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. The static malicious finding overstates package-aligned Git and telemetry behavior; command output is not sent to a third party. Policy still calls for a warning for explicit user-command AI-agent configuration mutation. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-10T01:11:02.191Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-10T01:12:30.851Z - **Download time:** 754 ms - **Static scan time:** 4759 ms - **AI review time:** 83146 ms - **Total time:** 88660 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 PAPI setup/init can add this vendor's MCP server configuration to selected project or user AI-client config files. Runtime telemetry persists an install ID and posts product usage metadata. - **Trigger:** User runs \`papi-server setup\` or invokes the \`init\` MCP tool; telemetry occurs while the server runs with configured credentials. - **Impact:** Adds a PAPI MCP endpoint to selected clients and may modify/push user project Git state through invoked workflow tools. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-10T01:12:30.851Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** explicit AI-client configuration provisioning, Git workflow automation, and telemetry - **Rationale:** The static malicious finding overstates package-aligned Git and telemetry behavior; command output is not sent to a third party. Policy still calls for a warning for explicit user-command AI-agent configuration mutation. - **Files touched:** .mcp.json, .cursor/mcp.json, .vscode/mcp.json, ~/.codex/config.toml, ~/.hermes/config.yaml, ~/.papi/install-id.json - **Network endpoints:** https://getpapi.ai, https://guewgygcpcmrcoppihzx.supabase.co, https://registry.npmjs.org/@papi-ai/server/latest ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** dist/index.js: CLI setup writes a PAPI MCP entry with API credentials to .mcp.json., dist/index.js: init tool can write PAPI MCP configuration for several AI clients, including user-scoped Codex/Hermes configs., dist/index.js: runtime creates a persistent ~/.papi/install-id.json and sends telemetry when enabled., dist/index.js: release/workflow functions invoke git commands and can commit or push project changes. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook., Configuration mutation is exposed through explicit setup/init commands or MCP tools, not package installation., Telemetry payload construction contains tool/milestone metadata and project identifiers; no command output or harvested file content is sent., Network hosts are package-aligned PAPI/Supabase services and npm registry., No eval, arbitrary shell string execution, payload download/execution, or credential harvesting found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @papi-ai/server@0.7.72. - Review the evidence and your use of @papi-ai/server@0.7.72 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.
