Installation invokes AIB runtime provisioning and a background installer. The package carries a default HTTP control-plane endpoint and can retrieve runtime artifacts. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-12T19:07:24.518Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-12T19:09:56.589Z - **Download time:** 1275 ms - **Static scan time:** 9266 ms - **AI review time:** 141528 ms - **Total time:** 152071 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation invokes AIB runtime provisioning and a background installer. The package carries a default HTTP control-plane endpoint and can retrieve runtime artifacts. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall - **Impact:** Installs package-owned persistence and creates a remote-update/control-plane trust surface. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.cjs, scripts/provision-runtime.cjs, scripts/install-windows-launcher.cjs, config/control-plane-client.default.json, dist/bin/cli-main.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-12T19:09:56.589Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** package-owned runtime download, OTA/background setup, and launcher transition - **Rationale:** The lifecycle behavior creates an unresolved package-owned agent/runtime persistence and remote-control surface, warranting a warning. It does not meet the block threshold because no concrete malicious chain or foreign/broad AI-agent control-surface mutation was confirmed. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.cjs, scripts/provision-runtime.cjs, scripts/install-windows-launcher.cjs, dist/bin/aib.js, runtimes, config/control-plane-client.default.json - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/ratiomark/aib-runtime/releases/download/v0.1.4/aib-runtime-manifest.json, http://167.99.240.30:18080 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** postinstall provisions a runtime and invokes \`aib background install\`., Runtime provisioning downloads a versioned archive manifest and extracts it into the package root., Default control-plane configuration targets an HTTP IP endpoint., Windows postinstall performs an AIB-owned npm/launcher transition. - **Evidence against:** No credential harvesting or exfiltration path was confirmed., Agent-skill writes are documented as explicit \`aib skills install\`, not postinstall., Observed persistence is package-owned AIB OTA/background infrastructure, not a foreign AI-agent control surface. ## Public findings ### 1.
