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. Inspected source shows a postinstall hook that requires previously recorded telemetry consent before sending limited install metadata. The flagged distribution files show documentation links and landing-page rendering, with no concrete attack behavior identified. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-11T12:36:27.902Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-11T12:36:51.484Z - **Download time:** 1019 ms - **Static scan time:** 601 ms - **AI review time:** 21961 ms - **Total time:** 23582 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 in the inspected source. The postinstall hook performs consent-gated install telemetry. - **Trigger:** Installing the package; telemetry runs only when the recorded Extenshi configuration has telemetry set to true and no opt-out or CI guard applies. - **Impact:** No confirmed attack surface was established; the observed network request is telemetry, not a credential or file exfiltration path. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-11T12:36:51.484Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook sends package and runtime metadata with an anonymous identifier to PostHog, then exits. - **Rationale:** Inspected source shows a postinstall hook that requires previously recorded telemetry consent before sending limited install metadata. The flagged distribution files show documentation links and landing-page rendering, with no concrete attack behavior identified. - **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.cjs, dist/development-guide.js, dist/landing-sections.js - **Network endpoints:** https://eu.i.posthog.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The install hook is registered as postinstall, but its network activity is gated on recorded telemetry consent and exits when consent is absent., When enabled, the hook sends install metadata and an anonymous identifier to its configured PostHog host; the source does not show credential collection., The flagged development guide defines links to Extenshi documentation and tools., The flagged landing-sections file renders caller-provided landing form data. - **Evidence against:** No inspected source establishes credential theft, malicious persistence, destructive behavior, or an attack on an AI-agent control surface. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @extenshi/mcp@0.12.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @extenshi/mcp@0.12.0 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.
