The installed MCP entry launches the latest npm fraim package, creating a continuing remote-code update path. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-29T20:52:08.465Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-29T20:53:06.860Z - **Download time:** 503 ms - **Static scan time:** 2644 ms - **AI review time:** 55246 ms - **Total time:** 58395 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** An explicit \`fraim setup\`/\`fraim add-ide\` can modify detected AI IDE MCP configurations. The installed MCP entry launches the latest npm fraim package, creating a continuing remote-code update path. - **Trigger:** User runs \`fraim setup\` or \`fraim add-ide\`, then an IDE starts the configured MCP server. - **Impact:** Configured IDEs may execute a newer remotely retrieved fraim release and receive FRAIM remote content. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/src/cli/commands/setup.js, dist/src/cli/commands/add-ide.js, dist/src/cli/mcp/mcp-server-registry.js, dist/src/cli/mcp/fraim-mcp-latest-launcher.js, dist/src/cli/utils/remote-sync.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-29T20:53:06.860Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** AI-agent configuration mutation with unpinned npm package execution - **Rationale:** No concrete malicious install-time behavior or covert credential theft was found. The user-invoked, broad AI-agent configuration plus unpinned remote execution warrants a warning. - **Files touched:** ~/.fraim/bin/fraim-mcp-latest.js, ~/.fraim/npm-cache/mcp/, selected IDE MCP configuration files, project fraim/ sync directories - **Network endpoints:** https://fraim.wellnessatwork.me ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** dist/src/cli/commands/setup.js makes \`fraim setup\` configure detected IDE MCP configs and sync user artifacts., dist/src/cli/mcp/mcp-server-registry.js registers git and Playwright MCP servers plus FRAIM., dist/src/cli/mcp/fraim-mcp-latest-launcher.js writes a launcher that resolves latest fraim via npm and executes it with npx., dist/src/cli/utils/remote-sync.js fetches registry content from the FRAIM remote and writes synced files. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall/install/postinstall lifecycle hook., Entrypoints only dispatch the CLI; setup and sync require an explicit user command., IDE configuration is described to the user and interactive selection supports opting out. ## Public findings ### 1.
