Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The lifecycle hook performs a concrete, intrusive global CLI replacement, so it warrants a warning. Source inspection found no concrete malicious chain beyond that behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-09T11:07:44.172Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-09T11:08:30.042Z - **Download time:** 3031 ms - **Static scan time:** 251 ms - **AI review time:** 42587 ms - **Total time:** 45870 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:** Installation can replace a pre-existing global npm \`bohr\` executable with this package's shim. No confirmed credential theft, remote payload fetch, or AI-agent control-surface mutation was found. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall, particularly when a global \`bohr\` command already exists. - **Impact:** Can disrupt or supersede another package's \`bohr\` command. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, install.js, run.js, bin/bohr-linux-amd64, CHANGELOG.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-09T11:08:30.042Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Unconditional global CLI symlink replacement - **Rationale:** The lifecycle hook performs a concrete, intrusive global CLI replacement, so it warrants a warning. Source inspection found no concrete malicious chain beyond that behavior. - **Files touched:** install.js, run.js, bin/bohr-darwin-amd64, bin/bohr-darwin-arm64, bin/bohr-linux-amd64, bin/bohr-linux-arm64 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** package.json runs postinstall via install.js., install.js calls \`npm bin -g\`, deletes an existing global \`bohr\` link, and replaces it., The replacement occurs without checking ownership of the prior command. - **Evidence against:** install.js contains no network, credential, or environment harvesting., run.js only dispatches the selected bundled binary when the user invokes \`bohr\`., No JavaScript eval, dynamic loading, or AI-agent configuration writes found., Bundled binaries appear to be platform CLI artifacts; observed endpoint strings are Bohrium/DP Tech-aligned. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @dptech-corp/bohr-cli@2.5.23. - Review the evidence and your use of @dptech-corp/bohr-cli@2.5.23 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.
