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. The scanner's exfiltration label overstates the observed flow: the token is sent to Anthropic's API rather than an unrelated endpoint. However, explicit installation creates a persistent Claude integration that reads credentials, so it warrants a warning under the extension-lifecycle policy. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-05T23:05:45.650Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-05T23:06:59.313Z - **Download time:** 758 ms - **Static scan time:** 9217 ms - **AI review time:** 63687 ms - **Total time:** 73663 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:** Explicit \`ss install\` configures Claude Code to run a deployed statusline every two seconds. The statusline reads the Claude OAuth token and calls Anthropic's usage endpoint, caching only usage data locally. - **Trigger:** User runs \`smartstack install\`/\`ss install\`, then Claude Code invokes the configured statusline. - **Impact:** A package-installed persistent Claude statusline gains access to the local Claude OAuth token and makes authenticated requests to Anthropic. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, dist/index.js, templates/scripts/statusline/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T23:06:59.313Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** First-party Claude extension setup with OAuth-token-backed usage polling. - **Rationale:** The scanner's exfiltration label overstates the observed flow: the token is sent to Anthropic's API rather than an unrelated endpoint. However, explicit installation creates a persistent Claude integration that reads credentials, so it warrants a warning under the extension-lifecycle policy. - **Files touched:** templates/scripts/statusline/index.js, ~/.claude/.credentials.json, ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.claude/scripts/statusline/index.js, ~/.claude/cache/smartstack-usage.json - **Network endpoints:** https://api.anthropic.com/api/oauth/usage ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** \`ss install\` deploys templates into \`~/.claude\` or \`./.claude\`., Install registers a recurring Claude \`statusLine\` command and PreToolUse hooks., The deployed statusline reads \`~/.claude/.credentials.json\` accessToken., It sends that bearer token to \`api.anthropic.com/api/oauth/usage\`., The npm postinstall only prints a Windows PATH hint. - **Evidence against:** Credential use is limited to Anthropic's documented-looking usage endpoint, not a package-controlled host., Statusline deployment and config mutation require explicit \`ss install\`; no lifecycle path reaches it., Installer preserves a foreign status line unless \`--force\` is supplied., No hidden payload download, eval, or unrelated credential receiver was found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @atlashub/smartstack-cli@5.10.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @atlashub/smartstack-cli@5.10.0 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.
