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. Source inspection found no install-time execution or concrete attack behavior. The scanner-flagged process, network, and project-configuration operations are used by explicit CLI workflows and fit the package's scaffolding and audit functions. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-12T06:37:34.259Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-12T06:38:08.203Z - **Download time:** 513 ms - **Static scan time:** 558 ms - **AI review time:** 32872 ms - **Total time:** 33944 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 was identified. The package provides an explicit command-line scaffolder, license validation, and optional audit sharing. - **Trigger:** A user invokes a command such as create, init, or audit; sharing requires an audit action. - **Impact:** These inspected behaviors support the advertised CLI functions; no confirmed attack surface was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-12T06:38:08.203Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Scaffolding writes requested blueprint files into the selected project target. License validation contacts its configured service, and sharing submits audit content after collecting project details. - **Rationale:** Source inspection found no install-time execution or concrete attack behavior. The scanner-flagged process, network, and project-configuration operations are used by explicit CLI workflows and fit the package's scaffolding and audit functions. - **Files touched:** package.json, cli/index.js, cli/scaffold.js, cli/license.js, cli/navigator-share.js, cli/terminal.js, cli/audit/social-git.js - **Network endpoints:** https://chemicalx.xophz.com, https://mycompassconsulting.com/wp-json/compass/v1/gatekeeper ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes command-line entry points and has no automatic install lifecycle hook., Project scaffolding runs only through an explicit command and writes into a chosen target directory after checking it is empty., License validation sends a supplied or cached license key and device identifier to the configured service., Discussion sharing asks for project details and is an explicit audit action., Shell utilities are invoked with fixed command names and argument arrays for browser opening or terminal prompts., The flagged Git helper parses repository URLs to derive GitHub project information. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @chemx/create-chemx@26.9.13-383. - Review the evidence and your use of @chemx/create-chemx@26.9.13-383 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.
