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 manifest or JavaScript launcher. The launcher acts when the user invokes the command and runs a release binary. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 82.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-07T21:41:47.552Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-07T21:42:05.654Z - **Download time:** 1033 ms - **Static scan time:** 132 ms - **AI review time:** 16934 ms - **Total time:** 18102 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 manifest or JavaScript launcher. The launcher acts when the user invokes the command and runs a release binary. - **Trigger:** The user invokes the rhizo command or imports its main entry point. - **Impact:** No malicious effect is established by the inspected JavaScript source; the behavior of the native binaries was not determined from that source. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-07T21:42:05.654Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The launcher checks for a compatible local binary, downloads a platform-specific archive from the package's GitHub releases if needed, and runs the binary with the user's arguments and environment. - **Rationale:** The inspected source shows a user-invoked native CLI launcher and no install-time execution or concrete malicious behavior. Scanner signals about environment variables and executable downloads are consistent with selecting and launching the package's native program. - **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:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes bin/run.js as the command-line entry point for an inter-assistant and Redis work-queue package., The launcher downloads a versioned platform binary from the package's GitHub release when no compatible local binary is found, then runs it with the caller's arguments and environment. - **Evidence against:** The manifest declares no install lifecycle hook, so the launcher is not automatically invoked during package installation., The inspected launcher contains no CI, host, platform, time, or geo fingerprint gate; it selects binaries by platform and architecture. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @axiomantic/rhizo@0.2.8. - Review the evidence and your use of @axiomantic/rhizo@0.2.8 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.
