SpecShip self-contained bundle for linux-x64

AI Security Review

scanned 5d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

No confirmed malicious attack surface was established. The risky primitives are a user-invoked Claude Code integration installer and bundled CLI/runtime, consistent with the package purpose rather than install-time compromise.

Static reason

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

Trigger

User runs `bin/specship`/`specship install` or related CLI commands.

Impact

Can add SpecShip MCP server, auto-allow permissions, hooks, slash commands, agent file, optional status line, and local `.specship` index for Claude Code when requested.

Mechanism

User-invoked Claude MCP/commands/hooks installer and bundled Node runtime.

Rationale

Static inspection shows a self-contained SpecShip CLI bundle whose sensitive behavior is explicit Claude Code integration performed by user-invoked installer commands, with no lifecycle execution or exfiltration. Scanner hits map to expected CLI, MCP, installer, WASM/native runtime, and dynamic import patterns rather than concrete malware.

Evidence

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Clean at 87.0% confidence as Benign with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for block

lib/dist/installer/targets/claude.js writes Claude Code MCP config, settings hooks, slash commands, and agent files when `specship install` runs.
lib/dist/installer/index.js can run `npm install -g @specship/specship`, but only after an interactive prompt, skipped with `--yes`.
Package ships a large native `node` ELF used by bin/specship wrapper.

Evidence against

package.json has no lifecycle scripts, main, exports, or bin; install/import does not auto-run package code.
bin/specship explicitly runs bundled node with lib/dist/bin/specship.js only when user invokes CLI.
Dynamic eval in lib/dist/installer/index.js is an ESM import helper for @clack/prompts, not payload execution.
Claude config mutation is package-aligned, user-invoked installer behavior with local/global prompts and uninstall cleanup.
MCP permissions and hooks run `specship` commands, not arbitrary downloaded code or credential harvesting.
No source-grounded credential/env harvesting, exfiltration endpoint, persistence outside declared Claude integration, or destructive behavior found.
