This report does not record a matching static-policy override reason. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. No confirmed malicious attack surface was established. Network and credential use is tied to explicit CLI integrations and the local chat product. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-08T16:25:55.236Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-08T16:27:04.847Z - **Download time:** 1025 ms - **Static scan time:** 7832 ms - **AI review time:** 60752 ms - **Total time:** 69611 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 malicious attack surface was established. Network and credential use is tied to explicit CLI integrations and the local chat product. - **Trigger:** A user runs an integration or starts the local chat panel. - **Impact:** The package can act using credentials intentionally stored for its integrations, but no covert exfiltration or install-time execution was found. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-08T16:27:04.847Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** User-directed provider API calls and local agent workflow features. - **Rationale:** The scanner’s credential and execution indicators map to explicit product features, while source inspection found no registry-install lifecycle hook, covert endpoint, or unconsented persistence. The local automation features have visible boundaries and safeguards. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Final policy explanation:** The AI recommended clean, but the final policy action is warn. This report does not record a matching static-policy override reason. - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The CLI has user-invoked integrations that retrieve vault credentials and send requests to the corresponding provider APIs., The local chat panel can use an API key and expose agent-style capabilities., The package contains a local bridge that persists agent messages. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no install, preinstall, or postinstall hook; its lifecycle entry is prepublishOnly., Credential-bearing requests are explicit command actions directed to named service APIs, not an undisclosed collection endpoint., The chat server is documented as loopback-only, and desktop opening rejects non-HTTP URL schemes, paths outside the project, and executable extensions., The bridge enforces a two-sided allowlist and rate or loop controls. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @nac3/forge-cli@1.3.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @nac3/forge-cli@1.3.1 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.
