Repo Forensics — plugin by alexgreensh

Repo Forensics provides a comprehensive security audit for AI skills, repositories, and MCP servers.

That MCP server with 500 downloads. The Claude Code skill someone linked in Discord. The ClawHub extension your OpenClaw agent auto-installed. The npm package Cursor added to your lockfile. The Codex plugin you grabbed from GitHub.

Did you vet any of them?

Nobody does. The vetting step doesn't exist. 1,184 malicious skills found on ClawHub in one campaign. 36.8% of agent skills have security flaws. You find something useful, you install it. It runs with your credentials, your file access, your session context. If it's designed to exfiltrate data, it does it quietly while you're using it for something else entirely.

You won't feel it. There are no symptoms.

Repo Forensics is the vetting step. Audit any repo, skill, MCP server, or plugin before it touches your machine. Works across the AI agent ecosystem: Claude Code, OpenClaw, Codex, Cursor, NanoClaw, or anything that installs third-party code. 18 scanners, runtime behavior prediction, ClawHavoc campaign detection. Nothing phones home. Runs in seconds.

It doesn't stop at install. Every git pull, npm update, gem update, brew upgrade, and plugin update is monitored too. Known-malicious packages are blocked before the command even runs. A clean install today doesn't mean a clean update tomorrow — repo-forensics watches both.

Already installed something you're not sure about? Run it on your existing projects too. The post-incident scanner checks npm cache, install logs, node_modules, and your machine for traces of known supply chain attacks (axios RAT, liteLLM .pth injection, SANDWORM campaign) even after the malware has cleaned up after itself.

What It Finds

How It Works

Point it at any repository. 18 scanners run in parallel, each checking a different attack surface. The correlation engine then cross-references findings across 18 rules to detect compound threats that no single scanner would catch (like dynamic import + network fetch = deferred payload loading).

The result is a severity-ranked verdict with exit codes designed for CI/CD gating.

Quick Start

git clone https://github.com/alexgreensh/repo-forensics.git
cd repo-forensics
./skills/repo-forensics/scripts/run_forensics.sh /path/to/repo

No pip install. No API keys. No Docker. No dependencies.

Installed via Claude Code plugin marketplace? Please enable auto-update after installing. Claude Code ships third-party marketplaces with auto-update off by default, and plugin authors cannot change that default. So you will not get new scanners, updated IOCs, or critical detection fixes automatically unless you turn it on. In Claude Code: /plugin → Marketplaces tab → select your repo-forensics marketplace → Enable auto-update. One-time, ten seconds, and your security scanner stays current with the threat landscape. If you installed via git clone instead, you are already on the fast path — git pull when you want fresh IOCs, or run --update-iocs to refresh just the indicator set.

# Focused AI skill/MCP scan (9 scanners, faster)
./skills/repo-forensics/scripts/run_forensics.sh /path/to/skill --skill-scan

# Track file integrity between scans
./skills/repo-forensics/scripts/run_forensics.sh /path/to/repo --watch

# Pull latest threat indicators before scanning
./skills/repo-forensics/scripts/run_forensics.sh /path/to/repo --update-iocs

# CI/CD machine-readable output

# Verify your own installation hasn't been tampered with
./skills/repo-forensics/scripts/run_forensics.sh /path/to/repo --verify-install

Scan Your Own Projects

Already have projects installed? Run repo-forensics on your existing codebase to check for compromised dependencies, supply chain artifacts, and post-incident traces.

# Scan a single project
./skills/repo-forensics/scripts/run_forensics.sh ~/my-app

# Scan your entire projects folder
./skills/repo-forensics/scripts/run_forensics.sh ~/Projects

# Check if you were hit by the axios attack (March 31, 2026)
# or liteLLM .pth injection, or any SANDWORM campaign package
./skills/repo-forensics/scripts/run_forensics.sh ~/Projects

The post-incident scanner automatically checks:

node_modules for known malicious package directories (even after dropper self-cleanup)
npm cache (~/.npm/_cacache/) for cached compromised tarballs
npm install logs (~/.npm/_logs/) for references to compromised packages or C2 domains
Host artifacts: RAT binaries, LaunchAgent/LaunchDaemon persistence (macOS)

This catches attacks that designed to evade detection. The axios dropper deletes itself and rewrites package.json to hide its tracks, but the npm cache and node_modules directory survive.

Forensify — Audit Your Agent Stack (v2.5)

repo-forensics scans code you're about to install. forensify scans what you've already installed and forgot about.

Over time you accumulate skills, MCP servers, hooks, plugins, commands, and credentials across every agent framework you use. Nobody keeps track. That credential file from three months ago is still world-readable. That hook script symlinks to a directory outside your stack. Two of your ecosystems have a known bug where one silently overwrites the other's OAuth tokens.

Point forensify at your global stack, a specific project, or any directory with agent configs. It tells you what's there, what's exposed, and what to fix.

# What's accumulated across all my agent stacks?
./skills/repo-forensics/scripts/run_forensics.sh --inventory

# Which ecosystems do I have installed?
./skills/repo-forensics/scripts/run_forensics.sh --inventory --list-ecosystems

# Audit a specific project's agent surface
./skills/repo-forensics/scripts/run_forensics.sh --inventory --target /path/to/my-project

# Audit only my Codex setup
./skills/repo-forensics/scripts/run_forensics.sh --inventory --target ~/.codex

What it audits

Four ecosystems — Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenClaw, NanoClaw. Auto-detected from your machine, no configuration needed.

Installed skills and plugins — Every skill and plugin across all detected ecosystems is inspected for prompt injection attacks (HTML comment injection, frontmatter poisoning), suspicious tool definitions (schema poisoning, exfiltration URLs), manifest drift between installed and declared versions, and cross-ecosystem name collisions where the same skill exists in multiple stacks with different code.

MCP server configs — Registered MCP servers are checked for tool poisoning patterns, overly broad permissions, and rug-pull enablers (servers that could silently change behavior after initial trust).

Hooks and auto-execution — Hook scripts are inspected for symlinks targeting directories outside the agent stack, permission anomalies (world-writable hook scripts), and unexpected execution chains.

Project-scope scanning — Point --target at any project directory and forensify finds project-level agent configs: .claude/ settings and commands, CLAUDE.md, .mcp.json, .agents/, .env, hooks, skills. The stuff people set up quickly during a sprint and never revisit.

Ten surface categories — Skills, commands, agents, memory files, brain files, hooks, MCP servers, plugins, settings, credentials. Each with file metadata: permissions, modification times, symlink targets, sizes.

Credential permission auditing — World-readable .env files and API key stores surface as findings. For Codex auth.json, forensify reports auth mode (apiKey vs OAuth), token staleness, and file permissions without ever reading the actual token values.

Cross-ecosystem intelligence — Findings that only exist when multiple stacks coexist on the same machine. The openai/codex#54506 credential overwrite bug fires when both Codex and OpenClaw are detected. AGENTS.md conflicts across stacks are surfaced. Same skill name in multiple ecosystems with different versions triggers a drift warning.

What it doesn't do

Forensify is read-only. It doesn't fix, patch, or quarantine anything. It doesn't scan external code before install (that's repo-forensics' job). It doesn't read credential values, only file metadata. It's the X-ray, not the surgery.

Auto-Scan Hook (v2)

v2 adds a PostToolUse hook that automatically scans when you install or clone anything. No manual invocation needed.

What triggers it:

git clone, git pull, pip install, npm install/update, yarn add, gem install/update, cargo install, go get/install, brew install/upgrade, openclaw install/update, clawhub install/publish
curl ... | sh or wget ... | sh (instant CRITICAL, no scan needed)

What it does:

Detects install/clone/update commands in Bash tool calls (<10ms for non-matching commands)
Checks package names against the IOC database (known malicious packages)
For cloned repos: runs 6 targeted scanners in parallel (dependencies, secrets, lifecycle, skill_threats, manifest_drift, runtime_dynamism)
For git pull: scans CWD for threats introduced by the update
Returns findings as inline context in Claude Code

Pre-Execution Gate (v2.6)

A PreToolUse hook blocks known-malicious packages and pipe-to-shell commands before the command runs:

IOC-only: Checks package names against the IOC database. No full scans, no subprocess calls.
<10ms latency: Fast path for non-matching commands. IOC matches <200ms.
Graceful degradation: Missing IOC database → approve. Never silently blocks legitimate work.
Exit codes: 0 = approve, 2 = block (Claude Code convention).

Setup as a plugin:

# From the repo-forensics directory:
ln -s $(pwd) ~/.claude/plugins/repo-forensics

The hook fires automatically on every Bash command. Non-matching commands exit in <10ms with zero overhead.

Session Security Scanner (v2.6.4)

A SessionStart hook that detects changes to plugins, skills, and MCP servers between sessions:

Change detection: Compares SHA256 checksums against a cached baseline. Only scans what actually changed.
Two-tier scan: Fast IOC check (milliseconds) + full 18-scanner deep scan on changed items (catches zero-day supply chain attacks, obfuscated code, C2 beaconing, manifest drift).
Threat database refresh: Updates IOC and CISA KEV databases once per day (2-5s). Uses stale caches gracefully if offline.
Sub-1ms common case: When nothing changed (99% of sessions), the scanner exits in <1ms.
Kill switch: Set REPO_FORENSICS_SESSION_SCAN=0 to disable.

Scenario	Latency
Nothing changed	0.9ms
1 plugin changed (fast IOC)	1.3ms
1 plugin changed (+ deep scan)	2-10s
Daily threat DB refresh	+2-5s
Kill switch	0.02ms

As a Claude Code Skill

The skills/repo-forensics/ directory is a self-contained Claude Code skill. A legacy skill/ symlink is preserved for existing installs; new usage should reference the canonical skills/repo-forensics/ path.

ln -s $(pwd)/repo-forensics/skills/repo-forensics ~/.claude/skills/repo-forensics

Then just ask:

"Audit this repo before I add it as a dependency"

"Is this MCP server safe to use?"

"Run forensics on ~/Downloads/new-plugin"

OpenClaw / ClawHub / NanoClaw

Scan any skill from ClawHub or the OpenClaw ecosystem before installing:

./skills/repo-forensics/scripts/run_forensics.sh ~/downloads/suspicious-skill --skill-scan

Auto-detects OpenClaw skills (SKILL.md frontmatter, tools.json, SOUL.md) and runs targeted checks:

Frontmatter validation: missing author, overly broad triggers, description injection
tools.json Full-Schema Poisoning: hidden instructions in tool definitions and input schemas
Agent config injection: prompt injection in SOUL.md, AGENTS.md, memory files
ClawHavoc campaign IOCs: known C2 IPs, AMOS stealer delivery patterns, malicious authors
.clawhubignore bypass: patterns that hide malicious code from ClawHub's own scanner

Highlights

Feature	What It Does
DAST scanner	Executes hook scripts with 8 malicious payloads in a sandbox. Detects env leaks, timeouts, command injection, path traversal.
File integrity monitor	SHA256 baselines for `.claude/settings.json`, `CLAUDE.md`, hook scripts. `--watch` detects unauthorized changes between scans.
IOC auto-update	`--update-iocs` pulls latest C2 IPs, malicious domains, and known-bad packages from a hosted feed. Falls back to hardcoded IOCs offline.
Installation verification	`--verify-install` checks that repo-forensics itself hasn't been tampered with (checksums.json).
GitHub Action	`action.yml` for CI/CD integration with exit code gating.
Runtime behavior prediction	Detects code that will change behavior after install: time bombs, dynamic imports, fetch-then-execute, self-modification, rug pull enablers.
Manifest drift detection	Compares declared dependencies vs actual imports. Catches phantom deps, runtime installs, and conditional import+install fallbacks.
699 pytest tests	Full test coverage across 17 test files with fixture repos containing known vulnerabilities.
Shared core	Duplicated `scan_patterns()` extracted to `forensics_core.py`. Silent exceptions replaced with structured findings.
OpenClaw/ClawHub scanning	Auto-detects OpenClaw skills and checks frontmatter, tools.json, SOUL.md, .clawhubignore for ClawHavoc patterns and Full-Schema Poisoning.

Correlation Engine

Individual findings are useful. Compound findings are devastating. The correlation engine connects dots across scanners with 18 rules:

Pattern	Finding	Severity
env/credential read + network POST	Data Exfiltration	critical
base64 encoding + exec/eval	Obfuscated Code Execution	critical
prompt injection + code execution	Prompt-Assisted RCE	critical
lifecycle hook + network call	Install-Time Theft	critical
SQL injection + MCP tool code	SQL Prompt Escalation	critical
tool metadata poisoning + exec	Tool Poisoning Chain	critical
unicode smuggling + prompt injection	Hidden Instruction Attack	high
sensitive file read + network call	Credential Theft	high
dynamic import + network fetch	Deferred Payload Loading	critical
time/counter trigger + exec/eval	Time-Triggered Malware	critical
dynamic tool description + MCP server	MCP Rug Pull Enabler	high
phantom dependency + network call	Shadow Dependency with Network	critical
pipe exfiltration + network sink	Shell Script Data Exfiltration Chain	critical
tools.json poisoning + prompt injection	Agent Skill Compound Attack	critical
.pth file + base64/exec	Python Startup Injection (liteLLM-style)	critical
.pth file + known IOC	Known Supply Chain .pth Attack	critical
git dependency + lifecycle hook	Git Dependency with Lifecycle Hook	high
missing integrity + untrusted URL	Lockfile Tampering Indicator	critical

Runtime Behavior Prediction

The #1 gap in AI agent security: code that passes static analysis at install time but changes behavior at runtime. Repello AI showed tool poisoning succeeds 72.8% of the time. The runtime_dynamism and manifest_drift scanners close this gap.

Attack	How It Works	Scanner Detection
MCP rug pull	Tool description sourced from database or API, changed after approval	Dynamic description from `db.query()`, `requests.get()`, `os.environ`
Time bomb	Malicious code activates after a hardcoded date or invocation count	`datetime.now() > datetime(2026,6,1)`, unix timestamp comparisons
Deferred payload	Downloads and executes code at runtime, not at install	`requests.get(url).text` piped to `eval()`, runtime `pip install`
Self-modification	Constructs executable code from bytecode or rewrites own source	`types.CodeType()`, `marshal.loads()`, `open(__file__, 'w')`
Phantom dependency	Code imports modules not declared in manifest	`import evil_helper` with no entry in `requirements.txt`
Conditional install	`try: import X except: os.system("pip install X")`	AST detection of try/except import with install fallback

Research basis: CVE-2026-2297 (SourcelessFileLoader), PylangGhost RAT (March 2026), Socket.dev NuGet time bombs (Nov 2025), Check Point MCP rug pull (Feb 2026), OWASP MCP03/MCP07.

Why Not the Alternatives?

Tool	What It Does	Gap
Gitleaks / TruffleHog	Secrets scanning	Secrets only. No prompt injection, MCP attacks, taint tracking, or supply chain.
Semgrep	Static analysis with rules	Requires config. Not AI-skill-aware. No MCP, no unicode smuggling, no DAST.
`mcp-scan`	MCP server audit	Uploads your code to a cloud API.
GuardDog	Python package scanning	Python only. No MCP, no skills, no source-level analysis.
ClawSec	OpenClaw security suite	8 external dependencies. Wrapper around semgrep/bandit. No correlation engine.
VirusTotal + ClawHub	ClawHub signature scanning	Surface-level. Signature-based, not structural. No prompt injection detection, no taint tracking.
Manual review	Reading code	Misses zero-width unicode, cross-file taint flows, tool description injection.

repo-forensics: 18 scanners. Zero dependencies. Fully offline. Runtime behavior prediction. Post-incident forensics. Built for the AI agent ecosystem.

CVE + CISA KEV Auto-Enrichment (v2.6)

The scanner automatically knows the latest CVEs and actively-exploited vulnerabilities. No manual database, no API keys, no phoning home beyond two public feeds.

OSV (Open Source Vulnerabilities): Every pinned (ecosystem, package, version) seen in a manifest or lockfile is queried against api.osv.dev. Matches emit a cve finding with CVSS-mapped severity and suggested fix versions.
CISA KEV (Known Exploited Vulnerabilities): CVE aliases are cross-referenced against the CISA KEV catalog — CVEs confirmed actively exploited in the wild. Any match is escalated to CRITICAL (category cve-kev) regardless of CVSS, because in-the-wild exploitation is the strongest prioritization signal.
Caches: KEV catalog cached 24h (~/.cache/repo-forensics/kev.json). Per-package OSV queries cached 24h (LRU-capped, mode 0o600, atomic writes).
Offline: --offline uses cached data only. --no-vulns disables the feature. --update-vulns refreshes the KEV catalog before scanning.
Hardening: Hardcoded feed URLs (no SSRF surface), HTTPS-only, response size caps, fail-closed CVE regex, log-injection sanitizer for untrusted summaries, PEP 503 canonical package names, short-TTL negative cache to prevent retry storms.

# Standalone package check
python3 skills/repo-forensics/scripts/vuln_feed.py --query npm lodash 4.17.20

# Full scan with fresh KEV data
./skills/repo-forensics/scripts/run_forensics.sh /path/to/repo --update-vulns
