No malicious data theft or remote-code chain was confirmed. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall runs during package installation. - **Impact:** It adds a browser automation extension without an explicit setup command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/setup-chrome-mcp.mjs, dist/cli.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-28T03:42:36.104Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic Chrome MCP bridge registration through a declared dependency. - **Rationale:** The automatic postinstall Chrome MCP registration is a real agent-extension lifecycle risk. Source inspection did not confirm a concrete malicious chain, so blocking is not justified. - **Files touched:** scripts/setup-chrome-mcp.mjs, dist/cli.js, ~/.local/state/mcp-chrome-bridge/logs ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** The postinstall lifecycle hook runs a Chrome MCP setup script automatically., The setup script invokes its bundled MCP bridge dependency with a register command for Chrome., The installed CLI exposes browser-control MCP tools, including page-context JavaScript execution. - **Evidence against:** The setup script only creates a log directory and delegates to its declared Chrome bridge dependency., No credential collection, exfiltration endpoint, remote payload download, or destructive action was confirmed in inspected package source., The package describes itself as a Claude Code-compatible terminal assistant, so browser MCP setup is package-aligned. ## Public findings ### 1.
