## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No source-confirmed attack surface could be established because package files were unreadable in the provided environment.

- **Trigger:** Unknown

- **Impact:** Unknown

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-15T01:50:50.381Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** Unverified

- **Rationale:** Read-only source inspection was attempted but the execution environment could not create a process, so no package file contents could be verified. Scanner hints alone are insufficient for a malicious verdict.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Manual Review

- **Confidence:** 96.0%

- **Recommended action:** manual\_review

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** High
