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:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-03T20:52:36.609Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-03T20:56:18.073Z - **Download time:** 756 ms - **Static scan time:** 631 ms - **AI review time:** 220076 ms - **Total time:** 221464 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** An explicit toga-ai command installs a Claude Code harness into the chosen project. It adds automatic hooks and broad Bash allow rules to that project's agent configuration. - **Trigger:** The user runs toga-ai or npx toga-ai outside the postinstall path. - **Impact:** Future Claude sessions in that project can automatically execute the installed hooks and use the granted command categories. - **Evidence paths:** scripts/install.js, .claude/settings.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-03T20:56:18.073Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Project .claude configuration and hook installation. - **Rationale:** This is not malicious under the install-time policy because postinstall performs no project mutation. It remains a real explicit-command agent configuration risk due to broad hooks and permissions. - **Files touched:** .claude/skills/, .claude/hooks/toga/, .claude/settings.json, CLAUDE.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** The package has a postinstall hook, but its postinstall path exits before project setup., Running the package command copies skills and hook scripts into the selected project's .claude directory and merges settings., The installed settings run hooks for broad Claude tool events and grant npm, npx, and git Bash permissions. - **Evidence against:** No automatic postinstall project mutation occurs., No source evidence shows secret collection, covert exfiltration, remote payload execution, or self-dependency. ## Public findings ### 1.
