Install-time code can migrate AI Kit's version-pinned IDE MCP launcher configuration, but only from its exact managed staging layout. No concrete exfiltration or remote payload chain was found in the inspected postinstall path. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-15T02:18:00.739Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-15T02:19:05.075Z - **Download time:** 763 ms - **Static scan time:** 7231 ms - **AI review time:** 56341 ms - **Total time:** 64336 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Install-time code can migrate AI Kit's version-pinned IDE MCP launcher configuration, but only from its exact managed staging layout. No concrete exfiltration or remote payload chain was found in the inspected postinstall path. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall inside ~/.aikit/versions/v\-staging/package with an existing current-version pointer. - **Impact:** May modify AI Kit-managed IDE MCP configuration during its own staged updater flow. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/postinstall-managed-launcher.mjs, packages/cli/dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-15T02:19:05.075Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** guarded same-product MCP launcher migration - **Rationale:** This package has a real guarded install-time MCP configuration migration, so it warrants a warning under the lifecycle policy. The source does not establish a malicious chain or unconsented broad control-surface takeover. - **Files touched:** bin/postinstall-managed-launcher.mjs, packages/cli/dist/index.js, ~/.aikit/current-version.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** postinstall executes a managed-launcher migration., In its guarded staging layout, it imports the bundled CLI and runs migrate-launcher., The migration is intended to update version-pinned IDE MCP launcher configuration. - **Evidence against:** Postinstall is a no-op outside ~/.aikit version staging., The inspected postinstall code contains no network, credential harvesting, or shell execution., This is a narrow same-product compatibility migration, not a broad foreign control-surface change. ## Public findings ### 1.
