Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: manual review; recommendation: manual review. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The inspected scanner matches did not establish malicious behavior, but this review did not resolve the full agent-configuration behavior or the remaining required runtime paths. Manual review is needed to distinguish normal setup from a residual risk. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 47.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-18T00:44:41.622Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-18T00:45:46.956Z - **Download time:** 6847 ms - **Static scan time:** 14356 ms - **AI review time:** 44130 ms - **Total time:** 65334 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 concrete attack was established from the inspected excerpts. The package includes an upgrade path that materializes agent files, and its complete configuration effects and consent conditions remain unresolved. - **Trigger:** An operator invokes the package upgrade command. - **Impact:** The available source does not establish harmful effects, but the agent configuration behavior needs further inspection. - **Evidence paths:** scripts/gds/claude-materialize.js, scripts/gds/upgrade.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-18T00:45:46.956Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The upgrade flow calls agent-file materialization; the inspected source does not show the full set of files written or the applicable consent checks. - **Rationale:** The inspected scanner matches did not establish malicious behavior, but this review did not resolve the full agent-configuration behavior or the remaining required runtime paths. Manual review is needed to distinguish normal setup from a residual risk. - **Files touched:** scripts/gds/upgrade.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 47.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** The package exposes a server entrypoint and CLI, with no lifecycle script shown in the inspected manifest excerpt., The upgrade path materializes package-provided agent files into an instance, but the inspected excerpt does not establish the full consent and destination behavior., The flagged skill-lint path reads a tool event, checks changed skill files, and prints lint findings. - **Evidence against:** The inspected CLI source describes child-process execution as dispatch to the package's own scripts., The inspected skill-lint path reports lint results and sets a successful exit status; it does not show account actions. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @bongos/core@1.19.1079. - Review the evidence and your use of @bongos/core@1.19.1079 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.
