A global npm install automatically installs third-party AI runners and registers Yaver MCP integrations without user confirmation. It also downloads and executes an external agent binary, and can alter host sandbox settings when root. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-24T21:24:24.763Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-24T21:25:10.363Z - **Download time:** 502 ms - **Static scan time:** 534 ms - **AI review time:** 44564 ms - **Total time:** 45600 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** A global npm install automatically installs third-party AI runners and registers Yaver MCP integrations without user confirmation. It also downloads and executes an external agent binary, and can alter host sandbox settings when root. - **Trigger:** npm global install of yaver-cli, unless opt-out environment variables are set - **Impact:** Unconsented mutation of broad AI-agent control surfaces and host configuration - **Evidence paths:** package.json, src/postinstall.js, src/agent-runtime.js, src/preuninstall.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-24T21:25:10.363Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall bootstrap installs AI clients, executes remote binary, and configures MCP - **Attack narrative:** On global installation, postinstall downloads and executes a Yaver release binary, installs missing Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode globally, then asks that binary to register Yaver MCP with each detected client. This occurs without an interactive consent step. Under root it can also install system packages and relax Linux user-namespace/AppArmor settings. - **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms an unconsented postinstall mutation of foreign, broad AI-agent control surfaces, which meets the blocking policy. The lifecycle hook additionally performs remote binary execution and privileged host configuration. - **Files touched:** src/postinstall.js, src/agent-runtime.js, ~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, ~/.profile, ~/.zshenv, /etc/sysctl.d/99-yaver-runner-sandbox.conf - **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 on installation., postinstall globally installs Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode when absent., postinstall invokes the downloaded Yaver agent to run mcp setup for those clients., postinstall downloads and executes a release binary from GitHub., As root, postinstall installs apt packages and writes /etc/sysctl.d/99-yaver-runner-sandbox.conf. - **Evidence against:** No credential harvesting or exfiltration is present in inspected JS., Preuninstall MCP removal is cleanup, not the blocking behavior. ## Public findings ### 1.
