Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. This is a high-impact explicit setup tool rather than a confirmed malicious package. Its agent-control, credential-persistence, and remote-access capabilities warrant a warning, while the absence of automatic lifecycle execution and observed covert exfiltration makes blocking disproportionate. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-29T16:57:31.255Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-29T16:58:52.951Z - **Download time:** 505 ms - **Static scan time:** 2120 ms - **AI review time:** 79069 ms - **Total time:** 81696 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** When explicitly run, the installer copies skills into Codex and Claude directories, registers an MCP server, and persists a Rainbond credential for shell use. Separate explicit SSH commands can provision remote key-based access. - **Trigger:** A user runs the rainskills command or installer and completes the requested setup. - **Impact:** The package gains a durable execution path in configured AI clients and changes user and remote SSH configuration after user-directed setup. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, install.sh, bin/rainskills.js, rainbond-platform-installer/scripts/ssh-key-setup.js, rainbond-platform-installer/scripts/telemetry.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-29T16:58:52.951Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Persistent agent configuration, credential setup, remote-key provisioning, and installation telemetry. - **Rationale:** This is a high-impact explicit setup tool rather than a confirmed malicious package. Its agent-control, credential-persistence, and remote-access capabilities warrant a warning, while the absence of automatic lifecycle execution and observed covert exfiltration makes blocking disproportionate. - **Files touched:** $HOME/.codex/config.toml, $HOME/.claude.json, $HOME/.rainbond/mcp.env, $HOME/.zshrc, $HOME/.bashrc, $HOME/.profile, $HOME/.ssh/id\_ed25519, $HOME/.ssh/authorized\_keys - **Network endpoints:** https://log.rainbond.com/api/rainskills/installations, https://log.rainbond.com/api/rainskills/lifecycle-events, https://registry.npmjs.org/rainskills/latest ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The installer directs AI assistants how to install it., A user-run installer adds a persistent Codex MCP entry that launches this package through npx., It writes a Rainbond JWT to a shell-loadable file and changes the user shell startup file., An explicit SSH preparation command creates a local key and adds its public key to a remote authorized-keys file., Installer telemetry is posted to Rainbond logging endpoints. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The risky configuration and SSH actions require explicit command execution and interactive or credential-gated setup., The installer backs up agent configuration before replacing its Rainbond entry., No source evidence showed secret harvesting, arbitrary remote payload execution, or destructive activity outside the selected setup paths. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to rainskills@0.1.5. - Review the evidence and your use of rainskills@0.1.5 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.
