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 postinstall behavior is a package-aligned native CLI shim, in the same pattern as optional platform binaries, and stays inside this package plus the npm registry. Credential use is limited to npmjs.org and no agent-config or exfiltration chain is present. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-27T20:28:52.740Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-27T20:29:38.862Z - **Download time:** 1025 ms - **Static scan time:** 126 ms - **AI review time:** 44970 ms - **Total time:** 46122 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 surface was identified. postinstall sets up this package's own droid binary from the matching @factory platform package or an already installed optional dependency. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall runs node install.js after the package is installed. - **Impact:** The installed CLI uses its native binary. No foreign agent control surface, secret export, or consumer-project mutation was found. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-27T20:29:38.862Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The script resolves or downloads the same-version platform binary from registry.npmjs.org, writes it inside the package bin directory, and hardlinks the local shim. PATH issues are printed only. - **Rationale:** The postinstall behavior is a package-aligned native CLI shim, in the same pattern as optional platform binaries, and stays inside this package plus the npm registry. Credential use is limited to npmjs.org and no agent-config or exfiltration chain is present. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** postinstall runs node install.js and declares same-version @factory platform optionalDependencies., Fallback download requests the selected platform package packument only at registry.npmjs.org., NPM\_TOKEN is attached only when the request hostname includes npmjs.org., The extracted binary is written under this package bin directory and the package shim is replaced with a hard link to it., A missing global PATH entry only prints shell advice; the function does not write profile files. - **Evidence against:** Optional dependencies are sibling platform packages, not another release of @factory/cli., No writes to foreign agent configs, credential harvest, or unrelated network recipients appear in the install path. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @factory/cli@0.206.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @factory/cli@0.206.0 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.
