Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The flagged credential and network flows are tied to user-invoked CLI features and send credentials to the corresponding configured service. Self-host registration reports deployment metadata to Auspex, is disclosed, and can be disabled. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-01T10:39:22.746Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-01T10:40:03.518Z - **Download time:** 511 ms - **Static scan time:** 362 ms - **AI review time:** 39899 ms - **Total time:** 40772 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:** No attack was identified. Network and credential use serves the CLI's login, self-host deployment and image-copy functions. - **Trigger:** The CLI runs when a user invokes a command; self-host registration occurs during \`auspex selfhost up\`. - **Impact:** No unauthorized collection or action was found in the reviewed flows. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T10:40:03.518Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** It sends Auspex session requests to the configured Auspex server, uses Google OAuth endpoints for login, and uses gcloud credentials to copy images to the user-selected registry. - **Rationale:** The flagged credential and network flows are tied to user-invoked CLI features and send credentials to the corresponding configured service. Self-host registration reports deployment metadata to Auspex, is disclosed, and can be disabled. - **Files touched:** $XDG\_CONFIG\_HOME/auspex/credentials.json, $XDG\_CONFIG\_HOME/auspex/selfhost-credentials.json - **Network endpoints:** app.auspex.blue, accounts.google.com, oauth2.googleapis.com, REGION-docker.pkg.dev, run.googleapis.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes a CLI entry point and declares no install lifecycle scripts., Self-host registration runs from the explicit \`selfhost up\` command and sends deployment metadata to the server saved at login., Registration uses the Auspex session token for that configured server; usage reporting can be disabled with \`AUSPEX\_USAGE\_REPORTING=off\`., The Google login flow sends its authorization code and refresh-token request to Google's OAuth endpoints. - **Evidence against:** The scanner flags credential transmission, shell execution and \`run.googleapis.com\`, but reviewed flows use credentials for their intended Auspex, Google or user-selected registry services., The new registration reports image version, organization name, service-account email and app URL; the CLI discloses the organization name prompt and offers an opt-out. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @auspex-ai/cli@0.3.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @auspex-ai/cli@0.3.0 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.
