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. The CLI launcher can acquire and execute a native binary whose behavior is not established by the inspected JavaScript source. This is an unresolved payload execution risk, not evidence of a confirmed attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 81.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-07T05:39:07.374Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-07T05:39:33.718Z - **Download time:** 4372 ms - **Static scan time:** 36 ms - **AI review time:** 21934 ms - **Total time:** 26344 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:** The CLI launcher can acquire and execute a native binary whose behavior is not established by the inspected JavaScript source. This is an unresolved payload execution risk, not evidence of a confirmed attack. - **Trigger:** A user invokes the CLI when no compatible local or cached binary is available. - **Impact:** The native program can perform actions available to the invoking user; its behavior could not be verified from the inspected source. - **Evidence paths:** bin/run.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-07T05:39:33.718Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The launcher downloads a versioned archive from GitHub releases, checks for a compatible binary, and runs the resolved binary with the caller's arguments and environment. - **Rationale:** The launcher can execute opaque native payloads when the CLI is invoked, leaving a concrete but unresolved capability risk. The source does not establish malicious behavior, and the package has no install lifecycle hook, so this warrants a warning rather than a block. - **Files touched:** bin/run.js, bin/binaries/vine-darwin-arm64, bin/binaries/vine-darwin-x64, bin/binaries/vine-linux-arm64, bin/binaries/vine-linux-x64, bin/binaries/vine-win32-x64.exe - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/axiomantic/vine/releases/download/v${VERSION}/${assetName} ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 81.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The manifest defines the CLI entry point and contains no install lifecycle hook., When invoked, the launcher may download a platform archive from the package's GitHub releases., The launcher executes the resolved native binary with the caller's arguments and environment; the binary payload behavior is not established by inspected JavaScript source. - **Evidence against:** The download URL is constructed for the package's named GitHub repository and version., The launcher runs only when the CLI entry point is invoked; no install-time execution path was found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @axiomantic/vine@0.2.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @axiomantic/vine@0.2.0 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.
