This creates persistence and future remote update capability, though signed-artifact verification is present. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-12T20:42:05.053Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-12T20:43:58.966Z - **Download time:** 1010 ms - **Static scan time:** 6331 ms - **AI review time:** 106571 ms - **Total time:** 113913 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation starts a background scheduler setup and configures a remote control plane. This creates persistence and future remote update capability, though signed-artifact verification is present. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall - **Impact:** Unconsented persistence and recurring remote package activity. - **Evidence paths:** scripts/postinstall.cjs, config/control-plane-client.default.json, scripts/provision-runtime.cjs, dist/bin/cli-main.js, dist/workers/control-plane/aib-control-plane-worker.cjs, dist/mutation/semantic-rename-config-worker-child.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-12T20:43:58.966Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** automatic background scheduler and signed OTA control-plane setup - **Rationale:** This is not proven credential theft or foreign AI-agent control hijacking, so blocking is not warranted under policy. Its unconsented postinstall scheduler and remote control-plane lifecycle warrant a warning. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.cjs, dist/bin/aib.js, config/control-plane-client.default.json, dist/workers/control-plane/aib-control-plane-worker.cjs - **Network endpoints:** http://167.99.240.30:18080, https://github.com/ratiomark/aib-runtime/releases/download/v0.1.5/aib-runtime-manifest.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** postinstall invokes the CLI's background install without user action., Default control plane is a dev HTTP endpoint., Package includes an obfuscated TypeScript semantic-rename worker. - **Evidence against:** Remote artifact metadata is pinned to an embedded Ed25519 trusted key., No credential harvesting or unconsented foreign AI-agent config writes were confirmed. ## Public findings ### 1.
