That server restores previous sessions and can inject Codeman hook entries into foreign Claude workspaces by default. - **Trigger:** npm installation runs the postinstall hook without CODEMAN\_NO\_AUTOSTART or CI. - **Impact:** Existing project .claude/settings.local.json files can be created or modified without an explicit command at install time. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, dist/web/server.js, dist/hooks-config.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-05T05:57:15.537Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Postinstall-launched server restores sessions and writes Claude workspace hooks. - **Attack narrative:** npm runs the postinstall script, which starts a detached Codeman server by default. On boot the server restores stored sessions and invokes the recovered-workspace hook sweep. The hook helper creates or merges .claude/settings.local.json, and its setting is enabled by default when settings cannot be read. This makes an ordinary package installation capable of mutating Claude Code control configuration in previously used project workspaces. - **Rationale:** The automatic lifecycle path launches a persistent process that can modify foreign AI-agent workspace configuration, rather than limiting setup to the installed package. This is an unconsented postinstall AI-agent control-surface mutation. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.js, dist/web/server.js, dist/hooks-config.js, .claude/settings.local.json - **Network endpoints:** 127.0.0.1 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The manifest runs scripts/postinstall.js automatically after installation., The postinstall script detaches and unreferences a Codeman web-server process unless an opt-out variable is set., Server startup restores prior sessions and then runs a workspace hook sweep., The hook sweep creates or modifies each recovered workspace's .claude/settings.local.json; the setting defaults to enabled when unavailable. - **Evidence against:** No runtime dependency on aicodeman itself is declared., The postinstall server binds to local loopback by default; no lifecycle-time external exfiltration was found. ## Public findings ### 1.
