Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. This is the First Tree staging CLI. It can install its own Context plugin into Claude Code or Codex when a user runs context enable, which is first-party agent-extension setup rather than an unconsented install-hook hijack. Readable source does not show secret theft, a hidden third-party sink, or postinstall mutation of a foreign agent control surface. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 78.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-19T11:22:54.288Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-19T11:29:07.192Z - **Download time:** 515 ms - **Static scan time:** 27078 ms - **AI review time:** 345311 ms - **Total time:** 372904 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The First Tree staging CLI can install its own first-tree-context plugin into Claude Code or Codex at user scope after an explicit context enable apply. npm postinstall only prunes bundled native SDK packages on global installs and does not write those agent configs. - **Trigger:** A user runs first-tree-staging context enable (or a related context repair/apply path) after the package is already installed. - **Impact:** Claude Code or Codex loads First Tree context skills and a session-start hook that launches First Tree context-session-start. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli/index.mjs, context-integration/claude-code/.claude-plugin/marketplace.json, context-integration/claude-code/plugins/first-tree-context/hooks/hooks.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-19T11:29:07.192Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** First-party user-scope Claude Code and Codex plugin install - **Rationale:** This is the First Tree staging CLI. It can install its own Context plugin into Claude Code or Codex when a user runs context enable, which is first-party agent-extension setup rather than an unconsented install-hook hijack. Readable source does not show secret theft, a hidden third-party sink, or postinstall mutation of a foreign agent control surface. - **Files touched:** context-integration/claude-code/plugins/first-tree-context, context-integration/claude-code/plugins/first-tree-context/hooks/hooks.json, ~/.claude/plugins/cache ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 78.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The published package ships a CLI bin plus a context-integration payload used to install First Tree into other coding agents., The bundled Claude marketplace names first-tree-context as the First Tree Context plugin., The CLI Claude driver adds that marketplace and installs the plugin with user scope., Installed plugin files are resolved under the user Claude config plugins cache., The context enable persistent-apply path plans and installs first-tree-context through the provider driver., The plugin registers a SessionStart hook that runs First Tree context-session-start. - **Evidence against:** postinstall only prunes bundled Claude and Codex native SDK packages on global installs and does not write agent config., Persistent plugin apply is an explicit context enable command with a confirm prompt, not an npm lifecycle hook., login posts a user-supplied connect code to the First Tree /api/v1/auth/connect-token route on a derived hub URL., The package does not runtime-depend on another first-tree-staging release., Scanner credential-exfil labels target dist/connect-token-CqPWcIQI.mjs, which is not readable as text here, while readable CLI shows ordinary product login., @botiverse/kimi-code-sdk is a declared Moonshot/Botiverse agent SDK, not a hidden dropper. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to first-tree-staging@0.5.23-staging.1236.1. - Review the evidence and your use of first-tree-staging@0.5.23-staging.1236.1 before allowing it.
