This report does not record a matching static-policy override reason. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. No confirmed malicious attack surface was established. Remote agent commands and optional persistence are the package's paired-device function and are gated by interactive setup. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-03T22:15:13.517Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-03T22:16:29.855Z - **Download time:** 1267 ms - **Static scan time:** 1017 ms - **AI review time:** 74054 ms - **Total time:** 76338 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 malicious attack surface was established. Remote agent commands and optional persistence are the package's paired-device function and are gated by interactive setup. - **Trigger:** An interactive global setup followed by device pairing and starting the bridge service. - **Impact:** A paired account can direct coding-agent work in configured repositories; no unconsented install-time control-surface mutation was found. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-03T22:16:29.855Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Authenticated Gleap bridge dispatches requested coding-agent turns. - **Rationale:** The package contains powerful remote-agent and persistence features, but source shows interactive global-install gating, explicit setup confirmation, and device-token channel authorization. No concrete malicious behavior or lifecycle self-dependency chain was found. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Final policy explanation:** The AI recommended clean, but the final policy action is warn. This report does not record a matching static-policy override reason. - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The package defines an install-time postinstall hook., The daemon accepts bridge commands to start turns and clone repositories., The optional service writes a per-user login service., The runner accepts MCP HTTP endpoints or commands supplied for a turn. - **Evidence against:** Postinstall runs setup only for interactive global installs., Background persistence is presented through an interactive confirmation., The realtime channel uses a device bearer token, and the runner removes the device token from child-agent environments., No credential harvesting, unrelated exfiltration, obfuscation, self-dependency, or foreign AI-agent configuration mutation was found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @gleapai/kai-bridge@0.2.6. - Review the evidence and your use of @gleapai/kai-bridge@0.2.6 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.
