Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Inspected source shows a coding-agent CLI with no npm install lifecycle and no hidden exfil. Residual risk is dual-use shell and GitHub binary download behavior plus minified Emscripten, WASM, and highlight.js that could not be fully AST-verified, so this is a warn rather than a clean or block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 72.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-16T16:10:26.116Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-16T16:16:37.065Z - **Download time:** 1515 ms - **Static scan time:** 2979 ms - **AI review time:** 366454 ms - **Total time:** 370949 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 install-time hook or hidden exfil chain was found. This coding-agent CLI can spawn shells and download GitHub-hosted fd and ripgrep binaries at runtime, and it ships minified example and vendor assets that could not be fully AST-parsed. - **Trigger:** npm install runs no package lifecycle scripts; these capabilities start when a user runs the CLI, uses find or grep, or loads optional examples. - **Impact:** No confirmed supply-chain compromise; users who run the agent get intended shell and tool-download power, with leftover uncertainty in unparsed minified files. - **Evidence paths:** examples/extensions/doom-overlay/doom/build/doom.js, dist/core/export-html/vendor/highlight.min.js, dist/utils/tools-manager.js, dist/core/exec.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-16T16:16:37.065Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** User-invoked coding-agent execution plus unverified minified and WASM example assets - **Rationale:** Inspected source shows a coding-agent CLI with no npm install lifecycle and no hidden exfil. Residual risk is dual-use shell and GitHub binary download behavior plus minified Emscripten, WASM, and highlight.js that could not be fully AST-verified, so this is a warn rather than a clean or block. - **Network endpoints:** https://api.github.com, https://github.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 72.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** High - **Evidence for warning:** Minified Emscripten glue in the Doom example cannot be fully AST-parsed and is paired with a WASM binary., Vendor highlight.min.js is minified Highlight.js that the scanner could not fully parse., When find or grep tools run, the package can download fd and ripgrep GitHub release archives and extract them into the agent bin directory., Shared exec and shell helpers spawn processes to run agent and extension commands after the user starts the CLI., Optional examples launch PowerShell toast notifications and call the GitHub CLI. - **Evidence against:** package.json has only clean, dev, build, copy-assets, and test scripts; there is no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., dist/index.js only re-exports the SDK and does not run a payload on import., Network use is GitHub tool downloads, LLM provider auth, and other documented product endpoints., Doom overlay, notify, and GitHub autocomplete are opt-in examples, not auto-loaded at install., Shell, file, and download behavior matches this package's stated coding-agent CLI purpose. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @leanandmean/coding-agent@0.74.1-scramjet.50. - Review the evidence and your use of @leanandmean/coding-agent@0.74.1-scramjet.50 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.
