karajan-code@4.57.2

Local multi-agent coding orchestrator with TDD, SonarQube, and code review pipeline

AI Security Review

scanned 3d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The automatic user-wide MCP registration leaves a real agent-extension lifecycle risk, so a warning is appropriate. The inspected source does not support a malicious verdict or publication block.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

Installing the npm package runs its postinstall hook.

Impact

Later agent sessions can gain access to this package’s MCP tools without separate confirmation.

Mechanism

The hook writes a local stdio MCP server entry into the user-wide Claude and Codex configuration files; that server exposes tools to the agents.

AI rationale

The automatic user-wide MCP registration leaves a real agent-extension lifecycle risk, so a warning is appropriate. The inspected source does not support a malicious verdict or publication block.

Evidence

package.jsonscripts/postinstall.jssrc/mcp/server.js~/.claude.json~/.codex/config.toml

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 91.0% confidence as Dangerous Capability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

package.json runs scripts/postinstall.js automatically after installation.
The postinstall path calls both Claude and Codex setup functions without a consent check and writes their user-wide MCP configuration files.
The registered service is a local stdio MCP server that lists tools and handles tool calls; no external endpoint is established by this registration path.
Other inspected agent-related code covers explicit CLI setup, an init prompt, fixture setup, inventory or validation, and project-document reading; it does not remove the postinstall behavior.
