yaver-cli@1.99.432

Unified npm bootstrap for the Yaver agent, SDK injection, and local-first developer runtime

AI Security Review

scanned 3h ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

A global npm postinstall silently provisions additional AI coding runners, registers an MCP integration in installed third-party agents, downloads and runs a native agent, and can alter host configuration. Uninstall can erase Yaver authentication data.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; source fingerprint signature matched known malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

Installing the package globally; uninstalling it triggers the wipe.

Impact

It can modify AI-agent control surfaces, install software, execute a remotely supplied binary, weaken Linux sandbox settings, and remove local authentication state.

Mechanism

Automatic agent provisioning, MCP registration, remote binary execution, and host configuration mutation.

Attack narrative

The package executes postinstall automatically. For global installations it obtains and executes a release-selected native agent, installs coding-runner packages if none exist, and asks that agent to register Yaver MCP entries in Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode. The same automatic path can install system packages and write a sysctl configuration as root. Its preuninstall hook invokes a wipe including authentication data. These changes occur without an explicit user setup command.

Rationale

This is an unconsented install-time chain that mutates broad third-party AI-agent control surfaces and host configuration while executing a remotely obtained binary. The combination meets the install-hook-abuse blocking boundary.
