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 provisions a local native SQLite fallback; agent extensions are supplied to the package CLI on explicit use. - **Trigger:** npm install; explicit helios or dashboard command - **Impact:** No credential exfiltration, remote payload execution, or foreign AI-agent configuration mutation found. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.cjs, bin/helios.js, backfill-dashboard.js, brainv2/task-context-strategy.ts, lib/triage-core/types.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-20T00:09:27.757Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** local native-binding fallback and package-owned CLI extension loading - **Rationale:** Source inspection does not substantiate the scanner's malicious claim. The observed lifecycle behavior is a constrained native dependency fallback, and other flagged primitives are explicit CLI/runtime functionality. - **Files touched:** postinstall.cjs, prebuilds/\-\/better\_sqlite3.node, bin/helios.js, backfill-dashboard.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** Defines an npm postinstall hook., Postinstall copies a bundled better-sqlite3 native binding only when the dependency binding is absent. - **Evidence against:** Postinstall makes no network requests, collects no credentials, and writes no agent configuration., The fallback is platform-scoped and preserves an existing dependency binding., The flagged dashboard only runs from explicit invocation and spawns its local backfill script; the npm-install text is a console instruction, not execution., The dynamic require is a fixed package-relative module path with failure handling. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @cgh567/agent@2.6.18. - Review the evidence and your use of @cgh567/agent@2.6.18 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.
