Install lifecycle performs broad but package-aligned setup: creates an isolated venv, installs the bundled wheel, may install Claude Code globally, persists PATH, and adds a launcher. No confirmed malicious payload or unconsented ~/.claude plugin/config mutation was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-08T08:43:36.336Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-08T08:44:42.586Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 223 ms - **AI review time:** 65517 ms - **Total time:** 66250 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Install lifecycle performs broad but package-aligned setup: creates an isolated venv, installs the bundled wheel, may install Claude Code globally, persists PATH, and adds a launcher. No confirmed malicious payload or unconsented ~/.claude plugin/config mutation was found. - **Trigger:** npm install -g agent-takkub - **Impact:** User environment changes at install time; AI-agent plugin/MCP changes require explicit takkub provision command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, npm/scripts/postinstall.js, npm/scripts/pathfix.js, npm/scripts/shortcut.js, npm/scripts/lib.js, npm/bin/agent-takkub.js, npm/bin/takkub.js, dist/agent\_takkub-1.0.20-py3-none-any.whl - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-08T08:44:42.586Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall provisioning and PATH/launcher persistence - **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms risky lifecycle behavior and environment persistence, but it is package-aligned setup without exfiltration, destructive behavior, remote payload execution, or automatic foreign AI-agent config hijack. This should warn rather than block. - **Files touched:** package.json, npm/scripts/postinstall.js, npm/scripts/pathfix.js, npm/scripts/shortcut.js, npm/scripts/lib.js, npm/bin/agent-takkub.js, npm/bin/takkub.js, dist/agent\_takkub-1.0.20-py3-none-any.whl, ~/.agent-takkub, ~/.zshrc, ~/.bashrc, HKCU\\Environment\\Path, ~/Desktop/Takkub Cockpit.app, ~/Desktop/Takkub Cockpit.lnk ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** package.json runs postinstall: node npm/scripts/postinstall.js, npm/scripts/postinstall.js creates ~/.agent-takkub venv and pip-installs bundled dist wheel at install time, npm/scripts/postinstall.js installs @anthropic-ai/claude-code globally if claude is missing, npm/scripts/pathfix.js persists npm global bin in HKCU Environment Path or shell rc files, npm/scripts/shortcut.js creates Desktop launcher files during postinstall - **Evidence against:** postinstall explicitly avoids ~/.claude plugins and ~/.takkub config, AI plugin/MCP setup is in explicit user command takkub provision, not automatic postinstall, bin wrappers only spawn the provisioned venv Python modules when user invokes CLI, wheel plugin\_installer uses claude plugin commands for named recommended plugins, user-invoked, No credential harvesting, exfiltration endpoint, eval, shell=True payload, or destructive install behavior found ## Public findings ### 1.
