Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. No concrete attack was identified. The obfuscated CLI can automatically execute a newer cached CodeVine CLI, but the inspected source does not establish that this cached executable is attacker-controlled. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 69.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-07T06:59:13.121Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-07T07:00:09.642Z - **Download time:** 771 ms - **Static scan time:** 245 ms - **AI review time:** 55505 ms - **Total time:** 56521 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. The obfuscated CLI can automatically execute a newer cached CodeVine CLI, but the inspected source does not establish that this cached executable is attacker-controlled. - **Trigger:** Running the CLI when a newer cached version exists. - **Impact:** An unsafe cached executable could run with the user’s privileges; the inspected source does not show an untrusted source for that file. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-07T07:00:09.642Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The launcher requires the cached executable from the user’s CodeVine directory and skips its own bundled code after that load. - **Rationale:** The obfuscated bundle and automatic cached-code execution leave real but unresolved code-loading risk, while the inspected source does not prove a concrete attack or malicious payload. The absent postinstall target does not establish install-time mutation. - **Files touched:** ~/.codevineai/bin/\/cli.cjs ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 69.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The distributed CLI bundle is heavily obfuscated, limiting verification of its behavior., The CLI automatically loads a newer cached executable from the user’s CodeVine directory., The postinstall hook suppresses errors while attempting to load a separate file. - **Evidence against:** The referenced dist/postinstall.cjs file is absent from the package file listing, so the hook’s attempt currently has no effect., The cached executable lookup is limited to ~/.codevineai/bin, and the bundle’s environment credential names are CodeVine-specific. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @codevineai/cli@0.2.20261005221724. - Review the evidence and your use of @codevineai/cli@0.2.20261005221724 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.
