Cursor will launch the package MCP server and expose its tools to Agent chats. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Warn by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Soft block: AI-agent control surface - **Selected version:** 0.1.1 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM flags this version as an AI-agent control-surface risk. A global npm install automatically modifies Cursor's MCP configuration and installs agent slash commands. This creates a persistent AI-agent integration without a separate setup command. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-11T14:54:01.717Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-11T14:55:15.386Z - **Download time:** 506 ms - **Static scan time:** 229 ms - **AI review time:** 72933 ms - **Total time:** 73669 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** A global npm install automatically modifies Cursor's MCP configuration and installs agent slash commands. This creates a persistent AI-agent integration without a separate setup command. - **Trigger:** npm global installation or update - **Impact:** Cursor will launch the package MCP server and expose its tools to Agent chats. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/infrastructure/cursor/postinstall.js, dist/infrastructure/cursor/CursorMcpConfigWriter.js, dist/infrastructure/cursor/CursorCommandInstaller.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-11T14:55:15.386Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall registration of a bundled MCP server and Cursor commands - **Attack narrative:** During a global npm install, the lifecycle hook automatically registers a local MCP executable in Cursor's user-wide mcp.json and writes multiple slash-command files. This mutates a foreign AI-agent control surface before the user explicitly invokes the package setup command, causing Cursor Agent chats to load the package server. - **Rationale:** Source confirms an install-time, user-wide Cursor MCP and command mutation. This meets the firewall block boundary for unconsented postinstall mutation of a foreign AI-agent control surface. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/infrastructure/cursor/postinstall.js, dist/infrastructure/cursor/CursorMcpConfigWriter.js, dist/infrastructure/cursor/CursorCommandInstaller.js, ~/.cursor/mcp.json, ~/.cursor/commands/continuum-\*.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs postinstall on install., scripts/postinstall.mjs imports the Cursor setup hook., dist/infrastructure/cursor/postinstall.js runs on global npm installs., CursorMcpConfigWriter writes ~/.cursor/mcp.json., CursorCommandInstaller creates managed ~/.cursor/commands files. - **Evidence against:** The hook targets its bundled local MCP server, not a remote payload., No network endpoint, credential harvesting, or exfiltration was found., Git sync requires an explicit user-supplied remote 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. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.postinstall = node ./scripts/postinstall.mjs ``` ### 2. Medium: Ambiguous Install Lifecycle Script - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 75.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Install-time lifecycle script is not statically allowlisted and needs review. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.postinstall = node ./scripts/postinstall.mjs ``` ### 3. Low: Non Install Lifecycle Scripts - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 80.0% Package declares lifecycle scripts that are not normally run for registry tarball installs. ### 4. Low: Scripts Present - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 100.0% Package declares npm scripts. ### 5. Medium: Dynamic Require - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 75.0% - **Path:** scripts/postinstall.mjs - **Public source:** [View source]() Package source references dynamic require/import behavior.

Critical: Ai Agent Control Hijack - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** dist/infrastructure/cursor/CursorMcpConfig.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Source creates an unconsented AI-agent control surface through install-time mutation or a default unauthenticated remote skill channel. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript Install-time code directly mutates a foreign AI-agent control surface: L10: var nextEntry = buildContinuumMcpServerEntry(serverPath); L11: var existing = config.mcpServers?.[CONTINUUM_MCP_SERVER_NAME]; L12: if (existing !== undefined && entriesEqual(existing, nextEntry)) { ...

Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review - **Category:** Artifact Inventory - **Confidence:** 100.0% Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean. ### 10. High: Previous Version Dangerous Delta - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Path:** dist/presentation/cli/cli.js - **Public source:** [View source]() This package version adds a dangerous source file absent from the previous stored version; route for source-aware review.
