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 inspected source implements a transparent platform executable installer and launcher with package-local writes and npm-aligned authentication. Download hardening limitations do not establish an active attack or unrestricted operator-controlled credential forwarding. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-01T06:07:15.450Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-01T06:10:44.243Z - **Download time:** 762 ms - **Static scan time:** 126 ms - **AI review time:** 207904 ms - **Total time:** 208793 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 was identified in the inspected installer, platform resolver, or launcher. Their behavior installs and invokes the package's platform executable. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall prepares the executable; invoking droid launches it. - **Impact:** Package-local executable setup and execution; no foreign agent configuration mutation or demonstrated credential exfiltration was identified. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-01T06:10:44.243Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The installer resolves an optional platform dependency or downloads its matching npm release, replaces the package-local shim, and checks the executable version. - **Rationale:** The inspected source implements a transparent platform executable installer and launcher with package-local writes and npm-aligned authentication. Download hardening limitations do not establish an active attack or unrestricted operator-controlled credential forwarding. - **Files touched:** bin/droid - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org/${encodedName} ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json invokes install.js after installation and lists version-matched platform packages, without a runtime self-dependency., install.js selects a Factory platform package and obtains its matching release through registry.npmjs.org., install.js uses NPM\_TOKEN for npm authentication; no operator-configured credential destination was identified., Installer writes and shim replacement remain inside the package's bin directory., platform.js resolves platform executables, and bin/droid launches the selected executable with command arguments. - **Evidence against:** Fallback downloads lack an explicit integrity check, and the npm authentication hostname check uses substring matching., Platform executable dependencies are outside this snapshot, so their internals were not inspected. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @factory/cli@0.231.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @factory/cli@0.231.0 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.
