Installation starts a detached loopback web server and, for source checkouts, writes a pre-commit hook. During user-requested local Claude sessions, the app adds its managed hooks to workspace settings. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-22T13:39:09.462Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-22T13:40:28.887Z - **Download time:** 1023 ms - **Static scan time:** 7578 ms - **AI review time:** 70822 ms - **Total time:** 79425 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation starts a detached loopback web server and, for source checkouts, writes a pre-commit hook. During user-requested local Claude sessions, the app adds its managed hooks to workspace settings. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall; later local Claude session creation - **Impact:** Unexpected local persistence and agent-session control integration; no confirmed exfiltration or remote payload chain. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, dist/hooks-config.js, dist/web/server.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-22T13:40:28.887Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall autostart and first-party Claude workspace-hook setup - **Rationale:** This is not concrete malware, but the unprompted lifecycle autostart/hook write and default workspace-agent hook installation warrant a warning under the lifecycle-risk policy. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.js, dist/index.js, .git/hooks/pre-commit, \/.claude/settings.local.json - **Network endpoints:** http://127.0.0.1:3000 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** npm postinstall runs automatically., Postinstall spawns a detached local web server., Source-checkout postinstall overwrites .git/hooks/pre-commit., Claude session creation defaults to adding Codeman hooks to workspace .claude settings. - **Evidence against:** Postinstall does not write AI-agent settings., The server defaults to loopback binding., Workspace hook writes occur during user-requested local Claude sessions., Hook updates merge existing settings rather than replacing them., No credential exfiltration or attacker-controlled remote payload execution was confirmed. ## Public findings ### 1.
