The explicit first-run/setup flow configures detected AI-agent MCP and invocation surfaces, and persists a FRAIM PATH entry. Explicit sync fetches registry content from the FRAIM service and writes it to FRAIM-managed locations. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-15T02:21:48.612Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-15T02:22:46.650Z - **Download time:** 505 ms - **Static scan time:** 4344 ms - **AI review time:** 53187 ms - **Total time:** 58038 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The explicit first-run/setup flow configures detected AI-agent MCP and invocation surfaces, and persists a FRAIM PATH entry. Explicit sync fetches registry content from the FRAIM service and writes it to FRAIM-managed locations. - **Trigger:** User runs and completes FRAIM first-run/setup or invokes sync. - **Impact:** Can alter detected AI-agent configuration and make remote FRAIM content available as local scripts; no npm lifecycle-triggered mutation was found. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, bin/fraim.js, dist/src/first-run/session-service.js, dist/src/cli/setup/ide-global-integration.js, dist/src/cli/setup/auto-mcp-setup.js, dist/src/cli/utils/remote-sync.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-15T02:22:46.650Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** AI-agent extension setup, shell PATH persistence, and authenticated remote-content sync. - **Rationale:** This is a user-invoked first-party AI-agent extension setup with persistence and remote sync, not concrete install-time malware. It warrants a warning because it modifies multiple agent control surfaces and can stage remotely supplied scripts. - **Files touched:** ~/.zshrc, ~/.bash\_profile, ~/.bashrc, ~/.claude/skills/fraim/SKILL.md, ~/.claude/commands/fraim.md, ~/.codex/skills/fraim/SKILL.md, ~/.fraim/scripts/ - **Network endpoints:** https://fraim.wellnessatwork.me/api/registry/sync ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** First-run configuration automatically adds MCP servers to detected AI IDEs and installs global agent skills/commands., First-run persists a FRAIM binary PATH stanza to shell profiles., A user-invoked sync downloads authenticated registry content and writes scripts under the user FRAIM directory. - **Evidence against:** package.json contains no lifecycle scripts., Entrypoints only load the CLI when explicitly run; no install-time execution was found., Agent artifacts are guarded by detected config directories and preserve existing files. ## Public findings ### 1.
