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. Source review found no install lifecycle hook or confirmed malicious behavior. The scanner’s account-action locations resolve to local search indexing, while the cloud inventory transfer is gated by analytics configuration and contains resource counts. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-18T02:34:07.790Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-18T02:35:40.192Z - **Download time:** 1003 ms - **Static scan time:** 2125 ms - **AI review time:** 89273 ms - **Total time:** 92402 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 confirmed attack surface was identified. The flagged runtime code builds local search indexes, and cloud inventory reporting requires enabled analytics configuration. - **Trigger:** A build invokes cloud inventory reporting; development and build commands invoke local search indexing. - **Impact:** The inspected paths do not establish credential disclosure or an unrequested account action. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-18T02:35:40.192Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The inventory reporter sends resource counts only when analytics is enabled and configured. Search indexing writes generated index files into the project output. - **Rationale:** Source review found no install lifecycle hook or confirmed malicious behavior. The scanner’s account-action locations resolve to local search indexing, while the cloud inventory transfer is gated by analytics configuration and contains resource counts. - **Files touched:** package.json, dist/eventcatalog.cjs, eventcatalog/src/components/Search/SearchModal.tsx, bin/eventcatalog.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes the EventCatalog CLI and its scripts contain no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The flagged runtime ranges implement local search-index generation, rebuild it when Markdown files change, and write index output under the project’s output directory; they do not perform account actions., Cloud inventory reporting returns unless analytics is enabled and has a tracking ID and write key; when enabled, it posts resource counts to the configured or package-default endpoint., The build flow calls the gated inventory reporter, and the flagged SearchModal source passes a result name through its search-highlighting helper. - **Evidence against:** Build-time cloud inventory reporting transmits resource counts when analytics is explicitly configured; the inspected code does not send credentials. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @eventcatalog/core@4.8.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @eventcatalog/core@4.8.0 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.
