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. Static inspection did not establish an attack, but required platform-specific native modules remain unreadable and unsupported by available executable analysis. Manual review is needed to resolve their behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-27T15:33:22.404Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-27T15:37:31.335Z - **Download time:** 1299 ms - **Static scan time:** 6220 ms - **AI review time:** 241411 ms - **Total time:** 248931 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 JavaScript. Platform-specific native modules remain unresolved, so their behavior cannot be cleared. - **Trigger:** Use of the package on a platform that loads one of its native modules. - **Impact:** The unresolved native behavior prevents a supported clean or malicious verdict. - **Evidence paths:** .lpm-inspection-uAwBzY/3-e40df72050ed.txt - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-27T15:37:31.335Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The native files could not be inspected as text, and the available Windows x64 analysis reports an unmapped native target. - **Rationale:** Static inspection did not establish an attack, but required platform-specific native modules remain unreadable and unsupported by available executable analysis. Manual review is needed to resolve their behavior. - **Files touched:** dist/node\_modules/@diffexai/diffex-tui/native/darwin/prebuilds/darwin-x64/darwin-modifiers.node, dist/node\_modules/@diffexai/diffex-tui/native/darwin/prebuilds/darwin-arm64/darwin-modifiers.node, dist/node\_modules/@diffexai/diffex-tui/native/win32/prebuilds/win32-arm64/win32-console-mode.node, .lpm-inspection-uAwBzY/3-e40df72050ed.txt ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** The manifest includes the dist directory, which contains platform-specific native modules., The available Windows x64 native analysis reports an unmapped native target, leaving its behavior unresolved., The inspected package-manager operations handle subprocess results, and the find operation normalizes paths. - **Evidence against:** The inspected manifest excerpt shows no lifecycle scripts., The clipboard native loader is conditional on platform and display availability. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @diffexai/diffex@0.4.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @diffexai/diffex@0.4.0 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.
