Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: manual review; recommendation: manual review. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Inspected install, update, health, and standalone files did not show a covert supply-chain attack. File access, autostart, and vendor API calls are the local chat product and run after the user starts Jarela or connects a service. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 78.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-19T12:25:31.404Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-19T12:29:22.552Z - **Download time:** 4053 ms - **Static scan time:** 31154 ms - **AI review time:** 195939 ms - **Total time:** 231148 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:** Inspected install, update, health, and standalone files did not show a covert supply-chain attack. File access, autostart, and vendor API calls are the local chat product and run after the user starts Jarela or connects a service. - **Trigger:** npm install prints a hint only; the server, autostart, updates, and file tools run when the user starts jarela or uses in-app actions. - **Impact:** No confirmed unconsented install-time host compromise; running the app can still reach local files and connected accounts by design. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-19T12:29:22.552Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** local LangGraph chat app with user-invoked tools - **Rationale:** Source inspection shows a local LangGraph chat app whose scanner malware labels come from product APIs and vendored Next.js files, not a hidden install payload. A clean mark would need 13 required citations while only 8 are allowed, and nothing independently supports a warning or block. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 78.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** High - **AI review observations:** package.json prepare only builds workspace packages when present, and postinstall only prints a global-install hint then exits., Health probes send user-configured tokens to the matching vendor APIs, including Gmail via the first-party token proxy then gmail.googleapis.com., Update code talks to registry.npmjs.org and GitHub, and runs npm i -g @circuitwall/jarela only on an explicit update., The oversized standalone chunk is a Next.js webpack bundle, not a hidden drop, and other high scanner hits sit in vendor Next/LangChain files., There is no runtime self-dependency and no install-time write to a foreign AI-agent control surface., A clean verdict would need 13 required citations while this report can hold only 8, so the decision cannot be marked clean even though no independent attack chain was found. - **Evidence against:** Connecting Gmail with the bundled client posts refresh tokens to a package-hosted Cloud Run proxy by default., The localhost local-file route can read arbitrary paths, and an interactive first-run prompt can register per-user autostart. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @circuitwall/jarela@1.29.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @circuitwall/jarela@1.29.0 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.
