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 shows a Playwright browser setup hook and caller-invoked documentation retrieval. The inspected behavior provides no concrete evidence of malicious activity. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-17T08:48:04.660Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-17T08:48:38.133Z - **Download time:** 2058 ms - **Static scan time:** 351 ms - **AI review time:** 31063 ms - **Total time:** 33473 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 surface was identified. The install hook sets up the browser dependency, and the inspected network functions retrieve documentation through exported APIs. - **Trigger:** Package installation runs the postinstall hook; runtime retrieval occurs when a caller invokes the exported fetch functions. - **Impact:** No malicious or unconsented behavior was established in the inspected source. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-17T08:48:38.133Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook runs Playwright's Chromium installer. Runtime fetches retrieve a caller-provided URL or documentation from Context7. - **Rationale:** Source inspection shows a Playwright browser setup hook and caller-invoked documentation retrieval. The inspected behavior provides no concrete evidence of malicious activity. - **Files touched:** package.json, dist/index.js, dist/fetcher.js, dist/context7-fetcher.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The postinstall command installs Chromium through Playwright and tolerates installation failure., The package exports document-fetching APIs that accept a URL, and the fetcher requests that URL., Context7 retrieval constructs requests to the fixed Context7 service for library documentation. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @devflow-tools/knowledge-engine@0.18.70. - Review the evidence and your use of @devflow-tools/knowledge-engine@0.18.70 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.
