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 has no install lifecycle hook, but its explicit plugin-add command installs a selected package and writes MCP configuration for local agents. Under the agent integration policy, this guarded capability warrants a warning; the inspected source does not establish malicious intent. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 85.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-09T09:41:37.343Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-09T09:42:34.831Z - **Download time:** 772 ms - **Static scan time:** 2836 ms - **AI review time:** 53880 ms - **Total time:** 57488 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:** An explicit plugin-add command installs a selected package and registers its MCP server in local agent configuration. This is a guarded agent capability, and no confirmed attack was identified. - **Trigger:** The user invokes the plugin-add CLI command. - **Impact:** The registered MCP server can be started by the configured agent; this behavior is explicit and package-feature aligned. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js, dist/plugin.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T09:42:34.831Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The command installs the selected package and writes MCP registration into agent configuration. - **Rationale:** The package has no install lifecycle hook, but its explicit plugin-add command installs a selected package and writes MCP configuration for local agents. Under the agent integration policy, this guarded capability warrants a warning; the inspected source does not establish malicious intent. - **Files touched:** dist/index.js, dist/plugin.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 85.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The manifest exposes a runtime entrypoint and declares no install lifecycle hook., The CLI routes the explicit plugin-add command to pluginAdd., pluginAdd installs the selected package and registers its MCP server with agent CLIs., The plugin code writes MCP configuration to the user's Claude configuration file. - **Evidence against:** The configuration change is reached through an explicit CLI command, not an install hook., No evidence inspected established credential theft, covert execution, or a malicious network destination. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @sentropic/h2a-runtime@0.97.9. - Review the evidence and your use of @sentropic/h2a-runtime@0.97.9 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.
