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 version-matched binary from the project’s GitHub releases and invokes it as the CLI. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 85.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-07T20:53:07.193Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-07T20:53:44.862Z - **Download time:** 764 ms - **Static scan time:** 140 ms - **AI review time:** 36763 ms - **Total time:** 37669 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 version-matched binary from the project’s GitHub releases and invokes it as the CLI. - **Trigger:** A user invokes the rhizo command or imports the configured entrypoint. - **Impact:** The inspected source establishes no unintended mutation, credential collection, or exfiltration. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-07T20:53:44.862Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The launcher checks for a compatible local or cached binary, downloads from the project’s GitHub releases if needed, then passes through CLI arguments and the current environment. - **Rationale:** The manifest defines a user-invoked CLI and no install lifecycle hook. The inspected launcher fetches a release from the package’s own GitHub repository and executes it on invocation; the source provides no concrete malicious behavior. - **Network endpoints:** github.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 85.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json exposes bin/run.js as the package entrypoint and rhizo command., bin/run.js downloads a version-matched binary from the project’s GitHub releases and runs it only when the CLI is invoked, passing through the caller’s arguments and environment. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @axiomantic/rhizo@0.2.9. - Review the evidence and your use of @axiomantic/rhizo@0.2.9 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.
