Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: manual review; recommendation: manual review. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The static hints do not establish malicious behavior: the manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and initialization invokes npm as part of an explicit project setup flow. Source for selected runtime dependencies remains unavailable, so this inspection cannot support a clean verdict. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 78.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-27T11:02:45.648Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-27T11:04:01.563Z - **Download time:** 1295 ms - **Static scan time:** 504 ms - **AI review time:** 74116 ms - **Total time:** 75915 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 concrete attack was established in the inspected package source. Review remains unresolved because source for selected runtime dependencies, including the CLI framework and process execution library, is unavailable in this snapshot. - **Trigger:** Running the CLI activates its command framework and command-specific runtime dependencies. - **Impact:** An attack cannot be confirmed or excluded across these unresolved dependency boundaries. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/devvit.js, dist/commands/init.js, dist/commands/publish.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-27T11:04:01.563Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The manifest selects dependencies whose source could not be inspected; the available package source does not resolve their behavior. - **Rationale:** The static hints do not establish malicious behavior: the manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and initialization invokes npm as part of an explicit project setup flow. Source for selected runtime dependencies remains unavailable, so this inspection cannot support a clean verdict. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 78.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** The manifest exposes a command-line entry point and declares selected runtime dependencies whose source is unavailable in this snapshot., Project dependency installation is performed by the explicit init flow; the inspected code runs npm in the newly initialized project directory., Publishing runs the project’s configured build script before authentication and upload; this is a runtime boundary whose imported dependency source remains unresolved. - **Evidence against:** The manifest contains no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook. The detected npm install invocation is inside project initialization, not an install-time package hook., The CLI entry point starts the command framework, and the inspected source does not establish covert collection or an unrelated recipient. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @devvit/cli@0.15.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @devvit/cli@0.15.1 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.
