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. Source inspection found no lifecycle hook or concrete exfiltration behavior, but the CLI performs broad project mutation and command execution on user invocation. Downgrade to warn because this is a real, user-triggered dangerous capability and static analysis coverage was incomplete. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 82.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-08T11:13:04.887Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-08T11:15:11.917Z - **Download time:** 1018 ms - **Static scan time:** 597 ms - **AI review time:** 125415 ms - **Total time:** 127030 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 automatic install-time attack surface was found. An explicit fec CLI invocation can modify the consumer project and invoke package-manager commands as part of TypeScript setup. - **Trigger:** A user runs the fec CLI, including a build or development command. - **Impact:** The command can alter the caller's package.json, create tsconfig.json, and execute npm, yarn, and npx commands in that project. - **Evidence paths:** bin/fec.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-08T11:15:11.917Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Consumer-project postinstall mutation and development dependency installation. - **Rationale:** Source inspection found no lifecycle hook or concrete exfiltration behavior, but the CLI performs broad project mutation and command execution on user invocation. Downgrade to warn because this is a real, user-triggered dangerous capability and static analysis coverage was incomplete. - **Files touched:** package.json, tsconfig.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 explicit fec CLI rewrites the consumer project's package.json to add a postinstall command., The explicit fec CLI can install missing development dependencies and run ts-patch., The build helper invokes webpack through a shell after a build command is requested., The dev-proxy command dynamically loads project configuration and starts a development container., The manifest exposes a CLI binary and has no automatic lifecycle scripts., The flagged TypeScript template contains only compiler settings. - **Evidence against:** No preinstall, install, or postinstall hook is declared by this package., The observed project mutation and command execution are reached through the user-invoked fec CLI, not package installation., No credential harvesting, secret exfiltration, stealth persistence, or reviewer-directed text was found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @redhat-cloud-services/frontend-components-config@6.14.6. - Review the evidence and your use of @redhat-cloud-services/frontend-components-config@6.14.6 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.
