Uninstall can erase Yaver authentication data. - **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. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, src/postinstall.js, src/agent-runtime.js, src/preuninstall.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-01T03:46:50.404Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **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. - **Files touched:** ~/.yaver/bin, /etc/sysctl.d/99-yaver-runner-sandbox.conf, ~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, ~/.profile, ~/.zshenv - **Network endpoints:** api.github.com, registry.npmjs.org, unpkg.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** A postinstall hook runs automatically after npm installation., On global installs it installs coding-runner packages and registers an MCP server in Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode without an explicit setup command., The hook downloads a release-selected native agent, makes it executable, and runs its install commands., When run as root, the hook installs operating-system packages and changes kernel sandbox settings., The uninstall hook automatically invokes a wipe that includes authentication data. - **Evidence against:** The package does not declare a runtime dependency on its own package name., The visible network code targets named package and release infrastructure rather than a secret-collection endpoint. ## Public findings ### 1.
