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. No confirmed attack surface was identified in the inspected package scripts. The lifecycle behavior installs and launches the package's CLI binary from its dedicated Grok directory. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-29T20:36:02.372Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-29T20:36:45.715Z - **Download time:** 1262 ms - **Static scan time:** 52 ms - **AI review time:** 42028 ms - **Total time:** 43343 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 surface was identified in the inspected package scripts. The lifecycle behavior installs and launches the package's CLI binary from its dedicated Grok directory. - **Trigger:** Installing the package runs its post-install script; invoking the CLI runs the launcher. - **Impact:** No credential collection, network transmission, foreign agent-control mutation, or destructive behavior was identified. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-29T20:36:45.715Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The scripts extract a platform binary locally and pass user-supplied arguments to that binary. - **Rationale:** The inspected lifecycle and launcher code are package-aligned local CLI installation behavior. No concrete malicious behavior was found. - **Files touched:** bin/postinstall.js, bin/grok-bootstrap.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The package lifecycle invokes its local installer script., The installer decompresses or copies a bundled platform binary to a temporary local file., The launcher starts the resolved local binary with the user's command-line arguments and inherited standard I/O. - **Evidence against:** The install hook writes a CLI binary and configuration beneath the dedicated Grok home directory. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @kingingwang/grok@1.0.45-beff0aee. - Review the evidence and your use of @kingingwang/grok@1.0.45-beff0aee 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.
