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. The automatic global Claude configuration change leaves a persistent, package-owned agent integration, so it warrants a warning. The inspected behavior does not establish a concrete attack requiring publication blocking. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-17T03:46:07.783Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-17T03:47:29.818Z - **Download time:** 756 ms - **Static scan time:** 160 ms - **AI review time:** 81118 ms - **Total time:** 82035 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 npm postinstall automatically adds Twintest skills and hook registrations to Claude configuration, including the user’s global settings. This leaves package-owned agent hooks installed without an affirmative consent check. - **Trigger:** Installing the package with npm runs its postinstall script. - **Impact:** Claude sessions may invoke the installed commands, creating persistent agent integration. The inspected hooks show no credential transfer or remote execution. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.cjs, hooks/winappdriver-session-guard.sh, hooks/commit-message-gate.sh, hooks/lib/twintest-activation.sh - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-17T03:47:29.818Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The script copies skills and hook files, then registers two Bash PreToolUse commands in the user’s global Claude settings. The hook installer has an opt-out environment variable; the hook code checks test or commit commands. - **Rationale:** The automatic global Claude configuration change leaves a persistent, package-owned agent integration, so it warrants a warning. The inspected behavior does not establish a concrete attack requiring publication blocking. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.cjs, hooks/winappdriver-session-guard.sh, hooks/commit-message-gate.sh, hooks/lib/twintest-activation.sh, ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.claude/hooks/, ~/.claude/skills/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package manifest runs scripts/postinstall.cjs after installation., The install script targets skills directories in both the consumer project and the user’s home directory., The script registers two package hooks for every Bash PreToolUse event in Claude settings., Hook installation has an environment-variable opt-out, but no affirmative consent check., The script reads and rewrites the user’s global Claude settings file to add hook registrations., The hook scripts use an activation helper and check test or commit commands; no data transfer or remote execution was identified in the inspected code. - **Evidence against:** The hooks are package-owned and limited to testing and commit-message checks., The inspected install and hook code contains no credential collection or network send. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to twintest@0.1.0. - Review the evidence and your use of twintest@0.1.0 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.
