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. This is an explicit, project-local hook setup rather than unconsented install-time mutation. It merits a warning for its persistent command-execution surface, not a block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-21T04:00:58.350Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-21T04:02:00.920Z - **Download time:** 1012 ms - **Static scan time:** 145 ms - **AI review time:** 61413 ms - **Total time:** 62570 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 install-time attack surface is established. An explicit \`task setup\` command configures project-local Git hooks, which run verification commands on later Git actions. - **Trigger:** User runs \`task setup\`, then performs a Git commit or push. - **Impact:** Commit and push workflows invoke the configured \`deft\` verification commands. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, Taskfile.yml, .githooks/pre-commit, .githooks/pre-push, .githooks/\_deft-run.sh - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-21T04:02:00.920Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Explicit project-local Git hook configuration - **Rationale:** This is an explicit, project-local hook setup rather than unconsented install-time mutation. It merits a warning for its persistent command-execution surface, not a block. - **Files touched:** Taskfile.yml, .githooks/pre-commit, .githooks/pre-push, .githooks/\_deft-run.sh, .git/config ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** \`task setup\` changes the current project's Git hooks path., Bundled hooks invoke the \`deft\` CLI on commits and pushes. - **Evidence against:** No npm preinstall/install/postinstall lifecycle hook is declared., Only three shell files are executable; no payload binary or symlink was found., Reviewed hook code contains no network, credential harvesting, or exfiltration logic. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @deftai/directive-content@0.105.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @deftai/directive-content@0.105.0 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.
