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. This package creates a meaningful supply-chain risk by automatically installing and later executing an unverified remote native payload. The source does not show broader project mutation, credential theft, or other concrete malicious behavior, so it should be warned rather than blocked. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-09T09:10:51.941Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-09T09:11:44.794Z - **Download time:** 765 ms - **Static scan time:** 115 ms - **AI review time:** 51972 ms - **Total time:** 52853 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:** Installation retrieves an opaque native archive and extracts it into the package. A later SDK initialization launches the resulting executable. - **Trigger:** npm installation on macOS or Windows, followed by a consumer calling init. - **Impact:** A compromised or replaced release-hosted archive could run native code in the installing user's dependency tree. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, setup.js, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-09T09:11:44.794Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote native payload download, extraction, and execution. - **Rationale:** This package creates a meaningful supply-chain risk by automatically installing and later executing an unverified remote native payload. The source does not show broader project mutation, credential theft, or other concrete malicious behavior, so it should be warned rather than blocked. - **Files touched:** desktop\_sdk\_macos.tar, desktop\_sdk\_win32.tar, Frameworks, gstreamer-1.0, desktop\_sdk\_macos\_exe, agent-windows.exe - **Network endpoints:** recallai-desktop-sdk-releases.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The install hook automatically downloads a platform archive from a remote S3 host., The downloaded archive is extracted into the package without a checksum or signature verification step., At runtime the SDK launches a native executable installed from that archive. - **Evidence against:** The installer limits its writes and removals to named paths beneath the package directory., The JavaScript wrapper uses the launched process for declared desktop SDK commands; no JavaScript credential harvesting or unrelated network exfiltration was found., The package has no runtime dependency on another release of itself and no AI-agent control-surface mutation. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @recallai/desktop-sdk@2.0.31. - Review the evidence and your use of @recallai/desktop-sdk@2.0.31 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.
