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. When its runtime file-search capability is used without fd installed, the agent downloads a latest GitHub release and executes it. This is a real supply-chain execution surface but is not an install-time payload. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 80.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-12T11:50:37.262Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-12T11:53:36.787Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 19811 ms - **AI review time:** 159202 ms - **Total time:** 179525 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:** When its runtime file-search capability is used without fd installed, the agent downloads a latest GitHub release and executes it. This is a real supply-chain execution surface but is not an install-time payload. - **Trigger:** A runtime file-search operation when fd is unavailable. - **Impact:** A compromised selected upstream release could execute with the coding agent user's permissions. - **Evidence paths:** dist/utils/tools-manager.js, dist/core/tools/find.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-12T11:53:36.787Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Downloads, extracts, chmods, and spawns a GitHub release binary. - **Rationale:** Source inspection found no concrete malicious install hook, credential exfiltration, or hidden persistence. However, runtime download and execution of a latest upstream binary without an integrity check is a material unresolved remote-code-execution supply-chain risk. - **Files touched:** dist/utils/tools-manager.js, dist/core/tools/find.js - **Network endpoints:** api.github.com, github.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 80.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The package is a terminal coding agent and exposes a CLI/runtime entrypoint., At runtime it obtains the latest fd or ripgrep release from GitHub, extracts it, and marks the resulting executable runnable., The find tool invokes that downloader when fd is absent and then spawns the returned executable. - **Evidence against:** package.json contains no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook., The shared command helper disables shell interpretation., The prompt-template extension keeps its command tool disabled until the user explicitly enables it., No inspected source established credential theft, stealth persistence, or an unconsented install-time control-surface write. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @ashx-j/lunr@0.2.18. - Review the evidence and your use of @ashx-j/lunr@0.2.18 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.
