Postinstall conditionally migrates version-pinned AI Kit MCP registrations in detected user IDE configurations to the package's launcher. This is a guarded same-product control-surface change, not a confirmed malicious chain. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-27T20:37:43.138Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-27T20:39:01.571Z - **Download time:** 1286 ms - **Static scan time:** 2320 ms - **AI review time:** 74826 ms - **Total time:** 78433 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Postinstall conditionally migrates version-pinned AI Kit MCP registrations in detected user IDE configurations to the package's launcher. This is a guarded same-product control-surface change, not a confirmed malicious chain. - **Trigger:** npm install inside the package's exact managed AI Kit staging layout - **Impact:** Updates matching AI Kit MCP entries in detected user-level IDE configuration files. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/postinstall-managed-launcher.mjs, bin/aikit.mjs, packages/cli/dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-27T20:39:01.571Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** guarded legacy MCP launcher migration - **Rationale:** The package has a real install-time AI-agent configuration migration, so it warrants a warning under the lifecycle policy. Source inspection shows it is narrowly guarded and package-aligned rather than malicious. - **Files touched:** ~/.aikit/current-version.json, ~/.aikit/versions/v\*-staging/package, bin/postinstall-managed-launcher.mjs, packages/cli/dist/index.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs a postinstall script., bin/postinstall-managed-launcher.mjs imports the CLI during managed staging installs., packages/cli/dist/index.js can rewrite detected user IDE MCP configuration. - **Evidence against:** Postinstall is a no-op outside ~/.aikit/versions/v\*-staging/package., Migration requires ~/.aikit/current-version.json and only invokes migrate-launcher., Migration only replaces entries whose command/args contain a version-pinned ~/.aikit/versions/vX.Y.Z path., No install-time network, credential collection, or payload download was found. ## Public findings ### 1.
