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. No attack was identified in the inspected JavaScript launcher. It selects a platform binary, downloads it from the package's GitHub release when needed, and runs it as the requested command. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-08T01:27:20.813Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-08T01:27:45.341Z - **Download time:** 778 ms - **Static scan time:** 134 ms - **AI review time:** 23614 ms - **Total time:** 24528 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 JavaScript launcher. It selects a platform binary, downloads it from the package's GitHub release when needed, and runs it as the requested command. - **Trigger:** Invoking the rhizo command when no compatible local binary is available. - **Impact:** This is consistent with the package's native command-line entrypoint; the inspected source shows no separate attack behavior. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-08T01:27:45.341Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The launcher downloads a versioned binary from github.com/axiomantic/rhizo and executes it with the caller's arguments and environment. - **Rationale:** The inspected manifest and launcher describe a package-aligned native CLI, with no install lifecycle hook or concrete malicious behavior identified. The launcher relies on a native binary whose behavior was not established by the inspected JavaScript source. - **Files touched:** bin/run.js - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/axiomantic/rhizo/releases/download/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json identifies the package as a Redis-based inter-assistant communication tool and points its entrypoint to the launcher., bin/run.js fetches a platform-specific binary from the package's GitHub release and runs it with the caller's arguments., No install lifecycle hook is declared in package.json. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @axiomantic/rhizo@0.2.11. - Review the evidence and your use of @axiomantic/rhizo@0.2.11 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.
