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. Source supports a warning for explicit agent configuration mutation and persistent execution capability. The absence of registry-install hooks and the explicit activation gates do not support blocking this release as malicious. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-04T03:38:42.860Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-04T03:42:32.459Z - **Download time:** 1016 ms - **Static scan time:** 5733 ms - **AI review time:** 222849 ms - **Total time:** 229599 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:** Explicit setup capabilities modify Claude agent permissions, hooks, and statusline execution. These warrant a capability warning; no confirmed malicious attack was established. - **Trigger:** Calling the MCP setup tool or invoking the statusline helper with --install. - **Impact:** Agent sessions can subsequently allow PAPI tools and execute configured hooks or the statusline command without repeating setup. The statusline command can resolve a later CLI release. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js, dist/statusline.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-04T03:42:32.459Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Setup persists wildcard PAPI tool permissions and project hooks; statusline installation persists a command that invokes npx. - **Rationale:** Source supports a warning for explicit agent configuration mutation and persistent execution capability. The absence of registry-install hooks and the explicit activation gates do not support blocking this release as malicious. - **Files touched:** .claude/settings.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook and no runtime self-dependency., The flagged location in dist/backfill-cycle-metrics.js queries Git history for documentation paths rather than modifying agent configuration., The explicit setup tool in dist/index.js adds wildcard PAPI tool permissions to project Claude settings and can register a frontend design hook., The statusline helper writes a command invoking npx into user Claude settings only when explicitly invoked with --install; existing statusline entries are preserved. - **Evidence against:** No confirmed credential theft, hidden payload execution, or malicious install-time mutation was established., Statusline authentication uses caller-supplied credentials or the bearer configured for the same MCP endpoint. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @papi-ai/server@0.402.35. - Review the evidence and your use of @papi-ai/server@0.402.35 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.
