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 confirms unguarded install-time deletion and replacement outside the package directory. No self-dependency chain, covert exfiltration, or other evidence establishes malicious intent, so the destructive capability warrants a warning. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-01T22:28:57.139Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-01T22:30:21.201Z - **Download time:** 1019 ms - **Static scan time:** 965 ms - **AI review time:** 82077 ms - **Total time:** 84062 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:** The automatic installer deletes and replaces content in an ancestor directory without verifying ownership. This creates a concrete data-loss risk, although inspected source does not establish malicious intent. - **Trigger:** npm installation with lifecycle scripts enabled. - **Impact:** Existing project files and directories can be irreversibly deleted or overwritten when installed outside the expected ActorJs layout. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, npm-post-install.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-01T22:30:21.201Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The postinstall hook uses fixed ancestor paths, recursive forced deletion, and file moves to deploy application content. - **Rationale:** Source confirms unguarded install-time deletion and replacement outside the package directory. No self-dependency chain, covert exfiltration, or other evidence establishes malicious intent, so the destructive capability warrants a warning. - **Files touched:** build, dist, temp, .vscode, project, workspace, settings.json, main.js, repos.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** package.json automatically loads npm-post-install.js after installation and declares no runtime dependencies., npm-post-install.js targets an ancestor three directories above the installed package., The installer recursively deletes build, dist, and temp without verifying ownership., The installer recursively removes destination files and directories before replacing them with package content., Automatic replacement includes .vscode, project, workspace, settings.json, main.js, and repos.json. - **Evidence against:** The installer is readable and implements ActorJs application deployment; no deliberate obfuscation or runtime self-dependency was found., The flagged Git handler reads configuration on request; inspected source did not establish credential exfiltration or AI-agent control hijacking. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @aj-shadow/actorjs-app@0.0.0-aj-beta.237. - Review the evidence and your use of @aj-shadow/actorjs-app@0.0.0-aj-beta.237 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.
