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 launcher. It selects a compatible native client, downloading it from the project’s GitHub release when necessary, then forwards the caller’s arguments. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 82.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-07T07:37:29.254Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-07T07:38:24.261Z - **Download time:** 770 ms - **Static scan time:** 129 ms - **AI review time:** 54106 ms - **Total time:** 55007 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 launcher. It selects a compatible native client, downloading it from the project’s GitHub release when necessary, then forwards the caller’s arguments. - **Trigger:** Running the \`rhizo\` command or importing the configured entry point. - **Impact:** The intended native client runs; the inspected source does not establish malicious behavior. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-07T07:38:24.261Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The launcher resolves a local or cached binary, otherwise downloads a platform-specific release asset, and starts the selected binary with inherited environment and standard streams. - **Rationale:** The inspected source supports a package-aligned native CLI launcher, and no concrete attack behavior was found. Native binaries are distributed and may be downloaded, but the JavaScript source alone does not establish that they behave maliciously. - **Files touched:** bin/run.js - **Network endpoints:** github.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 82.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest describes a Redis-backed inter-assistant tool and points to the launcher as its entry point., The launcher downloads a platform binary from the project’s GitHub releases and runs it with the caller’s arguments., The inspected launcher contains no credential collection, unrelated data transmission, or agent configuration writes. - **Evidence against:** The launcher can fetch and execute a native binary when no compatible local or cached copy exists; the binary’s behavior is not established by the inspected JavaScript source. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @axiomantic/rhizo@0.2.5. - Review the evidence and your use of @axiomantic/rhizo@0.2.5 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.
