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 requests and persistence serve the CLI’s relay, update-check, and staging-pool features. Staging installation is an explicit human command, and no malicious credential flow or unrelated automatic action was identified. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-04T23:13:49.345Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-04T23:14:48.734Z - **Download time:** 17925 ms - **Static scan time:** 3777 ms - **AI review time:** 37687 ms - **Total time:** 59389 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. The package provides CLI and agent coordination features, including user-invoked relay requests and an explicitly installed staging-session job. - **Trigger:** CLI commands; staging persistence requires the explicit staging-pool install command. - **Impact:** Observed network and persistence behavior serves the package's stated CLI and session-pool functions; no unrelated collection or attack behavior was found. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-04T23:14:48.734Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Wait commands use a session token with the configured BotBuddy relay. The update check fetches package version metadata from npm. The staging job maintains the installed session pool. - **Rationale:** The reviewed network requests and persistence serve the CLI’s relay, update-check, and staging-pool features. Staging installation is an explicit human command, and no malicious credential flow or unrelated automatic action was identified. - **Files touched:** ~/.botbuddy/update-check.json, ~/.botbuddy/staging-session-pool/, ~/Library/LaunchAgents/\.plist - **Network endpoints:** api.bot-buddy.ai, registry.npmjs.org ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes CLI commands and two focused module exports; it declares no lifecycle scripts., Staging-pool installation checks for a human invocation before network or file operations, then registers the tenant pool and installs its job only through the explicit install command., The staging LaunchAgent runs the pool job at load after installation, which supports the documented session-pool feature., Wait requests send a per-session BotBuddy token to the configured BotBuddy relay as part of the wait feature., The stale-version check reads version metadata from the npm registry and caches the result locally. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @botbuddy/cli@1.64.13. - Review the evidence and your use of @botbuddy/cli@1.64.13 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.
