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 manifest has no lifecycle scripts, and the flagged network, process and persistence behavior is consistent with this coordination CLI’s purpose. Credential-bearing relay calls use a per-session token for BotBuddy, while setup actions require explicit commands. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-31T11:05:07.068Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-31T11:05:49.478Z - **Download time:** 1040 ms - **Static scan time:** 3783 ms - **AI review time:** 37586 ms - **Total time:** 42410 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 identified. Network, process and persistence behaviors inspected are tied to the CLI’s coordination, update and explicitly invoked setup functions. - **Trigger:** CLI commands; staging-pool and daemon installation require explicit subcommands. - **Impact:** No unauthorized credential transfer, install-time action or unrelated persistence was identified. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T11:05:49.478Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Wait operations send a session token to the configured BotBuddy relay. Update checks query npm, while staging-pool and daemon setup are command-driven. - **Rationale:** The manifest has no lifecycle scripts, and the flagged network, process and persistence behavior is consistent with this coordination CLI’s purpose. Credential-bearing relay calls use a per-session token for BotBuddy, while setup actions require explicit commands. - **Network endpoints:** api.bot-buddy.ai, registry.npmjs.org ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes CLI binaries and package-specific reporter and telemetry modules., Wait requests use the per-session BotBuddy token for relay registration; the code says the command fails closed without it., Staging pool installation is a named human-only operation that requires a tenant., Daemon updater installation runs only through the explicit \`bb daemon updater-install\` command., The update check is described as a throttled npm version check; updating is a separate \`botbuddy update\` command., The launcher’s delivery process handles pending terminal updates from \`bb run\` and is skipped for help and inspection. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @botbuddy/cli@1.64.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @botbuddy/cli@1.64.0 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.
