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. Installation fetches an unbundled platform release, extracts it inside the package, and runs its installer. The downloaded payload is outside the inspected npm tarball and can execute during postinstall. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-27T15:06:56.568Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-27T15:08:12.248Z - **Download time:** 761 ms - **Static scan time:** 91 ms - **AI review time:** 74826 ms - **Total time:** 75680 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 fetches an unbundled platform release, extracts it inside the package, and runs its installer. The downloaded payload is outside the inspected npm tarball and can execute during postinstall. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall - **Impact:** A compromised release endpoint or redirect can run code during package installation. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/ccb-npm-install.js, bin/ccb-npm-runner.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-27T15:08:12.248Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** remote payload download, extraction, and shell execution - **Rationale:** No direct credential theft, exfiltration, or foreign agent-control mutation is present in the inspected wrapper. However, automatic installation executes a remotely downloaded payload whose checksum comes from the same source, leaving a material staged-payload risk. - **Files touched:** bin/ccb-npm-install.js, .ccb-release, .ccb-install.lock - **Network endpoints:** github.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The postinstall hook runs automatically during npm installation., The installer downloads a platform archive and checksum from GitHub at install time., It extracts the downloaded archive and executes its install.sh with bash., The checksum is fetched from the same remote location, so it does not independently authenticate the payload. - **Evidence against:** The only default download host is the package-aligned GitHub repository release path., The inspected npm wrapper contains no credential harvesting or exfiltration logic. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @seemseam/ccb@8.6.11. - Review the evidence and your use of @seemseam/ccb@8.6.11 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.
