Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The reviewed behavior matches a Prefactor CLI: authentication and API calls use the selected service, while installation and updates require explicit commands. The hostname and platform are sent as login metadata during that user-invoked flow. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-31T22:56:48.386Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-31T22:57:41.877Z - **Download time:** 516 ms - **Static scan time:** 2452 ms - **AI review time:** 50522 ms - **Total time:** 53491 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 attack identified; the package provides a Prefactor CLI and a user-invoked managed updater. - **Trigger:** Network requests occur when the user runs CLI commands such as login, install, or update; no install hook was found. - **Impact:** No automatic credential theft, unrelated data transfer, or unrequested account action was identified. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T22:57:41.877Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Login uses the selected service base URL, and the updater downloads project releases from GitHub and checks their SHA-256 checksum. - **Rationale:** The reviewed behavior matches a Prefactor CLI: authentication and API calls use the selected service, while installation and updates require explicit commands. The hostname and platform are sent as login metadata during that user-invoked flow. - **Network endpoints:** app.prefactorai.com, github.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes a CLI binary and library entry points, with no install lifecycle script., Install and update are explicit CLI commands; the updater downloads releases from the project’s GitHub releases and verifies their SHA-256 checksum., Authenticated API clients use a selected profile or PREFACTOR\_API\_TOKEN with its configured base URL., The login command sends client version, platform, and hostname to the selected service’s login endpoint only when the user runs \`prefactor login\`., No automatic credential collection, unrelated data transfer, or unrequested account action was identified. - **Evidence against:** The explicit login flow includes the machine hostname and platform in its request metadata. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @prefactor/cli@0.6.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @prefactor/cli@0.6.0 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.
