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 package installation and project edits are part of the advertised setup and update workflows and require explicit CLI use. No malicious credential flow, unrelated collection, or automatic install-time behavior was identified. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-01T11:14:18.833Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-01T11:14:52.798Z - **Download time:** 511 ms - **Static scan time:** 641 ms - **AI review time:** 32812 ms - **Total time:** 33965 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; package operations serve its project analyzer and setup CLI. - **Trigger:** CLI commands explicitly selected by the user; importing the main entry only exposes library functions. - **Impact:** Expected project setup and update changes. No automatic credential collection or unrelated data transfer was identified. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T11:14:52.798Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Setup scaffolds files, installs Cairn dependencies, and configures future manifest builds; update checks package versions and prompts before installing by default. - **Rationale:** The flagged package installation and project edits are part of the advertised setup and update workflows and require explicit CLI use. No malicious credential flow, unrelated collection, or automatic install-time behavior was identified. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The package exposes a CLI; its main entry point only re-exports library functions, and the manifest declares no lifecycle scripts., The flagged npm install runs only from the explicit \`cairn setup\` command and installs Cairn packages into the chosen project., Setup asks the user to choose an LLM provider and enter a key, with an option to skip; the CLI’s build command uses the selected provider client., Setup adds a prebuild script to regenerate the manifest as part of future project builds., \`cairn update\` asks before installing updates unless the user explicitly passes \`--apply\` or \`--yes\`. - **Evidence against:** Setup and update invoke npm and modify project files, but these actions are reached through explicit CLI commands., The new Google GenAI dependency declares a no-op \`preinstall\` script. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @cairnvibe/indexer@0.4.4. - Review the evidence and your use of @cairnvibe/indexer@0.4.4 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.
