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. Readable entrypoints show a user-launched dvb and dvbd runtime with no registry install hook. The required linux-arm64 notices.tar.gz file is binary and could not be inspected as source, so a clean verdict cannot be grounded on its contents. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 62.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-27T14:36:33.423Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-27T14:42:11.454Z - **Download time:** 1283 ms - **Static scan time:** 7060 ms - **AI review time:** 329688 ms - **Total time:** 338031 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:** Readable entrypoints show a user-launched dvb and dvbd runtime with no registry install hook. The required linux-arm64 notices.tar.gz file is binary and could not be inspected as source, so a clean verdict cannot be grounded on its contents. - **Trigger:** The daemon starts only when someone runs the dvbd bin. The notices archive has no readable activator in the inspected text. - **Impact:** No credential theft, remote payload, persistence, or foreign agent-config write was shown in the readable files. The opaque archive remains unverified. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-27T14:42:11.454Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** dvbd.cjs dynamically imports the bundled daemon, which checks Node and calls runDaemon. The notices archive could not be decoded into text, so no execution, extraction, or network use of that file was confirmed. - **Rationale:** Inspected package metadata and the dvbd entrypoint show only a user-run daemon and no install lifecycle. The required notices.tar.gz path is non-UTF8 and could not be cited or read, so its contents stay unverified and a clean or block decision is not source-grounded. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 62.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** package.json scripts are only build, prepack, typecheck, lint, and clean. No preinstall, install, or postinstall hook is declared., dist/bin/dvbd.cjs is a user-facing bin that imports ./dvbd.mjs only when the process starts and exits if that import fails., dist/bin/dvbd.mjs starts the daemon only inside an async run function that checks the Node version, sets a working directory, and initializes telemetry before runDaemon., dist/boxes-mosh/linux-arm64/notices.tar.gz is a non-UTF8 binary archive. read\_file rejects it as binary and cite\_source finds no complete printable excerpt, so its contents were not verified. - **Evidence against:** Dependencies do not include this package name, so there is no runtime self-install chain., release.json labels the matching linux-arm64 notices archive as a mosh notices tarball beside client and server binaries, which is consistent with license packaging rather than an install script. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @boxes-dev/dvb-runtime@1.0.1025. - Review the evidence and your use of @boxes-dev/dvb-runtime@1.0.1025 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.
