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:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-15T18:17:18.773Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-15T18:18:43.571Z - **Download time:** 517 ms - **Static scan time:** 1667 ms - **AI review time:** 82612 ms - **Total time:** 84798 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** No foreign agent configuration is changed by npm postinstall. An explicit \`slm init --auto\` can automatically add Claude Code hooks when a Claude directory exists; explicit commands can also configure Codex hooks. - **Trigger:** User runs \`slm init --auto\` or an explicit hook/connect command. - **Impact:** Future agent sessions may invoke SLM commands and process session context. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, src/superlocalmemory/cli/commands.py, src/superlocalmemory/hooks/claude\_code\_hooks.py, src/superlocalmemory/hooks/codex\_hooks.py, src/superlocalmemory/hooks/portable\_kit.py - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-15T18:18:43.571Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Persistent AI-agent lifecycle-hook and MCP configuration mutation. - **Rationale:** Source does not establish malicious install-time behavior, credential theft, remote payload execution, or unconsented broad control-surface mutation. The explicit setup path nevertheless automatically installs hooks into an existing Claude environment, so it warrants a warning under the stated policy. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.js, .slm-venv, ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.codex/hooks.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** \`slm init --auto\` installs Claude hooks when ~/.claude exists., Hook installer writes Claude settings and registers SLM lifecycle commands., Codex hook support persistently alters ~/.codex/hooks.json when explicitly invoked. - **Evidence against:** npm postinstall creates a package-owned virtualenv and installs only the local package., No lifecycle source writes IDE or agent configuration during npm installation., IDE MCP configuration is reached through explicit CLI commands and preserves non-SLM entries., Remote reranking uses an operator-supplied endpoint and redacts request text. ## Public findings ### 1.
