A global install automatically configures Cursor to launch the bundled local MCP server and adds Continuum slash commands. This is a first-party Cursor extension setup, not a remote payload or credential-exfiltration chain. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-11T20:54:37.533Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-11T20:55:37.600Z - **Download time:** 507 ms - **Static scan time:** 483 ms - **AI review time:** 59075 ms - **Total time:** 60067 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** A global install automatically configures Cursor to launch the bundled local MCP server and adds Continuum slash commands. This is a first-party Cursor extension setup, not a remote payload or credential-exfiltration chain. - **Trigger:** npm global install or update - **Impact:** Cursor will expose Continuum's local MCP tools after reload. - **Evidence paths:** scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/infrastructure/cursor/postinstall.js, dist/infrastructure/cursor/CursorMcpConfigWriter.js, dist/infrastructure/cursor/CursorCommandInstaller.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-11T20:55:37.600Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall mutation of Cursor MCP configuration and command directory - **Rationale:** Source confirms an install-time, first-party Cursor integration that changes Cursor configuration and commands. No fixed remote endpoint, secret harvesting, payload download, or covert execution was found. - **Files touched:** ~/.cursor/mcp.json, ~/.cursor/commands, dist/presentation/mcp/server.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** Global-install postinstall imports Cursor setup., Setup writes a Continuum MCP entry to Cursor config., Setup installs managed Cursor slash-command files. - **Evidence against:** Hook is limited to npm global installs., The registered command is the bundled local MCP server., Git sync requires a user-supplied remote URL; no fixed endpoint exists. ## Public findings ### 1.

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: L129: var commandsDir = resolveCursorCommandsDir(); L130: await mkdir(commandsDir, { recursive: true }); L131: 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. Medium: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Path:** dist/infrastructure/cursor/postinstall.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Global-install postinstall imports Cursor setup. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript async function main() { if (!isNpmGlobalInstall()) { return; } var result = await setupCursor(); ``` ### 12. Medium: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Path:** dist/infrastructure/cursor/CursorMcpConfigWriter.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Setup writes a Continuum MCP entry to Cursor config. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript var merged = mergeContinuumMcpServer(config, serverPath); if (!merged.updated && await fileExists(configPath)) { return ok({ configPath, updated: false }); } var content = `${JSON.stringify(merged.config, null, 4)}\n`; await writeFileAtomically(configPath, content); ``` ## 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:** 0.1.3 - **License:** MIT - **Version published:** 2026-08-11T20:51:17.831Z - **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:** 274,340 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 1 - **Attestations:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [Repository]() - [Homepage]() - [Issues]()
