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. Source inspection found an automatic postinstall fallback for the declared Transformers dependency and a URL-validated browser opener, but no concrete attack behavior. The scanner’s command-execution signal resolves to opening an approved site, not command-output exfiltration. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 89.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-23T03:45:51.437Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-23T03:46:58.878Z - **Download time:** 780 ms - **Static scan time:** 1773 ms - **AI review time:** 64887 ms - **Total time:** 67441 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 in the inspected package sources. The automatic installer is limited to the package’s declared Transformers dependency, and the flagged browser command is restricted to an awareness.market URL. - **Trigger:** Package installation runs the postinstall check; the browser opener runs when its API route is invoked with an accepted URL. - **Impact:** No confirmed attack surface was established in the inspected behavior; the fallback may add the declared dependency to the current project. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-23T03:46:58.878Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The postinstall exits if Transformers resolves and otherwise selects a package-manager command for that dependency. The API handler checks the URL prefix before passing it to the platform browser opener. - **Rationale:** Source inspection found an automatic postinstall fallback for the declared Transformers dependency and a URL-validated browser opener, but no concrete attack behavior. The scanner’s command-execution signal resolves to opening an approved site, not command-output exfiltration. - **Files touched:** package.json, install-transformers.mjs, src/daemon/api-handlers.mjs - **Network endpoints:** https://awareness.market/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The postinstall checks for its declared Transformers dependency and exits when it is available; its fallback installs only that dependency., The flagged process execution opens a browser only for an HTTPS URL under awareness.market., The CLI wrapper loads the package’s ESM entry point; the public API uses localhost, and the daemon is documented as loopback-bound., The inspected dependency manifests and entry files show Transformers, MCP server transport, and elliptic-curve library code; no attack behavior was identified in the inspected paths., The embed function passes its input text through the pipeline and returns the output as a Float32Array. - **Evidence against:** The scanner’s command-execution signal does not establish command-output exfiltration: the inspected API handler validates an awareness.market URL before invoking the browser opener., The postinstall runs automatically and can add the already-declared Transformers dependency to the current project if the package-local resolution check fails. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @awareness.market/local@0.20.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @awareness.market/local@0.20.1 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.
