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. No confirmed malicious attack surface. The install hook only prepares a declared SQLite native binding; the CLI's credential use is runtime-only and provider-aligned. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-09T22:07:55.200Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-09T22:09:19.508Z - **Download time:** 2023 ms - **Static scan time:** 23818 ms - **AI review time:** 58465 ms - **Total time:** 84308 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 confirmed malicious attack surface. The install hook only prepares a declared SQLite native binding; the CLI's credential use is runtime-only and provider-aligned. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall or explicit helios-rpc invocation - **Impact:** No confirmed exfiltration, remote payload execution, persistence, or foreign AI-agent control-surface mutation. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.cjs, bin/helios-rpc.js, bin/file-polyfill.cjs, extensions/\_\_tests\_\_/session-path-fixes.test.sh, lib/triage-core/types.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-09T22:09:19.508Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** SQLite binding setup and user-invoked Pi runtime launch - **Rationale:** Static inspection found package-aligned native setup and explicit-runtime credential forwarding to the declared Pi/Bedrock stack, but no concrete malicious chain. Scanner hints about Unicode and hidden payloads were not substantiated by the inspected source. - **Files touched:** postinstall.cjs, prebuilds/\/better\_sqlite3.node, node\_modules/better-sqlite3/build/Release/better\_sqlite3.node, bin/helios-rpc.js, auth.json, ~/.pi/agent/auth.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** bin/helios-rpc.js reads Bedrock credentials from package and ~/.pi auth files at explicit runtime., postinstall.cjs installs a platform-specific native SQLite binding. - **Evidence against:** postinstall.cjs has no network, credential harvesting, or AI-agent config mutation., Its only write copies prebuilds/\/better\_sqlite3.node into declared better-sqlite3's Release directory., bin/helios-rpc.js launches declared Pi dependencies only when the user invokes helios-rpc., lib/triage-core/types.ts contains a BOM at line 900, not a bidi control sequence., The flagged shell file is an excluded test script, not install-time payload code. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @cgh567/agent@2.6.11. - Review the evidence and your use of @cgh567/agent@2.6.11 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.
