Setup registers this package as an MCP server and wires lifecycle hooks into foreign AI-agent configurations. - **Trigger:** npm global install with an existing .claude, .codex, .cursor, or Devin configuration - **Impact:** Changes agent control surfaces and causes later agent sessions to execute package hooks that ingest transcript and command-error content. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-11T16:49:31.424Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Postinstall-driven cross-agent MCP registration and hook injection - **Attack narrative:** On a qualifying global install, postinstall launches \`dist/index.js setup\` without an explicit user setup command. Setup adds npx-backed MCP entries to detected third-party agent configurations and injects commands at session and tool lifecycle events. Those hooks later capture agent transcript summaries and failed-command output into package storage. - **Rationale:** This is a concrete, unconsented postinstall mutation of broad foreign AI-agent control surfaces, not merely an explicit setup feature. Optional LLM networking is not needed for the blocking finding. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.js, dist/index.js, ~/.claude.json, ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.config/devin/mcp\_config.json, ~/.config/devin/config.json, ~/.cursor/mcp.json, ~/.codex/config.toml, ~/.local/share/tdai-memory-mcp/memory.db ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs postinstall automatically., scripts/postinstall.js runs setup on global installs when agent directories exist., dist/index.js setup edits Claude, Devin, Cursor, and Codex MCP configurations., dist/index.js installs Claude/Devin/Codex lifecycle hooks without user command., Hooks capture command errors and session transcripts into a local database. - **Evidence against:** No fixed non-local exfiltration endpoint was found., OpenAI-compatible requests require an explicit API key and configured command. ## Public findings ### 1.
