The package is a user-invoked launcher for a package-aligned CLI binary. - **Trigger:** An explicit apex CLI invocation. - **Impact:** The downloaded binary runs with the invoking user's permissions. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-09T12:20:01.132Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Downloads and runs a versioned GitHub release binary. - **Rationale:** This is a transparent, user-invoked CLI shim with no install-time execution or observed harvesting behavior. The unverified binary download is a supply-chain design weakness, but source inspection does not establish malicious intent or attack behavior. - **Network endpoints:** github.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes a user-invoked apex command., That command downloads release binaries from the configured GitHub repository, stores them under the user's .apex directory, and executes the downloaded binary. - **Evidence against:** The manifest has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The downloader runs only when the explicit CLI command is invoked., No source code harvests files or credentials, exfiltrates data, or uses eval-like execution., The remote endpoint is a repository release URL constructed from the package version. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @apexacc/cli@1.5.92. - Review the evidence and your use of @apexacc/cli@1.5.92 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.
