Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The install-time binary download and execution match the package’s stated purpose, and the inspected installer verifies the archive checksum before extraction. No concrete attack behavior was found in the inspected source. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-10T11:15:17.740Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-10T11:15:51.291Z - **Download time:** 1037 ms - **Static scan time:** 52 ms - **AI review time:** 32462 ms - **Total time:** 33551 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 attack was identified. Installation fetches the package’s versioned native binary and checks its archive checksum before extraction. - **Trigger:** Package installation runs the postinstall hook; invoking the lain command also prepares and starts the binary. - **Impact:** This supplies and runs the package’s native MCP server; inspected source shows no unrelated system mutation or data exfiltration. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-10T11:15:51.291Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The installer downloads release files from the project’s GitHub releases and checks the archive against the downloaded SHA-256 list before extracting it into a cache. - **Rationale:** The install-time binary download and execution match the package’s stated purpose, and the inspected installer verifies the archive checksum before extraction. No concrete attack behavior was found in the inspected source. - **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/install.js, scripts/runtime.js, bin/lain.js - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/spuentesp/lain/releases ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The package’s postinstall invokes its installer, which skips downloading in CI unless forced and when npm scripts are disabled., The installer downloads versioned releases from the project’s GitHub repository and verifies the archive against its listed SHA-256 checksum., The launcher runs the downloaded Lain binary with the caller’s arguments and working directory, consistent with the package’s stated MCP server purpose. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @spuentesp/lain-mcp@0.9.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @spuentesp/lain-mcp@0.9.0 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.

Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.postinstall = node scripts/install.js ``` ### 2. Medium: Ambiguous Install Lifecycle Script - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 75.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Install-time lifecycle script is not statically allowlisted and needs review. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.postinstall = node scripts/install.js ``` ### 3. Low: Scripts Present - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 100.0% Package declares npm scripts. ### 4. Medium: Network - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 75.0% Package source references network APIs. ### 5. Medium: Environment Vars - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 75.0% Package source references environment variables. ### 6. Low: Filesystem - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 70.0% Package source references filesystem APIs. ### 7. High: Unverified Remote Native Payload Install - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Install-time source downloads a native archive from a fixed external host without transport verification, extracts it, and installs an executable payload. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.postinstall = node scripts/install.js Install-time code downloads an unverified remote native executable, stages it locally, activates an executable path, and exposes it to process execution. L4: const fs = require('fs'); L5: const https = require('https'); L6: const os = require('os'); L7: const path = require('path'); L8: const { execFileSync, spawnSync } = require('child_process'); L9: ...
