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 reviewed source does not show an automatic credential redirect or hidden payload loader. Registry requests use a configured URL, and dynamic evaluation is part of the explicit plugin sandbox workflow. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-30T20:49:24.131Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-30T20:50:09.034Z - **Download time:** 513 ms - **Static scan time:** 5960 ms - **AI review time:** 38429 ms - **Total time:** 44903 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. Registry access and plugin execution are exposed as package features. - **Trigger:** A consumer configures a plugin registry and explicitly invokes hub operations, or requests plugin installation or execution. - **Impact:** No automatic credential redirection or unrelated execution was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T20:50:09.034Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Hub requests use the configured registry URL; plugin evaluation occurs through the sandbox plugin path. - **Rationale:** The reviewed source does not show an automatic credential redirect or hidden payload loader. Registry requests use a configured URL, and dynamic evaluation is part of the explicit plugin sandbox workflow. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The package exports its library through dist entry points and exposes its CLI through bin/cli.js., PluginHub has no default registry; it requires an explicitly configured registry URL or RAG\_PLUGIN\_REGISTRY., The hub sends its API key to the configured registry URL when making a request; no fixed unofficial gateway appears in that request path., Dynamic evaluation in the bundle executes plugin code passed to the sandbox, matching the package’s plugin execution purpose. - **Evidence against:** The hub can send a configured API key as a Bearer token, so the configured registry URL determines its recipient., Plugin code is dynamically evaluated inside an isolated execution context. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @devilsdev/rag-pipeline-utils@3.0.2. - Review the evidence and your use of @devilsdev/rag-pipeline-utils@3.0.2 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.
