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 install-time remote archive staging and later native execution are concrete supply-chain risk, but the inspected source does not show an attack or unrelated destination. Warn as a staged payload carrier. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 83.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-08T11:45:03.924Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-08T11:45:36.444Z - **Download time:** 765 ms - **Static scan time:** 98 ms - **AI review time:** 31656 ms - **Total time:** 32520 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:** The install hook stages a platform native archive from the vendor release bucket. The SDK later launches the extracted executable during initialization; no concrete malicious behavior was established from the inspected JavaScript. - **Trigger:** Package installation downloads and extracts an archive; calling SDK initialization later launches the native executable. - **Impact:** A compromised or unexpected archive could supply code that runs when the SDK is initialized; the inspected source does not establish that the archive is malicious. - **Evidence paths:** setup.js, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-08T11:45:36.444Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** setup.js fetches an archive from the Recall release bucket and extracts it into the package directory; index.js spawns the resulting platform executable. - **Rationale:** The install-time remote archive staging and later native execution are concrete supply-chain risk, but the inspected source does not show an attack or unrelated destination. Warn as a staged payload carrier. - **Files touched:** setup.js, index.js - **Network endpoints:** https://recallai-desktop-sdk-releases.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 83.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The install hook runs setup.js automatically., setup.js downloads platform archives from the Recall release bucket and extracts them into the package directory., index.js starts the extracted native executable when the SDK is initialized., The inspected source shows no credential forwarding or unrelated network destination. - **Evidence against:** The download host is Recall-branded and the archive is selected using the package commit identifier., The native process starts through the SDK API, rather than during import. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @recallai/desktop-sdk@2.0.34. - Review the evidence and your use of @recallai/desktop-sdk@2.0.34 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.
