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. The package has an explicit-user-command global agent hook installer, which warrants a warning under the control-surface policy. Static inspection found no install lifecycle, fixed credential redirection, or concrete malicious payload chain. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-29T18:03:31.580Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-29T18:04:40.287Z - **Download time:** 526 ms - **Static scan time:** 6131 ms - **AI review time:** 62049 ms - **Total time:** 68707 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 was found. An explicit notebook migration can add owned command hooks to the user's Claude configuration. - **Trigger:** The user runs pj notebook migrate with --apply when the notebook hook repair is selected. - **Impact:** Future Claude session events can invoke the package's local notebook wrappers. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.js, dist/assets/project-notebook-skill/hooks/hooks.master.json, dist/assets/project-notebook-skill/hooks/session-start.sh, dist/assets/project-notebook-skill/hooks/session-end.sh - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-29T18:04:40.287Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Projects owned session hooks into a global agent settings file. - **Rationale:** The package has an explicit-user-command global agent hook installer, which warrants a warning under the control-surface policy. Static inspection found no install lifecycle, fixed credential redirection, or concrete malicious payload chain. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.agents/skills/project-notebook, ~/.local/share/pjangler/skills/project-notebook ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** An explicit notebook migration can install a global Project Notebook skill and project hooks., The installer targets the user's Claude settings file and invokes a hook projector., The projected settings run command hooks at SessionStart and SessionEnd. - **Evidence against:** The manifest has no npm install lifecycle hook; prepublishOnly is publisher-side., Hook installation is reached through an explicit user command with --apply, not package installation., The hook wrappers use fixed local executables and fail open; no fixed exfiltration endpoint was found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @delorenj/pjangler@1.4.3. - Review the evidence and your use of @delorenj/pjangler@1.4.3 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.
