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. The reviewed network and process behavior serves the CLI's coordination, wait, update, and Playwright functions. The flagged launchd persistence requires an explicit staging-pool install command, and the manifest contains no install lifecycle scripts. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-29T16:55:21.804Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-29T16:56:24.666Z - **Download time:** 2320 ms - **Static scan time:** 3780 ms - **AI review time:** 56761 ms - **Total time:** 62862 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; network, process, and persistence behavior supports the CLI's coordination features. - **Trigger:** Network requests occur during explicit wait or update workflows; launchd setup requires the staging-pool install command. - **Impact:** No unauthorized collection, unrelated credential destination, or unrequested persistence was identified. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-29T16:56:24.666Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Wait sends its session credential to the configured BotBuddy relay. Run delivery checks for pending command-run context, and staging-pool installation is an explicit command. - **Rationale:** The reviewed network and process behavior serves the CLI's coordination, wait, update, and Playwright functions. The flagged launchd persistence requires an explicit staging-pool install command, and the manifest contains no install lifecycle scripts. - **Network endpoints:** https://api.bot-buddy.ai/functions/v1, https://registry.npmjs.org/@botbuddy/cli/latest ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes CLI entry points and ends with dependency declarations; it has no lifecycle scripts., Wait requests send a session token to the BotBuddy relay or a relay URL supplied by the user., The launcher starts delivery only when command-run data exists, and delivery can be disabled with BOTBUDDY\_RUN\_DELIVERY=off., The staging-pool code is reached through an explicit CLI command and describes installation as a human action. - **Evidence against:** The CLI uses child processes and network requests as part of its coordination and Playwright functions., The staging-pool command can install a launchd job and write pool configuration when explicitly invoked. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @botbuddy/cli@1.63.35. - Review the evidence and your use of @botbuddy/cli@1.63.35 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.
