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. Source inspection did not confirm the scanner’s credential-exfiltration claim: the flagged embedding path downloads a public model, while worker routing uses the configured provider URL. The manifest has no consumer install hook, and the inspected agent setup prompts before changing configuration, so mark the package clean. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-19T21:38:59.148Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-19T21:41:00.739Z - **Download time:** 6680 ms - **Static scan time:** 18909 ms - **AI review time:** 96001 ms - **Total time:** 121591 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 concrete attack surface was identified in the inspected source. The flagged embedding code retrieves a public model for local use, and the inspected agent configuration update requires user confirmation. - **Trigger:** The embedding download occurs when the embedding backend needs the model; agent configuration changes occur through the interactive setup command. - **Impact:** No unauthorized credential transfer or agent control change was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-19T21:41:00.739Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The model file is downloaded from Hugging Face. The setup command asks before writing the agent configuration and preserves it when the user declines. - **Rationale:** Source inspection did not confirm the scanner’s credential-exfiltration claim: the flagged embedding path downloads a public model, while worker routing uses the configured provider URL. The manifest has no consumer install hook, and the inspected agent setup prompts before changing configuration, so mark the package clean. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json declares only a prepublishOnly script; it has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The CLI asks before updating the user’s agent configuration, and declines leave it unchanged., The flagged embedding path downloads a public model file from Hugging Face for local use; the worker routes requests to the configured provider URL., The inspected source did not establish credential theft, hidden agent configuration changes, or another concrete attack. - **Evidence against:** Static hints label credential exfiltration, but the inspected embedding path contains no credential handling and its download is model setup., The package’s prepublishOnly command runs a build and a worker command; it is not a consumer install hook. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @tekmidian/pai@0.70.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @tekmidian/pai@0.70.0 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.
