluation.
