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. No confirmed malicious behavior was identified in the inspected JavaScript source. The launcher can select a bundled native executable or download one from the package’s release repository and run it. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 79.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-07T02:51:34.916Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-07T02:51:50.868Z - **Download time:** 1031 ms - **Static scan time:** 48 ms - **AI review time:** 14872 ms - **Total time:** 15952 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 confirmed malicious behavior was identified in the inspected JavaScript source. The launcher can select a bundled native executable or download one from the package’s release repository and run it. - **Trigger:** Running the garden command or importing the package entrypoint. - **Impact:** The native program’s behavior is unresolved because the shipped executable is not inspectable as source here. - **Evidence paths:** bin/run.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-07T02:51:50.868Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The launcher checks for a compatible binary, downloads and extracts a release archive when needed, then starts the selected executable with inherited arguments and environment. - **Rationale:** The source shows an invocation-triggered native launcher and no install-time lifecycle hook. Because the native payload could not be inspected, its runtime behavior remains unresolved; the evidence supports a warning, not a finding of malicious activity. - **Files touched:** bin/run.js, bin/binaries/garden-linux-x64 - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/axiomantic/garden/releases/download/v${VERSION}/${assetName} ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 79.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The manifest exposes the launcher as both the package entrypoint and command, and includes native binaries., The launcher fetches a release archive from GitHub when it cannot find a compatible binary., The launcher extracts the downloaded archive and runs the selected native binary with the caller’s arguments and environment., The native executable could not be inspected as source, so its behavior is unresolved. - **Evidence against:** The manifest has no install lifecycle scripts; the download and execution occur when the launcher is invoked., The fetched release URL uses the package’s own repository and version. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @axiomantic/garden@0.2.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @axiomantic/garden@0.2.1 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.
