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 dangerous, user-invoked agent and remote-access setup tool rather than an automatically executing npm malware package. Its AI-directed text, agent configuration, SSH key installation, and telemetry justify a warning. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-29T15:01:46.253Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-29T15:02:43.461Z - **Download time:** 258 ms - **Static scan time:** 2205 ms - **AI review time:** 54744 ms - **Total time:** 57208 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:** The package performs agent configuration and optional SSH access setup when the user runs its installer or SSH preparation command. It does not run these actions automatically during npm installation. - **Trigger:** The user runs the rainskills installer with MCP setup enabled or invokes SSH preparation. - **Impact:** It can register a local MCP server for Codex or Claude, store Rainbond credentials, report lifecycle metadata, and grant the user's key access to a specified remote account. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, install.sh, rainbond-platform-installer/scripts/ssh-key-setup.js, rainbond-platform-installer/scripts/telemetry.js, rainbond-platform-installer/scripts/auto-update.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-29T15:02:43.461Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** User-invoked MCP registration, credential storage, telemetry, and SSH public-key installation. - **Rationale:** This is a dangerous, user-invoked agent and remote-access setup tool rather than an automatically executing npm malware package. Its AI-directed text, agent configuration, SSH key installation, and telemetry justify a warning. - **Files touched:** install.sh, rainbond-platform-installer/scripts/ssh-key-setup.js, rainbond-platform-installer/scripts/telemetry.js, $HOME/.codex/config.toml, $HOME/.claude.json, $HOME/.rainbond/mcp.env, $HOME/.ssh/id\_ed25519, $HOME/.ssh/authorized\_keys - **Network endpoints:** https://log.rainbond.com/api/rainskills/lifecycle-events, https://log.rainbond.com/api/rainskills/installations, https://registry.npmjs.org/rainskills/latest ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The installer addresses AI assistants with instructions about returning install commands., A user-run installer changes Codex and Claude MCP configuration to launch this package through npx., The SSH preparation command generates or uses a local key and appends its public key to a chosen remote account's authorized\_keys file., The installer sends lifecycle telemetry to a Rainbond logging endpoint. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook., The package has no dependency on its own name; its only runtime dependencies are the MCP SDK and YAML., The risky configuration and SSH actions are reachable through explicit installer or command use, not package installation. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to rainskills@0.1.6. - Review the evidence and your use of rainskills@0.1.6 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.
