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. npm postinstall automatically installs this package's own FocalAPI skills into detected third-party agent skill directories, which is first-party extension setup rather than provider hijack or secret theft. Scanner DNS and credential-redirect labels do not match the source: the dummy host is a path allowlist, and API keys go to api.focalapi.com only on explicit login. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-17T20:11:07.660Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-17T20:13:48.690Z - **Download time:** 250 ms - **Static scan time:** 417 ms - **AI review time:** 160362 ms - **Total time:** 161030 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:** npm postinstall runs focalapi connect install, which copies this package's FocalAPI skill files into detected third-party agent skill directories such as Claude Code and Cursor. It does not change agent providers or send keys during install. After restart, those agents may start using the FocalAPI CLI for creative tasks. - **Trigger:** npm install (postinstall) when CI and FOCALAPI\_SKIP\_POSTINSTALL are unset, or a later focalapi connect install command - **Impact:** Detected agents load FocalAPI skills and may call the focalapi CLI without the user naming FocalAPI. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.cjs, dist/cli.js, skills/focalapi/SKILL.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-17T20:13:48.690Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** unattended first-party agent skill directory install - **Rationale:** npm postinstall automatically installs this package's own FocalAPI skills into detected third-party agent skill directories, which is first-party extension setup rather than provider hijack or secret theft. Scanner DNS and credential-redirect labels do not match the source: the dummy host is a path allowlist, and API keys go to api.focalapi.com only on explicit login. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.cjs, dist/cli.js, skills/focalapi/SKILL.md, .focalapi-managed-skills.json, ~/.claude/skills, ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.agents/skills - **Network endpoints:** https://api.focalapi.com, https://focalapi.com, https://registry.npmjs.org/focalapi-cli/latest ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** package.json postinstall runs node scripts/postinstall.cjs on npm install., postinstall spawns dist/cli.js connect install --json with no user command., connect install copies bundled focalapi skill folders into every detected third-party agent skills directory., The catalog targets many foreign agents, including Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and GitHub Copilot., Bundled skills tell agents to use FocalAPI for creative work even when the user does not name it. - **Evidence against:** Writes only first-party focalapi skill folders and a managed-skills manifest; it does not edit MCP, settings.json, or provider configs., Default API host is https://api.focalapi.com; the key is sent only on explicit auth login., https://focalapi.invalid is a dummy URL base used to reject off-site request paths, not DNS exfiltration., Postinstall is skipped when FOCALAPI\_SKIP\_POSTINSTALL or CI is set, and a failed connect does not fail npm install., No eval, obfuscation, runtime self-dependency, or harvesting of unrelated environment secrets. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to focalapi-cli@1.0.5. - Review the evidence and your use of focalapi-cli@1.0.5 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
