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 package is a coding-agent CLI and library with no manifest lifecycle scripts. The apparent gist credential flow is session sharing initiated from the interactive mode and uses GitHub CLI to create a private gist; no automatic credential forwarding was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-05T08:28:00.895Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-05T08:28:58.067Z - **Download time:** 1008 ms - **Static scan time:** 6763 ms - **AI review time:** 49400 ms - **Total time:** 57172 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 package provides a coding-agent CLI and library; its session sharing and command execution capabilities are tied to user-invoked features or configured values. - **Trigger:** The CLI runs when launched; session sharing requires an interactive share command, and subagent creation requires a tool call. - **Impact:** No automatic credential theft, unrelated data collection, or concealed execution was found in the inspected paths. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-05T08:28:58.067Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Session sharing exports the session to a temporary HTML file and invokes \`gh gist create --public=false\`. Configured command values can execute through a shell when resolved. - **Rationale:** The package is a coding-agent CLI and library with no manifest lifecycle scripts. The apparent gist credential flow is session sharing initiated from the interactive mode and uses GitHub CLI to create a private gist; no automatic credential forwarding was found. - **Files touched:** dist/modes/interactive/interactive-mode.js, dist/core/tools/subagents.js, dist/core/resolve-config-value.js - **Network endpoints:** gist.github.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes a coding-agent CLI and library entry points., Session sharing runs only through an interactive share action, exports the session, then asks GitHub CLI to create a private gist., The added subagent tool starts a child only when invoked and with a supplied task., Shell commands in config values are explicitly configured values resolved for API keys or headers. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @diffexai/diffex@0.2.7. - Review the evidence and your use of @diffexai/diffex@0.2.7 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.
