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 install-time behavior is limited to creating the package’s workflow state file in the invoking project. The flagged setup, shell, and git capabilities are consistent with the package’s stated workflow and development tooling purpose; the reviewed source showed no malicious data collection or unrelated transmission. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-31T01:46:48.030Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-31T01:47:13.922Z - **Download time:** 517 ms - **Static scan time:** 652 ms - **AI review time:** 24722 ms - **Total time:** 25892 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 was identified; the package provides workflow state and development workflow tools. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall creates a project workflow-state file; setup and repository actions require explicit commands or tool calls. - **Impact:** A workflow state file may be added to the invoking project during installation. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T01:47:13.922Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The install hook writes initial workflow state. The reviewed paths showed no automatic credential collection or unrelated network transmission. - **Rationale:** The install-time behavior is limited to creating the package’s workflow state file in the invoking project. The flagged setup, shell, and git capabilities are consistent with the package’s stated workflow and development tooling purpose; the reviewed source showed no malicious data collection or unrelated transmission. - **Files touched:** .state/workflow-state.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The postinstall hook runs install.js, which creates an initial .state/workflow-state.json in the invoking project unless that file already exists., The install script uses INIT\_CWD or the current directory and skips state creation when the path is inside node\_modules., The setup script writes AGENTS.md as part of an explicit setup operation; it is not called by the postinstall hook., The commit handler checks workflow readiness before staging changes, and commit/push occurs through that handler. - **Evidence against:** The postinstall hook does make a project-level filesystem change by creating .state/workflow-state.json. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @programinglive/dev-workflow-mcp-server@1.13.15. - Review the evidence and your use of @programinglive/dev-workflow-mcp-server@1.13.15 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.
