Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Source inspection found a normal Playwright browser install hook and user-invoked documentation retrieval. The flagged network and Git behavior is consistent with the package’s knowledge ingestion functionality, with no concrete attack behavior established. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 89.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-10T02:27:20.894Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-10T02:28:14.564Z - **Download time:** 765 ms - **Static scan time:** 388 ms - **AI review time:** 52516 ms - **Total time:** 53670 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 attack was identified. The install hook installs Playwright’s Chromium browser, and exported functions retrieve documentation from caller-selected GitHub repositories, Context7, or caller-provided URLs. - **Trigger:** Package installation runs the postinstall command; documentation requests occur when consumers call the exported fetch functions. - **Impact:** The reviewed behavior supports browser setup and documentation ingestion; no credential exposure or harmful install-time mutation was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-10T02:28:14.564Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The postinstall command invokes Playwright’s Chromium installer. Fetch functions request documentation and process the returned text. - **Rationale:** Source inspection found a normal Playwright browser install hook and user-invoked documentation retrieval. The flagged network and Git behavior is consistent with the package’s knowledge ingestion functionality, with no concrete attack behavior established. - **Files touched:** package.json, dist/git-fetcher.js, dist/context7-fetcher.js, dist/fetcher.js, dist/index.js - **Network endpoints:** https://context7.com, https://github.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The postinstall hook runs Playwright’s Chromium installer., GitHub fetching clones a requested repository into a caller-provided temporary directory when invoked., Context7 fetching is limited to predefined topics and contacts the Context7 service., The public entrypoint exports the documentation fetchers; general HTML fetching accepts a caller-provided URL. - **Evidence against:** Inspected code contains no credential or environment harvesting, arbitrary shell execution, or install-time consumer project mutation., The network operations retrieve documentation and are activated through exported fetch functions. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @devflow-tools/knowledge-engine@0.18.33. - Review the evidence and your use of @devflow-tools/knowledge-engine@0.18.33 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.
