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 dynamic loading is limited to the user’s Knapsack config, and the network activity reviewed serves rendering, disclosed opt-out telemetry, or local HTTPS setup. The package declares no install lifecycle hooks. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-29T16:19:06.924Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-29T16:19:46.358Z - **Download time:** 1289 ms - **Static scan time:** 556 ms - **AI review time:** 37588 ms - **Total time:** 39434 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 was identified; the reviewed network and filesystem behavior supports Knapsack’s CLI and local development features. - **Trigger:** CLI use or explicit calls to package APIs; no install hook is declared. - **Impact:** No malicious impact identified. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-29T16:19:46.358Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI can fetch rendering data from the configured Knapsack API, send disclosed runtime error telemetry that can be disabled with KS\_DISABLE\_TELEMETRY, and download mkcert from its official GitHub release during local start when the binary is missing. - **Rationale:** The dynamic loading is limited to the user’s Knapsack config, and the network activity reviewed serves rendering, disclosed opt-out telemetry, or local HTTPS setup. The package declares no install lifecycle hooks. - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert/releases/download/, https://app.knapsack.cloud ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest declares no install, preinstall, or postinstall hook., The dynamic require loads a project config file when the bootstrap function is called., Runtime telemetry is disclosed, and KS\_DISABLE\_TELEMETRY disables it., Rendering data is requested from the configured Knapsack API using the requested data ID and type., The mkcert download is conditional on running the local start flow and the binary being absent; it uses the official mkcert GitHub release URL. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @knapsack/app@4.108.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @knapsack/app@4.108.0 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.
