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. Static inspection shows a legitimate server package with disclosed, package-aligned license/auth/telemetry calls and app data writes, not install-time malware or hidden payload behavior. The scanner's dangerous-delta and network/env findings map to normal server configuration and runtime features. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-02T16:35:39.969Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-02T16:36:53.174Z - **Download time:** 511 ms - **Static scan time:** 2360 ms - **AI review time:** 70333 ms - **Total time:** 73205 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 found. Runtime network and file operations are expected for a self-hosted licensed server and are operator/user invoked or configurable. - **Trigger:** Running the CLI/server and using license/admin/nest APIs. - **Impact:** Expected server persistence of app data and license settings; no unconsented install-time execution or exfiltration identified. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.js, dist/chunk-QMLAXQES.js, dist/chunk-43DOX4LH.js, README.md, CONFIGURATION.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-02T16:36:53.174Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** self-hosted context governance server with license validation, telemetry, database, and nest storage - **Rationale:** Static inspection shows a legitimate server package with disclosed, package-aligned license/auth/telemetry calls and app data writes, not install-time malware or hidden payload behavior. The scanner's dangerous-delta and network/env findings map to normal server configuration and runtime features. - **Files touched:** DATA\_ROOT/community.db, DATA\_ROOT/.env, DATA\_ROOT/nests/\, NEST\_STORAGE\_ROOT/\ - **Network endpoints:** https://app.promptowl.ai/api/license/validate, https://app.promptowl.ai/api/telemetry/ingest, https://app.promptowl.ai/api/auth/device, https://app.promptowl.ai/api/user/me ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** dist/chunk-43DOX4LH.js sends license validation and telemetry to configurable PROMPTOWL\_API\_URL., dist/chunk-43DOX4LH.js persists PROMPTOWL\_KEY to config.ENV\_FILE\_PATH on explicit /license/install., dist/index.js starts server immediately from bin/main and schedules license safety polling, drift scanning, and telemetry. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no install/postinstall lifecycle; prepublishOnly only runs build before publishing., dist/index.js and dist/chunk-43DOX4LH.js behavior is a self-hosted ContextNest server with auth, nests, MCP, license, telemetry routes., Network endpoints are package-aligned: PromptOwl auth/device, user/me, license/validate, telemetry/ingest., No child\_process, shell execution, eval/vm/Function, native binary loader, or obfuscated payload found in reviewed dist sources., File writes/deletes are scoped to DATA\_ROOT/NEST\_STORAGE\_ROOT imports, nest deletion, database files, and configured .env settings., README.md and CONFIGURATION.md disclose license requirement, PromptOwl API URL, telemetry, and ENV\_FILE\_PATH persistence. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @promptowl/contextnest-community@1.7.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @promptowl/contextnest-community@1.7.0 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.
