It downloads and executes a remote agent binary to perform the setup. - **Trigger:** npm install -g yaver-cli - **Impact:** Unconsented mutation of Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode control surfaces; remote binary execution and host configuration changes. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, src/postinstall.js, src/agent-runtime.js, src/hermesc-runtime.js, src/preuninstall.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-26T17:42:22.295Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall runner installation and foreign MCP configuration - **Attack narrative:** On global installation, the lifecycle hook downloads and executes a Yaver agent, installs missing Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode packages, then invokes that agent to register Yaver MCP for each detected runner. This occurs without an explicit user setup command. The same hook modifies shell startup files, may install system packages, and when root writes sysctl settings. - **Rationale:** This is concrete unconsented postinstall mutation of foreign AI-agent control surfaces, which meets the blocking policy. Remote binary execution and additional host mutations increase impact. - **Files touched:** src/postinstall.js, src/agent-runtime.js, ~/.yaver/bin, ~/.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 automatically on install., src/postinstall.js globally installs missing Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode CLIs., src/postinstall.js invokes downloaded agent command mcp setup for each detected third-party runner., src/agent-runtime.js downloads and executes a release binary without a cryptographic digest/signature check., src/postinstall.js writes shell startup files and can alter /etc/sysctl.d as root. - **Evidence against:** Postinstall limits its main bootstrap path to global installs., Opt-out environment variables exist., Reviewed JS contains no direct credential harvesting or explicit data exfiltration. ## Public findings ### 1.
