Installing the package globally mutates user environment and installs a separate global Claude CLI. No credential theft or payload execution was confirmed. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-19T04:38:17.197Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-19T04:40:45.575Z - **Download time:** 509 ms - **Static scan time:** 95 ms - **AI review time:** 147773 ms - **Total time:** 148378 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installing the package globally mutates user environment and installs a separate global Claude CLI. No credential theft or payload execution was confirmed. - **Trigger:** npm install, especially global install - **Impact:** Persistent user-environment changes and unconsented installation of an AI-agent CLI. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, npm/scripts/postinstall.js, npm/scripts/pathfix.js, npm/scripts/shortcut.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-19T04:40:45.575Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall bootstraps a venv, global CLI, PATH entry, and launcher - **Rationale:** The unconsented install-time system and AI-tooling mutations are a real lifecycle risk, but the inspected source does not establish a concrete malicious chain. Downgrade to warning rather than block. - **Files touched:** ~/.agent-takkub/venv, ~/.zshrc, ~/.bashrc, HKCU\\Environment\\Path, ~/Desktop/Takkub Cockpit.app, ~/Applications/Takkub Cockpit.app ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** Install lifecycle invokes postinstall., Postinstall installs the global @anthropic-ai/claude-code CLI when absent., Postinstall persistently modifies shell PATH or the Windows user PATH., Postinstall creates a desktop application launcher. - **Evidence against:** No source evidence of credential harvesting or direct exfiltration., The wheel is installed from the bundled local archive., Claude plugin/config changes are deferred to the explicit takkub provision command. ## Public findings ### 1.
