Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Review flagged AI-agent configuration or capability changes. This remains warn-only unless evidence shows foreign-agent hijack through preinstall/install/postinstall, hidden persistence, exfiltration, remote code execution, or other concrete malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-05T13:19:25.652Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-05T13:20:19.652Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 847 ms - **AI review time:** 52642 ms - **Total time:** 54000 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:** No confirmed malicious attack chain. Residual risk is explicit user-command mutation of AI client MCP configs to register the package-owned aion server. - **Trigger:** User runs aion mcp install or aion mcp serve --register; CLI invocation also performs update check/migrations. - **Impact:** Warn-level AI agent capability/config mutation; no publish-blocking install-time hijack or exfiltration confirmed. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.js, dist/mcp/install.js, dist/cli/commands/mcp.js, dist/infra/update-check.js, dist/infra/db/migrations.js, dist/providers/cli-provider.js, dist/infra/embeddings.js, dist/infrastructure/rag/embeddings/providers.js, dist/infra/assist/remote-executor.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-05T13:20:19.652Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** user-invoked MCP client config registration plus provider/CLI integrations - **Rationale:** Static inspection does not support a malicious verdict because install-time behavior is a no-op and no credential exfiltration or hidden payload execution was found. Warn is appropriate for explicit user-command AI-agent config mutation and broad agent tooling capability. - **Files touched:** ~/.aion/update-check.json, ~/.ai-runtime/tasks, ~/.ai-runtime/evidence, ~/.ai-runtime/history, .cursor/mcp.json, ~/.claude/mcp.json, ~/.codex/config.toml, opencode.json - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org/@aionlabsai/aion/latest, https://api.voyageai.com/v1/embeddings, https://api.openai.com/v1/embeddings, https://api.cohere.com/v1/embed, https://openrouter.ai/api/v1/chat/completions, https://api.moonshot.ai/v1/chat/completions, https://api.minimax.io/v1/chat/completions ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** package.json defines postinstall, but it only reads package.json and exits 0., dist/mcp/install.js can write .cursor/mcp.json, ~/.claude/mcp.json, ~/.codex/config.toml, and opencode.json., dist/cli/commands/mcp.js exposes user-invoked mcp install/serve --register config mutation., dist/index.js runs update check and migrations on CLI invocation, not package install., dist/providers/cli-provider.js can spawn claude/codex with bounded args and reduced env., dist/infra/update-check.js fetches npm registry and can run npm install -g only after interactive update choice. - **Evidence against:** No install-time mutation of foreign AI-agent config found., No credential harvesting or exfiltration to attacker endpoint found., Embedding/provider API calls use matching env API keys as Authorization to provider endpoints., Remote executor is dry-run by default, requires yes, validates allowlisted commands, and uses shell:false., MCP config writes register this package's own aion server, not hidden third-party commands. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @aionlabsai/aion@1.0.2-alpha. - Review the evidence and your use of @aionlabsai/aion@1.0.2-alpha 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.
