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 package has no install hook, and its library entry point only exports functionality. The flagged installation and project-file changes occur through the user-invoked setup workflow; review found no unrelated collection, transmission, or concealed execution. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-01T11:15:10.153Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-01T11:16:00.407Z - **Download time:** 762 ms - **Static scan time:** 651 ms - **AI review time:** 48841 ms - **Total time:** 50254 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; install, project setup, removal, and updates are command-driven. - **Trigger:** A user invokes the relevant Cairn CLI command; setup is not run automatically on install or import. - **Impact:** No malicious behavior or unauthorized data flow was identified. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T11:16:00.407Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Setup scaffolds Cairn files, optionally installs declared dependencies, and saves user-entered provider configuration locally. It may add a documentation pointer to AGENTS.md when that file is absent. - **Rationale:** The package has no install hook, and its library entry point only exports functionality. The flagged installation and project-file changes occur through the user-invoked setup workflow; review found no unrelated collection, transmission, or concealed execution. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The package manifest defines only build and typecheck scripts; it has no install lifecycle hook., The CLI dispatches setup, remove, and update in response to named commands; the library entry point only exports functions., Setup installs the declared project dependencies as part of the explicit setup command., Setup asks whether to configure an LLM provider and accepts its key through a password prompt., Setup writes a project AGENTS.md pointer only when one does not already exist; the text points to Cairn documentation. - **Evidence against:** The setup command can install dependencies and modify project files, but these actions are part of its stated scaffolding purpose and require invoking the command., A new project-level AGENTS.md pointer is written when absent, but its content only links to Cairn documentation. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @cairnvibe/indexer@0.5.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @cairnvibe/indexer@0.5.0 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. Low: Scripts Present - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 100.0% Package declares npm scripts. ### 2. High: Child Process - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 85.0% - **Path:** dist/remove.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Package source references child process execution. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript L19: const node_path_1 = __importDefault(require("node:path")); L20: const node_child_process_1 = require("node:child_process"); L21: const install_manifest_1 = require("./install-manifest"); ``` ### 3. Low: Eval - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 45.0% - **Path:** dist/clack.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Package source references a known benign dynamic code generation pattern. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript L30: // situation (used by ts-node, Jest, and others bridging CJS callers to L31: // ESM-only packages): constructing the import call via `new Function(...)` L32: // hides it from TypeScript's compiler entirely, so what actually runs at ``` ### 4. Medium: Environment Vars - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 75.0% Package source references environment variables. ### 5. Low: Filesystem - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 70.0% Package source references filesystem APIs. ### 6. High: Runtime Package Install - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Path:** dist/update.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Package source invokes a package manager install command at runtime. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript L141: try { L142: (0, node_child_process_1.execSync)(`npm install ${targets.join(" ")}`, { cwd: absDir, stdio: "pipe" }); L143: } ``` ### 7. Low: High Entropy Strings - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 55.0% Package source contains high-entropy string patterns. ### 8. Low: Url Strings - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 65.0% Package source contains URL literals. ### 9. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review - **Category:** Artifact Inventory - **Confidence:** 75.0% Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean. ### 10. High: Semantic Analysis Limited - **Category:** Scanner Coverage - **Confidence:** 100.0% - **Path:** dist/cli.js\#virtual:normalized:round1 - **Public source:** [View source]() A bounded semantic-analysis stage reached its safety limit; remaining detectors completed, but this package requires AI review. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```text stage = ast_semantic_analysis; reason = ast_parse_error; limitedFiles = 2 ``` ### 11. Critical: Previous Version Dangerous Delta - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Path:** dist/setup.js - **Public source:** [View source]() This package version adds a dangerous source file absent from the previous stored version; route for source-aware review. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript matchType = previous_version_dangerous_delta matchedPackage = @cairnvibe/indexer@0.2.6 matchedIdentity = npm:QGNhaXJudmliZS9pbmRleGVy:0.2.6 similarity = 0.429 summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file ``` ### 12. Low: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() The package manifest defines only build and typecheck scripts; it has no install lifecycle hook.
