On npm global install, the lifecycle hook configures a local Continuum MCP server in Cursor and installs Continuum slash commands. No remote endpoint or credential-exfiltration path was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-13T15:53:56.018Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-13T15:54:56.048Z - **Download time:** 505 ms - **Static scan time:** 422 ms - **AI review time:** 59102 ms - **Total time:** 60030 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** On npm global install, the lifecycle hook configures a local Continuum MCP server in Cursor and installs Continuum slash commands. No remote endpoint or credential-exfiltration path was found. - **Trigger:** npm global installation - **Impact:** Enables this package's local MCP server and commands in Cursor without an explicit setup command. - **Evidence paths:** scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/infrastructure/cursor/postinstall.js, dist/infrastructure/cursor/CursorMcpConfigWriter.js, dist/infrastructure/cursor/CursorCommandInstaller.js, dist/infrastructure/cursor/CursorMcpConfig.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-13T15:54:56.048Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall mutation of the package-owned Cursor MCP integration - **Rationale:** The package performs a real install-time Cursor integration mutation, warranting a warning under the lifecycle policy. Its scope is limited to the named Continuum integration and no concrete malicious behavior was found. - **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:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** postinstall imports and executes Cursor setup code., Global installs automatically run setupCursor()., Setup writes ~/.cursor/mcp.json and Cursor slash-command files., The MCP entry executes this package's bundled server. - **Evidence against:** Mutation is limited to the package's named continuum Cursor integration., No network client or remote endpoint was found in inspected JavaScript., CLI also exposes the setup action transparently. ## 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:** dist/infrastructure/config/packageVersion.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Package source references dynamic require/import behavior. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript L1: import { createRequire } from 'node:module'; L2: const require = createRequire(import.meta.url); L3: export const PACKAGE_VERSION = require('../../../package.json').version; ``` ### 6.

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)) { ... L17: ...config, L18: mcpServers: { L19: ...config.mcpServers, L20: [CONTINUUM_MCP_SERVER_NAME]: nextEntry, Write operation from [redacted].js: L112: var commandsDir = resolveCursorCommandsDir(); L113: await mkdir(commandsDir, { recursive: true }); L114: var installed = []; Foreign user/project scope from [redacted].js: L1: import { homedir } from 'node:os'; L2: import { join } from 'node:path'; ``` ### 9. Low: High Entropy Strings - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 55.0% Package source contains high-entropy string patterns. ### 10. 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. ### 11. 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. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript matchType = previous_version_dangerous_delta matchedPackage = continuum-ai@0.1.8 matchedIdentity = npm:Y29udGludXVtLWFp:0.1.8 similarity = 0.592 summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file ``` ### 12. Medium: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Path:** scripts/postinstall.mjs - **Public source:** [View source]() postinstall imports and executes Cursor setup code. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript var postinstallPath = join( dirname(fileURLToPath(import.meta.url)), '../[redacted].js', ); if (!existsSync(postinstallPath)) { process.exit(0); } await import(postinstallPath); ``` ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** Yes - **Published lifecycle scripts:** postinstall, prepublishOnly - **Dependencies:** 3 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 7 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 3 ### Published dependency entries - @modelcontextprotocol/sdk ^1.12.1 (Dependency) - commander ^13.1.0 (Dependency) - zod ^3.24.2 (Dependency) ## Package metadata - **Package:** continuum-ai - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 0.1.14 - **License:** MIT - **Version published:** 2026-08-13T15:25:13.921Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-08-11T14:17:24.434Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-08-13T22:35:05.713Z - **Known versions:** 13 - **Latest version:** 1.0.0 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Description:** Persist and reuse work context across chats, projects, and tools via MCP and CLI - **Author:** Bruno Vinicius Souza Alcantara - **Maintainers:** allcantara - **Keywords:** mcp, context, memory, ai, cursor - **Runtime engines:** node: \>=24.15.0 - **Artifact files:** 204 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 279,572 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 1 - **Attestations:** Yes - **Provenance:** https://slsa.dev/provenance/v1 ## References - [HTML security report]() - [Repository]() - [Homepage]() - [Issues]()
