That script writes a Warp MCP server entry into Claude Desktop configuration paths across supported platforms. This is unconsented install-time mutation of a foreign AI-agent control surface, enabling the package to be launched by Claude Desktop. - **Rationale:** The automatic lifecycle hook performs concrete cross-platform Claude Desktop configuration mutation. This meets the install-hook abuse blocking policy. - **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The package declares an automatic postinstall lifecycle hook., The postinstall script targets Claude Desktop configuration locations on macOS, Windows, and Linux., The hook creates or updates a Warp MCP server entry and writes the Claude configuration file. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to warp-agent-mcp@0.20.1. - Avoid installing warp-agent-mcp@0.20.1. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
