User commands can then run a full agent harness with credentials, shell execution, chat channels, a Chrome debugger relay, and OS service install. No hidden exfil receiver was shown, but this dual-use surface is real and the large minified dist was not fully analyzed. - **Trigger:** npm install runs postinstall; later user actions such as johnness onboard, gateway start, update, or loading the Chrome extension expand the surface. - **Impact:** Installed plugin and vendor files are rewritten; if the user enables gateway, update, or the browser relay, the runtime can persist a service, reinstall the package, and use API keys or attached browser tabs. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/migrate-plugin-adapters.js, assets/chrome-extension/manifest.json, assets/chrome-extension/background.js, dist/reply-C5LKjXcC.js, dist/daemon-install-plan.shared-6BfiTrDp.js, dist/update-cli-Cm\_l3W29.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-17T00:03:21.219Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** first-party install-time plugin and dependency patching plus dual-use agent runtime - **Rationale:** This is an OpenClaw-derived agent harness whose postinstall rewrites first-party pinned plugins rather than foreign agent configs, and inspected traffic goes to documented product endpoints. The install-time mutation, Chrome debugger relay, credentialed agent runtime, and incomplete analysis of a huge minified dist are dual-use risk that cannot be marked clean. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.mjs, vendor/patched-deps/, dist/migrate-plugin-adapters.js, assets/chrome-extension/background.js, assets/chrome-extension/manifest.json - **Network endpoints:** http://127.0.0.1, http://localhost, https://api.openai.com, https://api.elevenlabs.io, https://api.anthropic.com, https://api.telegram.org, https://discord.com, https://app.memoryrouter.ai ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 74.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** Automatic postinstall overwrites files in version-pinned dependencies and rewrites the installed mr-memory plugin in place., The shipped Chrome extension asks for debugger access and will fetch a URL supplied by the options page against a local relay., Runtime reads provider API keys from config and environment and uses them against third-party model and chat APIs., Daemon and update CLIs can install LaunchAgents or systemd units and reinstall johns-harness when those commands are run., The published dist tree is huge and minified, and scanner coverage of it was incomplete, so a hidden payload cannot be ruled out from this review. - **Evidence against:** postinstall is limited to version-checked vendor snapshots and the mr-memory package directory; it states it does not migrate HOME during npm install., package.json does not depend on another johns-harness release, so there is no install-time self-dependency chain., Chrome host permissions are limited to 127.0.0.1 and localhost, and persistence or /update reinstalls require user or owner CLI actions., Inspected network hosts are documented LLM, chat, and product endpoints rather than a hidden receiver. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to johns-harness@2026.9.28. - Review the evidence and your use of johns-harness@2026.9.28 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.
