The executed binary automatically bootstraps AI-assistant integrations unless explicitly disabled. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-11T15:01:13.128Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-11T15:01:51.973Z - **Download time:** 502 ms - **Static scan time:** 112 ms - **AI review time:** 38230 ms - **Total time:** 38845 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** npm postinstall downloads a verified native Atlas release and executes it. The executed binary automatically bootstraps AI-assistant integrations unless explicitly disabled. - **Trigger:** npm install of @aziron/atlas - **Impact:** Unconsented install-time modification of AI-assistant integration configuration is possible; native binary behavior is outside the packaged JS source. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install.js, checksums.txt, bin/atlas.js, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-11T15:01:51.973Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** downloaded native binary execution with automatic MCP/assistant bootstrap - **Rationale:** The package has a concrete install-time native payload and automatic AI-agent integration setup. Its checksum validation and consent-gated telemetry reduce other indicators, but automatic bootstrap warrants a warning under the lifecycle policy. - **Files touched:** scripts/install.js, checksums.txt, vendor/\-\/atlas, ~/.atlas/telemetry-consent.json, ~/.atlas/update-config.json - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/aziron-ai/atlas/releases/download/v0.1.53, https://www.google-analytics.com/mp/collect ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs scripts/install.js as postinstall., scripts/install.js downloads and extracts a native release archive, then executes its atlas binary., Postinstall invokes \`atlas bootstrap\` unless ATLAS\_SKIP\_BOOTSTRAP is set; comments state it registers AI-assistant skill/MCP configuration., Auto-update is enabled and persisted by default even for non-interactive installs. - **Evidence against:** Release archive SHA-256 is checked against packaged checksums.txt before extraction., Install telemetry only sends after recorded interactive opt-in; CI/non-interactive installs do not send it., No source evidence of credential harvesting, arbitrary shell strings, eval, or destructive project-file operations. ## Public findings ### 1.
