Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation automatically places a package-supplied native binary in a dependency's load path. A Windows broker can later load another package-supplied native add-on. - **Trigger:** npm installation activates postinstall; Windows broker startup activates the separate add-on. - **Impact:** Opaque native code can execute with the installing user's or broker process's privileges. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.cjs, lib/broker/windows-native-endpoint.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-01T17:59:53.965Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Install-time native binary replacement and runtime native add-on loading. - **Rationale:** The package has an automatic lifecycle hook that installs opaque native code into a dependency path and ships another dynamically loaded native module. No source evidence establishes a completed malicious chain, so blocking is not justified. - **Files touched:** postinstall.cjs, prebuilds/darwin-arm64/better\_sqlite3.node, prebuilds/darwin-x64/better\_sqlite3.node, prebuilds/linux-x64/better\_sqlite3.node, prebuilds/win32-x64/better\_sqlite3.node, node\_modules/better-sqlite3/build/Release/better\_sqlite3.node, prebuilds/win32-x64/helios\_windows\_endpoint.node ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 82.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** An automatic postinstall hook runs on package installation., The hook copies a bundled native module into better-sqlite3's release directory., A separate bundled Windows native add-on is dynamically loaded during broker startup; its binary behavior is not auditable from source. - **Evidence against:** The postinstall source shows no network access, secret collection, or AI-agent configuration changes., The only confirmed network helper queries a local Ollama endpoint at 127.0.0.1., No dependency on this package's own name was found., The reported Trojan Source finding is an in-file BOM, not a control-flow-obscuring construct. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @cgh567/agent@2.6.32. - Review the evidence and your use of @cgh567/agent@2.6.32 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.
