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. The inspected manifest and bundle do not establish malicious behavior. The declared @clerk/shared dependency source was unavailable for review, so the package cannot be cleared as clean. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-20T18:19:43.895Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-20T18:20:33.871Z - **Download time:** 3811 ms - **Static scan time:** 8130 ms - **AI review time:** 38034 ms - **Total time:** 49976 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 concrete attack was identified in the inspected package source. Review remains unresolved because a declared runtime dependency could not be inspected. - **Trigger:** Importing or using the package may load its declared runtime dependencies. - **Impact:** No specific harmful effect is confirmed from the inspected source. - **Evidence paths:** package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-20T18:20:33.871Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The available source does not establish harmful behavior; the unresolved dependency’s behavior remains unverified. - **Rationale:** The inspected manifest and bundle do not establish malicious behavior. The declared @clerk/shared dependency source was unavailable for review, so the package cannot be cleared as clean. - **Files touched:** package.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** package.json identifies the Clerk package and version and declares @clerk/shared as a runtime dependency., The inspected dependency snapshot marks @clerk/shared unresolved because its source exceeded the inspection limit; its behavior could not be verified. - **Evidence against:** No lifecycle scripts are declared in the inspected package manifest., The bundle’s telemetry code uses a Clerk telemetry endpoint and includes disabled and sampling controls. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @clerk/clerk-js@6.40.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @clerk/clerk-js@6.40.0 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.
