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 declares no install lifecycle hook, and importing its library entry point only exposes functions. The flagged installs and project writes are part of the explicit setup workflow, while provider requests analyze project pages using a provider and key selected by the user. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-01T11:15:23.238Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-01T11:15:59.474Z - **Download time:** 509 ms - **Static scan time:** 509 ms - **AI review time:** 35217 ms - **Total time:** 36236 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; package behavior matches its CLI analyzer and setup purpose. - **Trigger:** Project edits, package installs and manifest generation occur through explicit CLI commands such as cairn setup or cairn build. - **Impact:** No unauthorized credential collection, unrelated account actions, or concealed automatic behavior was identified. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T11:15:59.474Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Setup asks the user to select an LLM provider and supply its key; the analyzer sends page source and UI data to that provider to produce descriptions. - **Rationale:** The package declares no install lifecycle hook, and importing its library entry point only exposes functions. The flagged installs and project writes are part of the explicit setup workflow, while provider requests analyze project pages using a provider and key selected by the user. - **Files touched:** .env, AGENTS.md, .cairn/CAIRN.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json defines a CLI and library entry point, with no install lifecycle script., Importing dist/index.js exposes library functions; command actions are dispatched only when the CLI receives the corresponding command., cairn setup prompts the user to choose an LLM provider before requesting its key., The build sends page source and UI element data to the selected LLM provider to generate page descriptions., Setup writes a root AGENTS.md only when one does not already exist, and its stub points to the generated Cairn reference document. - **Evidence against:** cairn setup installs packages, writes project configuration and may build a manifest; these actions are tied to the explicit setup command., Manifest generation sends up to 12,000 characters of project source per page to the selected provider, consistent with the analyzer’s stated purpose. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @cairnvibe/indexer@0.5.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @cairnvibe/indexer@0.5.1 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.

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.

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 = 1 ``` ### 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.
