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. The inspected lifecycle hook installs Chromium, and the network code retrieves documentation from its named providers for ingestion. The flagged GitHub process execution is tied to a requested repository and documentation paths; no concrete attack behavior was identified. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-10T02:27:20.869Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-10T02:27:56.296Z - **Download time:** 757 ms - **Static scan time:** 428 ms - **AI review time:** 34242 ms - **Total time:** 35427 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 postinstall hook installs the package’s Chromium browser dependency; the network code retrieves documentation from GitHub or Context7 for ingestion. - **Trigger:** Package installation triggers the Playwright postinstall command; documentation requests occur when the corresponding fetch functions are called. - **Impact:** No concrete harmful effect was established from the inspected source. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-10T02:27:56.296Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The GitHub fetcher clones a requested repository and reads Markdown under requested paths. The Context7 fetcher sends fixed topic queries to the Context7 API. - **Rationale:** The inspected lifecycle hook installs Chromium, and the network code retrieves documentation from its named providers for ingestion. The flagged GitHub process execution is tied to a requested repository and documentation paths; no concrete attack behavior was identified. - **Files touched:** package.json, dist/git-fetcher.js, dist/context7-fetcher.js - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/${repo}.git, https://context7.com/api/v2/context ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json runs Playwright’s Chromium installer during postinstall., dist/git-fetcher.js clones a requested GitHub repository and reads Markdown files from requested documentation paths., dist/context7-fetcher.js fetches documentation from context7.com using the requested library ID and fixed topic queries. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @devflow-tools/knowledge-engine@0.18.34. - Review the evidence and your use of @devflow-tools/knowledge-engine@0.18.34 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.
