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 flagged network, process, and persistence behavior is tied to the CLI’s relay, Playwright, update, and staging-pool features. No automatic install hook, unrelated credential transfer, or unrequested account action was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 89.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-04T21:52:04.366Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-04T21:53:36.251Z - **Download time:** 4796 ms - **Static scan time:** 3754 ms - **AI review time:** 83335 ms - **Total time:** 91885 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; the reviewed network and persistence behavior supports the CLI’s stated features. - **Trigger:** CLI commands use the relay and update check; staging-pool and daemon installation require explicit commands. - **Impact:** These actions match the package’s CLI, coordination, and maintenance features; no unrelated credential collection or automatic persistence was identified. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-04T21:53:36.251Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Wait requests send a session token to the BotBuddy relay, setup-error reports contain diagnostic fields, and the update check queries npm for the package version. The staging-pool install command writes its service configuration and launch plist. - **Rationale:** The flagged network, process, and persistence behavior is tied to the CLI’s relay, Playwright, update, and staging-pool features. No automatic install hook, unrelated credential transfer, or unrequested account action was found. - **Files touched:** ~/.botbuddy/update-check.json - **Network endpoints:** https://api.bot-buddy.ai/functions/v1/event-stream, https://api.bot-buddy.ai/functions/v1/sensor-ingest, https://registry.npmjs.org/@botbuddy/cli/latest ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The complete manifest defines CLI binaries and library entrypoints, with no lifecycle scripts., \`bb wait\` uses the BotBuddy relay by default (or an explicitly configured relay) and sends its session token to that relay’s event-stream endpoint., On wait setup errors, the package sends limited diagnostic fields to the relay’s sensor-ingest endpoint using the service bearer., The update check requests the latest package version from \`registry.npmjs.org\`., Staging-pool persistence is created by an explicit, human-only \`install\` command that requires a tenant. - **Evidence against:** The source uses network access, environment variables, and child processes, but the inspected uses serve CLI, relay, Playwright, and update features., Native daemon binaries are present and their binary views are unsupported; the inspected source ties daemon setup to explicit CLI commands. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @botbuddy/cli@1.64.11. - Review the evidence and your use of @botbuddy/cli@1.64.11 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.
