A bundled skill document exposes credential material, creating a credential-leak risk independent of runtime behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-24T07:08:42.961Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-24T07:09:59.138Z - **Download time:** 516 ms - **Static scan time:** 4362 ms - **AI review time:** 71297 ms - **Total time:** 76177 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** An explicit CLI invocation without a subcommand installs agent skills; for Cursor, Claude, and Windsurf it also registers an MCP server. A bundled skill document exposes credential material, creating a credential-leak risk independent of runtime behavior. - **Trigger:** User runs npx analyzthis\_design or analyzthis\_design without a subcommand. - **Impact:** Modifies AI-agent configuration after explicit invocation and exposes embedded third-party credential material. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/bin/cli.js, dist/lib/install.js, dist/lib/mcp-server.js, skills/knowledge-bank/SKILL.md, dist/lib/feedback-submit.js, dist/lib/research.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-24T07:09:59.138Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Default global agent-skill installation and MCP configuration; plaintext credential disclosure in bundled documentation. - **Rationale:** No covert install-time execution, credential harvesting, or unconsented network exfiltration was found. The default agent-extension installation behavior and embedded credential material warrant a warning. - **Files touched:** ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.claude/skills, ~/.claude/commands, ~/.codeium/windsurf/skills, ~/.cursor/mcp.json, skills/knowledge-bank/SKILL.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Critical Vulnerability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** Running the CLI with no subcommand defaults to install., Install copies skills into AI-agent directories and auto-writes MCP configuration for supported hosts., Bundled knowledge-bank documentation contains plaintext credential material. - **Evidence against:** postinstall only prints usage text., Networked feedback submission requires configured endpoint/key and explicit consent., Research fetches only a user-supplied URL. ## 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.
