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 package does not run lifecycle code on installation, but its CLI makes a persistent change to the consuming project's postinstall script. Classify this as a warning for user-invoked lifecycle setup; the inspected code does not show an active malicious chain. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 82.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-09T10:52:59.815Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-09T10:54:32.668Z - **Download time:** 2536 ms - **Static scan time:** 395 ms - **AI review time:** 89921 ms - **Total time:** 92853 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:** Invoking the fec CLI can modify the consumer project's package manifest by adding a postinstall command that runs ts-patch. This creates a persistent project lifecycle action, but the inspected code does not establish a malicious payload or data theft. - **Trigger:** A user invokes the fec CLI. - **Impact:** Future installs in that project run the added ts-patch setup command. - **Evidence paths:** bin/fec.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T10:54:32.668Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI checks project dependencies, adds ts-patch install to the project's postinstall script when absent, and writes the modified package.json. - **Rationale:** The package does not run lifecycle code on installation, but its CLI makes a persistent change to the consuming project's postinstall script. Classify this as a warning for user-invoked lifecycle setup; the inspected code does not show an active malicious chain. - **Files touched:** package.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 82.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package has no install lifecycle scripts, so its project changes do not run automatically during package installation., Running the fec CLI can insert a ts-patch command into the consumer project's postinstall script and rewrite its package.json., The build command launches webpack in the selected project directory, consistent with the package's build-tool purpose., The interceptor server fetches Chrome service data from the project-aligned Red Hat Insights GitHub repository. - **Evidence against:** The package manifest declares no lifecycle scripts., The inspected shell execution is tied to the build command, and the package exposes that command through its CLI. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @redhat-cloud-services/frontend-components-config@6.14.13. - Review the evidence and your use of @redhat-cloud-services/frontend-components-config@6.14.13 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.
