A global npm install silently provisions and executes a remote agent, then registers Yaver MCP with existing AI coding clients. It can also install software, alter shell startup files, and modify host sandbox settings when privileged. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-23T10:58:11.824Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-23T10:59:08.167Z - **Download time:** 509 ms - **Static scan time:** 503 ms - **AI review time:** 55331 ms - **Total time:** 56343 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** A global npm install silently provisions and executes a remote agent, then registers Yaver MCP with existing AI coding clients. It can also install software, alter shell startup files, and modify host sandbox settings when privileged. - **Trigger:** npm install -g yaver-cli (unless opted out through YAVER\_SKIP\_POSTINSTALL variables) - **Impact:** Unconsented modification of Codex/Claude/OpenCode control surfaces and broad host persistence/configuration changes. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, src/postinstall.js, src/agent-runtime.js, src/preuninstall.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-23T10:59:08.167Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall remote binary execution and foreign AI-agent MCP configuration - **Attack narrative:** On global installation, the lifecycle hook fetches a latest GitHub release binary without a pinned checksum or signature and executes it. The same unattended hook installs AI runners if missing and invokes that downloaded agent to register Yaver MCP in existing Codex, Claude Code, and OpenCode configurations; privileged paths additionally change sysctl and install OS packages. - **Rationale:** This is concrete unconsented postinstall mutation of foreign AI-agent control surfaces, combined with remote binary execution and broad host changes. It meets the firewall block policy irrespective of the package's stated developer-tool purpose. - **Files touched:** src/postinstall.js, src/agent-runtime.js, /etc/sysctl.d/99-yaver-runner-sandbox.conf, ~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, ~/.profile, ~/.zshenv, ~/.yaver/bin/current - **Network endpoints:** https://api.github.com/repos/kivanccakmak/yaver.io/releases?per\_page=20, https://registry.npmjs.org/react-native/-/react-native-0.81.5.tgz, https://unpkg.com/react-native@0.81.5/react-native-0.81.5.tgz ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs src/postinstall.js automatically., Global postinstall downloads and executes an unverified GitHub-release agent., postinstall installs @openai/codex, Claude Code, and OpenCode when absent., postinstall invokes agent "mcp setup" for installed Codex/Claude/OpenCode., As root it writes /etc/sysctl.d and runs sysctl; it also runs apt installs., Postinstall edits shell rc files and restarts registered agent services. - **Evidence against:** Lifecycle actions are documented in source and gated to global installs., LAN HTTP usage is tied to explicit device push/discovery commands. ## Public findings ### 1.
