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:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-13T13:59:00.754Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-13T14:00:05.929Z - **Download time:** 511 ms - **Static scan time:** 4388 ms - **AI review time:** 60275 ms - **Total time:** 65175 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Explicit hook-install commands modify Codeium/Windsurf or Claude integration state and activate package-controlled hook processing. No unconsented AI-agent configuration mutation occurs during npm install. - **Trigger:** User runs claude-code-install-hook or windsurf-intellij-install-hook. - **Impact:** Hooked editors can execute latest-package code and send collected hook data to Mobb services. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, src/post\_install/cx\_install.mjs, src/post\_install/binary.mjs, dist/index.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-13T14:00:05.929Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Writes AI-editor hooks that invoke mobbdev and may run a detached daemon. - **Rationale:** The scanner's install-time hijack conclusion is not supported: postinstall only fetches a pinned Checkmarx binary. Explicit user-invoked editor hooks and daemon behavior warrant a warning as dangerous agent-extension capability. - **Files touched:** ~/.codeium/hooks.json, node\_modules/.bin/cx - **Network endpoints:** https://api.mobb.ai/v1/graphql, https://github.com/Checkmarx/ast-cli/releases/download/2.0.55/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** Explicit Windsurf setup writes a Mobb post-write hook to the user's ~/.codeium/hooks.json., The installed hook invokes a latest-version npx command and uploads hook data to the backend., Claude hook processing can spawn a detached background daemon. - **Evidence against:** postinstall only downloads a version-pinned Checkmarx CLI archive to node\_modules/.bin., No source shows postinstall modifying AI-agent configuration or harvesting credentials., Agent-hook installation is exposed as an explicit CLI command and authenticates first. ## Public findings ### 1.
