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 install hook runs Playwright's Chromium installer, consistent with the package's browser fetching functionality. Reviewed runtime network code uses caller-supplied URLs or an explicitly configured API base URL and key; no malicious behavior was identified. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-02T10:12:58.723Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-02T10:13:47.791Z - **Download time:** 757 ms - **Static scan time:** 366 ms - **AI review time:** 47944 ms - **Total time:** 49068 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 identified; the install hook installs Playwright's Chromium browser and runtime network calls support caller-requested fetching and API operations. - **Trigger:** Installation runs the postinstall hook; runtime requests occur when exported fetch or API methods are called. - **Impact:** Browser assets are installed for package functionality; no unauthorized data collection or account action was identified. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-02T10:13:47.791Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Playwright installs Chromium, while HTTP requests use caller-supplied URLs or a configured DevFlow API base URL. - **Rationale:** The install hook runs Playwright's Chromium installer, consistent with the package's browser fetching functionality. Reviewed runtime network code uses caller-supplied URLs or an explicitly configured API base URL and key; no malicious behavior was identified. ### 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 hook runs Playwright's Chromium installer, consistent with the package's browser-based fetching support., The public entry point re-exports knowledge engine and fetch functions; it does not invoke them at import time., The HTML fetcher sends requests to a URL supplied by its caller., The DevFlow API client sends its explicitly supplied API key to its explicitly supplied base URL. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @devflow-tools/knowledge-engine@0.19.2. - Review the evidence and your use of @devflow-tools/knowledge-engine@0.19.2 before allowing it.
