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. On installation, an opaque lifecycle hook can retrieve and unpack a platform-specific native payload into better-sqlite3. The unreadable hook prevents verification that the retrieved bytes are limited to the stated repair function. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-13T01:43:23.520Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-13T01:44:22.308Z - **Download time:** 769 ms - **Static scan time:** 1148 ms - **AI review time:** 56870 ms - **Total time:** 58788 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:** On installation, an opaque lifecycle hook can retrieve and unpack a platform-specific native payload into better-sqlite3. The unreadable hook prevents verification that the retrieved bytes are limited to the stated repair function. - **Trigger:** npm installation on a host where the hook chooses the better-sqlite3 repair path. - **Impact:** An unverified remote payload can become executable native code in the installed dependency tree. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-13T01:44:22.308Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Obfuscated postinstall download, extraction, and native dependency mutation. - **Rationale:** This is a real install-time remote-payload and conversation-data capability, but the inspected package does not establish the policy's complete malicious lifecycle chain or direct secret theft. The appropriate outcome is a warning because the obfuscation and unchecked native payload leave material unresolved risk. - **Files touched:** postinstall.js, node\_modules/better-sqlite3 - **Network endpoints:** bd-acw.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** Installation automatically runs postinstall.js., The install hook is heavily obfuscated yet imports filesystem, HTTP(S), compression, and child-process APIs; it downloads and extracts a native payload without a visible integrity check., The package documentation says it automatically collects and uploads AI conversation records., DISCLOSURE addresses automated scanners and asserts benignness, which is reviewer-directed social engineering. - **Evidence against:** The manifest declares better-sqlite3 as an optional dependency, consistent with the hook's stated native-module repair purpose., No self-dependency or direct credential-harvesting path was found in the inspected manifest and readable documentation. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @bangdao-ai/acw-tools@1.13.72. - Review the evidence and your use of @bangdao-ai/acw-tools@1.13.72 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.
