A global npm install automatically registers this package's local MCP server in Cursor and adds managed Cursor commands. This modifies an AI-agent control surface without a separate setup command. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-13T03:13:01.608Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-13T03:14:10.001Z - **Download time:** 255 ms - **Static scan time:** 587 ms - **AI review time:** 67550 ms - **Total time:** 68393 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** A global npm install automatically registers this package's local MCP server in Cursor and adds managed Cursor commands. This modifies an AI-agent control surface without a separate setup command. - **Trigger:** npm global installation or update runs postinstall - **Impact:** Cursor may start the package MCP server and expose its session-management tools. - **Evidence paths:** scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/infrastructure/cursor/postinstall.js, dist/infrastructure/cursor/CursorMcpConfigWriter.js, dist/infrastructure/cursor/CursorCommandInstaller.js, dist/infrastructure/cursor/CursorPaths.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-13T03:14:10.001Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** guarded first-party Cursor MCP and slash-command setup - **Rationale:** This is a concrete guarded first-party agent-extension lifecycle mutation, which warrants a warning under the stated policy. Source inspection found no exfiltration, remote payload execution, or broader control-surface takeover. - **Files touched:** ~/.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:** Global postinstall invokes Cursor setup., Setup writes ~/.cursor/mcp.json and registers the package MCP server., Setup installs managed Cursor slash-command files. - **Evidence against:** Postinstall exits for non-global installs., No hard-coded network endpoint, credential harvesting, or remote payload execution found. ## 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. Medium: Environment Vars - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 75.0% Package source references environment variables. ### 7. Low: Filesystem - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 70.0% Package source references filesystem APIs. ### 8. 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: L138: var commandsDir = resolveCursorCommandsDir(); L139: await mkdir(commandsDir, { recursive: true }); L140: 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@0.1.7 matchedIdentity = npm:Y29udGludXVtLWFp:0.1.7 similarity = 0.816 summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file ``` ### 12. Medium: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Path:** dist/infrastructure/cursor/postinstall.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Global postinstall invokes Cursor setup. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript async function main() { if (!isNpmGlobalInstall()) { return; } var result = await setupCursor(); ``` ## 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:** 0.1.8 - **License:** MIT - **Version published:** 2026-08-13T03:04:34.712Z - **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:** 216 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 308,148 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 1 - **Attestations:** Yes - **Provenance:** https://slsa.dev/provenance/v1 ## References - [HTML security report]() - [Repository]() - [Homepage]() - [Issues]()
