## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Installation automatically fetches and executes Claude's remote installer. It also creates package-owned CLI-JAW state and MCP configuration.

- **Trigger:** npm postinstall

- **Impact:** Remote publisher-controlled code executes during dependency installation without an explicit opt-in.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall-guard.cjs, dist/bin/postinstall.js, dist/lib/mcp/unified-config.js, dist/lib/mcp/skills-symlinks.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-07-11T03:52:55.202Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** curl remote installer then bash execution

- **Rationale:** The lifecycle source confirms unconsented remote-script execution during install. It is package-aligned setup behavior rather than demonstrated credential theft or stealth persistence, but remains a material supply-chain risk.

- **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall-guard.cjs, dist/bin/postinstall.js, ~/.cli-jaw/skills, ~/.cli-jaw/uploads, ~/.cli-jaw/mcp.json, ~/.cli-jaw/heartbeat.json

- **Network endpoints:** https://claude.ai/install.sh, https://claude.ai/install.ps1, https://mcp.context7.com/mcp

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** \`package.json\` runs \`scripts/postinstall-guard.cjs\` on install., \`dist/bin/postinstall.js\` installs Claude by default unless skip env is set., Claude install downloads \`https://claude.ai/install.sh\` then executes it with \`bash\`., Postinstall also initializes \`~/.cli-jaw/mcp.json\` with Context7 URL.

- **Evidence against:** Shared \`~/.agents\`, \`~/.agent\`, and \`~/.claude\` skill links require explicit migration env., Other CLI-tool installation requires \`CLI\_JAW\_INSTALL\_CLI\_TOOLS=1\`., No credential harvesting or package-controlled exfiltration found in inspected lifecycle sources.
