This remains warn-only unless evidence shows foreign-agent hijack through preinstall/install/postinstall, hidden persistence, exfiltration, remote code execution, or other concrete malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-06T17:09:08.001Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-06T17:10:04.435Z - **Download time:** 260 ms - **Static scan time:** 3089 ms - **AI review time:** 53084 ms - **Total time:** 56434 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Install-time code fetches and extracts a remote scanner binary. Explicit agent-integration commands install persistent hooks that collect Claude transcript/context data and upload it to the package service. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall; separately, explicit Claude Code or Windsurf hook-install commands. - **Impact:** Supply-chain exposure from an unchecked binary download; opt-in persistent collection and upload of AI-agent/workspace data. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, src/post\_install/cx\_install.mjs, src/post\_install/binary.mjs, dist/index.mjs, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-06T17:10:04.435Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** remote binary installation and opt-in AI-agent hook/data-collection daemon - **Rationale:** Source confirms risky remote binary acquisition and explicit persistent AI-agent data-collection hooks. The absence of unconsented agent-control-surface mutation during postinstall supports a warning rather than a block. - **Files touched:** src/post\_install/cx\_install.mjs, src/post\_install/binary.mjs, node\_modules/.bin/cx, ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.codeium/hooks.json, ~/.mobbdev/daemon-check.js, ~/.mobbdev/daemon.pid - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/Checkmarx/ast-cli/releases/download/2.0.55/, https://api.mobb.ai/v1/graphql, https://api.mobb.ai/api/rest/mcp/track ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json postinstall runs src/post\_install/cx\_install.mjs., Postinstall downloads an unsigned Checkmarx archive and extracts cx into node\_modules/.bin., dist/index.mjs explicit Claude/Windsurf setup commands write agent hook configurations., Claude hook daemon reads Claude transcripts and uploads context files/skills via authenticated API/S3 URLs. - **Evidence against:** Agent-hook writes require explicit claude-code-install-hook or windsurf-intellij-install-hook commands and authentication., No postinstall code mutates AI-agent configuration., Postinstall source only downloads a fixed Checkmarx release; it does not execute it. ## Public findings ### 1.
