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 postinstall hook retrieves and executes a release artifact that is outside the published npm tarball. No confirmed malicious payload is present in the inspected package source. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-29T08:04:39.309Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-29T08:05:30.823Z - **Download time:** 514 ms - **Static scan time:** 74 ms - **AI review time:** 50924 ms - **Total time:** 51514 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 postinstall hook retrieves and executes a release artifact that is outside the published npm tarball. No confirmed malicious payload is present in the inspected package source. - **Trigger:** npm installation invokes the postinstall hook. - **Impact:** A party able to control the selected release source could supply code executed during installation. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/ccb-npm-install.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-29T08:05:30.823Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The installer selects a configurable base URL, downloads an archive and checksum file, extracts the archive, then runs its install script with Bash. - **Rationale:** This is a staged remote-payload installation capability activated by postinstall. It warrants a warning, but the inspected source alone does not establish malicious intent or an active attack. - **Files touched:** .ccb-release, bin/ccb-npm-install.js - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/SeemSeam/claude\_codex\_bridge/releases/download/v${version} ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The package automatically runs its installer after npm installation., The installer accepts an environment-selected release base URL and downloads a release archive plus its checksum file from that location., The downloaded archive is extracted into the package-managed release directory and its install script is run with Bash., The checksum check does not establish an independent trust boundary because the archive and checksum file come from the same selected base URL. - **Evidence against:** The default download location is the named project’s GitHub releases URL., The installer scopes extraction to its own .ccb-release directory. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @seemseam/ccb@8.7.4. - Review the evidence and your use of @seemseam/ccb@8.7.4 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.
