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. No concrete credential theft, install-time mutation, persistence, or self-dependent lifecycle chain was found. Runtime downloading of latest executable assets and command-capable bundled code warrant a warning rather than a clean verdict. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 82.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-17T17:26:18.816Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-17T17:28:33.513Z - **Download time:** 1270 ms - **Static scan time:** 3227 ms - **AI review time:** 130198 ms - **Total time:** 134697 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:** At runtime, the coding-agent can download and install fd or ripgrep if missing. It also exposes command execution to tools and extensions; the included Doom example has a shell bridge. - **Trigger:** Running agent features that call command execution or ensure a missing helper tool. - **Impact:** A compromised upstream release asset or untrusted command input could execute code with the user's privileges. - **Evidence paths:** dist/core/exec.js, dist/utils/tools-manager.js, dist/utils/shell.js, examples/extensions/doom-overlay/doom/build/doom.js, examples/extensions/notify.ts, examples/extensions/github-issue-autocomplete.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-17T17:28:33.513Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Runtime command execution and automatic helper-binary download. - **Rationale:** No concrete credential theft, install-time mutation, persistence, or self-dependent lifecycle chain was found. Runtime downloading of latest executable assets and command-capable bundled code warrant a warning rather than a clean verdict. - **Files touched:** dist/core/exec.js, dist/utils/tools-manager.js, dist/utils/shell.js, examples/extensions/doom-overlay/doom/build/doom.js, examples/extensions/notify.ts, examples/extensions/github-issue-autocomplete.ts - **Network endpoints:** api.github.com, github.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 82.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The runtime can spawn commands, including an optional shell mode., When fd or rg is absent, runtime code downloads a latest GitHub release, extracts it, and installs its binary., The bundled Doom WebAssembly loader includes a Node shell-command bridge., Example extensions execute PowerShell notifications and GitHub CLI commands during agent events. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or self-dependency., The downloader is limited to fd and ripgrep release assets and has an offline opt-out., The flagged Highlight.js file identifies itself as a BSD-3-Clause third-party library. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @leanandmean/coding-agent@0.74.1-scramjet.52. - Review the evidence and your use of @leanandmean/coding-agent@0.74.1-scramjet.52 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.
