Installation creates an app venv, may install a separate global Claude CLI, and persists PATH changes. No unconsented Claude/Codex configuration mutation or exfiltration was confirmed. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-13T09:27:13.227Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-13T09:30:02.828Z - **Download time:** 511 ms - **Static scan time:** 101 ms - **AI review time:** 168988 ms - **Total time:** 169601 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation creates an app venv, may install a separate global Claude CLI, and persists PATH changes. No unconsented Claude/Codex configuration mutation or exfiltration was confirmed. - **Trigger:** npm install, including postinstall - **Impact:** Changes user environment and installs an AI-agent CLI dependency without a separate user command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, npm/scripts/postinstall.js, npm/scripts/pathfix.js, npm/scripts/shortcut.js, dist/agent\_takkub-1.0.57-py3-none-any.whl - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-13T09:30:02.828Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** install-time environment provisioning and PATH persistence - **Rationale:** The source establishes an automatic lifecycle mutation of user-wide tooling and persistent shell state, warranting a warning. It does not establish concrete malicious behavior under the blocking policy. - **Files touched:** npm/scripts/postinstall.js, npm/scripts/pathfix.js, ~/.agent-takkub/venv, ~/.zshrc, ~/.bashrc, HKCU\\Environment\\Path ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** postinstall executes automatically on npm install., Installer creates a persistent isolated Python environment and installs the bundled wheel., If absent, postinstall globally installs Anthropic's Claude CLI., Installer persists the npm global bin directory in shell startup files or the Windows user PATH. - **Evidence against:** Postinstall states it leaves Claude plugins and Takkub config untouched., No credential exfiltration, remote payload download, eval, or stealth behavior was found in inspected npm sources., Bundled wheel is source-bearing Python code rather than an opaque executable payload. ## Public findings ### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.postinstall = node npm/scripts/postinstall.js ``` ### 2. Medium: Ambiguous Install Lifecycle Script - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 75.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Install-time lifecycle script is not statically allowlisted and needs review. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.postinstall = node npm/scripts/postinstall.js ``` ### 3. Low: Scripts Present - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 100.0% Package declares npm scripts. ### 4. Medium: Environment Vars - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 75.0% Package source references environment variables. ### 5. Medium: Install Persistence - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 75.0% - **Path:** npm/scripts/pathfix.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Source writes installer persistence such as shell profile or service configuration. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript L11: // then broadcasts WM_SETTINGCHANGE so new shells see it. L12: // • darwin/linux — appends a marker-guarded export block to ~/.zshrc (and L13: // ~/.bashrc when present). Idempotent via the marker. ...

Low: Filesystem - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 70.0% Package source references filesystem APIs. ### 7. Critical: Ai Agent Control Hijack - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** npm/scripts/postinstall.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Source creates an unconsented AI-agent control surface through install-time mutation or a default unauthenticated remote skill channel. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript Install-time code directly mutates a foreign AI-agent control surface: L8: // • REUSES an existing cockpit venv (upgrade in place) instead of wiping it. L9: // • Does NOT touch the global claude CLI, ~/.claude plugins, or ~/.takkub L10: // config. Anything shared/missing is left for an explicit, detect-first ...

L9: // • Does NOT touch the global claud ``` ### 8. High: Trigger Reachable Persistence - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Path:** npm/scripts/pathfix.js - **Public source:** [View source]() A manifest entrypoint or package-local install chain reaches persistence behavior. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript Trigger-reachable persistence chain: scripts.postinstall -> npm/scripts/postinstall.js -> npm/scripts/pathfix.js L11: // then broadcasts WM_SETTINGCHANGE so new shells see it.
