The user-invoked CLI starts a localhost application and creates its own data directory. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-17T20:39:41.563Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-17T20:41:25.885Z - **Download time:** 27138 ms - **Static scan time:** 10364 ms - **AI review time:** 66820 ms - **Total time:** 104322 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** No confirmed malicious attack surface. The user-invoked CLI starts a localhost application and creates its own data directory. - **Trigger:** Explicit execution of the objectexplorer CLI - **Impact:** No unconsented exfiltration or persistence established. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, cli.js, server/WebServer.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-17T20:41:25.885Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** local web server and browser launch - **Rationale:** The scanner findings stem from bundled dependencies and guarded development translation code. Source inspection found no concrete malicious chain. - **Files touched:** cli.js, server/WebServer.mjs ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** Manifest has no lifecycle hooks; it exposes a user-invoked CLI., CLI creates a local user-data directory and serves localhost., Browser launch only opens the local server URL., OpenAI translation router is guarded by development mode plus a data directory. - **Evidence against:** No install-time execution, credential harvesting, foreign endpoint exfiltration, or persistence was found., Static OpenAI/client-process matches are bundled application functionality; no active production path invokes them. ## Public findings ### 1.
