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. Source establishes unguarded destructive installation behavior that warrants a warning. The transparent application setup flow and absence of a self-dependency or concealed payload do not support a malware blocking verdict. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-01T22:27:45.883Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-01T22:28:53.473Z - **Download time:** 1019 ms - **Static scan time:** 1013 ms - **AI review time:** 65557 ms - **Total time:** 67590 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:** Automatic installation can delete and replace existing consumer project files. This establishes a destructive installation risk, but the readable ActorJs setup flow does not establish malicious intent. - **Trigger:** npm installation with lifecycle scripts enabled. - **Impact:** Existing project source, configuration, workspace files, and build outputs can be lost or overwritten. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, npm-post-install.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-01T22:28:53.473Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The postinstall script resolves destinations three levels above its directory, recursively removes existing paths, and moves packaged application files into their place without ownership checks. - **Rationale:** Source establishes unguarded destructive installation behavior that warrants a warning. The transparent application setup flow and absence of a self-dependency or concealed payload do not support a malware blocking verdict. - **Files touched:** build, dist, temp, project, workspace, .vscode, settings.json, main.js, README.md, repos.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** package.json automatically runs npm-post-install.js after installation., The installer targets a directory three levels above the package, which is the consumer root in a standard scoped npm installation., The installer recursively deletes build, dist, and temp without checking ownership., The active install chain deletes and replaces consumer paths including project, workspace, .vscode, settings.json, and main.js. - **Evidence against:** The installer is readable and its generated launchers start ActorJs; no deliberate obfuscation or runtime self-dependency was found., The flagged Git and test-suite handlers perform application-related configuration checks and test execution; inspected source did not establish credential exfiltration. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @aj-shadow/actorjs-app@0.0.0-aj-beta.236. - Review the evidence and your use of @aj-shadow/actorjs-app@0.0.0-aj-beta.236 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.
