Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: manual review; recommendation: manual review. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Inspected source did not establish a confirmed attack. The postinstall hook only installs dependencies under the package mcp directory, and the sampled agent routes write a fixed set of workspace markdown files. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 58.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-27T16:01:24.782Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-27T16:03:03.885Z - **Download time:** 1289 ms - **Static scan time:** 9470 ms - **AI review time:** 88343 ms - **Total time:** 99103 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Inspected source did not establish a confirmed attack. The postinstall hook only installs dependencies under the package mcp directory, and the sampled agent routes write a fixed set of workspace markdown files. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall, or later explicit gateway and API use. - **Impact:** No confirmed compromise. Remaining required files were not fully cited, so absence of risk across the whole bundle is not closed. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-27T16:03:03.885Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall runs bun install in mcp; agent routes create or edit allowlisted workspace markdown. No separate exfiltration or remote payload path was confirmed in the inspected files. - **Rationale:** The inspected lifecycle and agent paths look like a package-local MCP dependency install and a gateway workspace editor, not a concrete attack. A clean verdict still cannot be issued because the required citation list is larger than the citation limit. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 58.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** The only install lifecycle script is postinstall, and it runs bun install inside the packaged mcp directory when bun is present., Dependencies do not include this package name, and there is no preinstall or install script., Workspace markdown writes are limited to a fixed filename allowlist., A clean verdict needs citations for 18 required paths, which exceeds the eight-citation limit, so coverage cannot be closed. - **Evidence against:** No self-dependency, obfuscated payload, or unconsented write to a foreign agent control surface was found in the inspected entry and agent paths., Observed network hosts are ordinary channel and model APIs used by the gateway product. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @0xmaxma/claude-gateway@2.0.9. - Review the evidence and your use of @0xmaxma/claude-gateway@2.0.9 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
