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 a platform binary from GitHub and makes it executable. The downloaded code is later launched by the CLI shim; the install step also adds a package-owned Claude skill. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-25T19:10:52.871Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-25T19:11:45.299Z - **Download time:** 1021 ms - **Static scan time:** 36 ms - **AI review time:** 51370 ms - **Total time:** 52428 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 a platform binary from GitHub and makes it executable. The downloaded code is later launched by the CLI shim; the install step also adds a package-owned Claude skill. - **Trigger:** npm installation runs the postinstall hook; invoking scu launches the downloaded binary. - **Impact:** A compromised or substituted release asset could execute when the user invokes the CLI. No confirmed malicious payload is present in the inspected package source. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, install.js, bin/scu.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-25T19:11:45.299Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The installer fetches a release asset, permits installation without a checksum when checksums cannot be fetched, writes it under bin, and marks it executable. - **Rationale:** The postinstall remote executable chain has no mandatory integrity anchor in the package, creating a concrete staged-payload risk. The available source does not show theft, destruction, or an unrelated recipient, so blocking is not supported. - **Files touched:** bin/scu, ~/.claude/skills/scu-cli/SKILL.md - **Network endpoints:** github.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package runs install.js automatically through a postinstall hook., The installer downloads a release asset and writes it as an executable; checksum verification is skipped when the checksum file cannot be fetched., The CLI shim executes the installed binary with user-supplied arguments., The installer also copies a skill into the user's Claude skills directory unless an environment variable disables it. - **Evidence against:** The download endpoint is a release path for the package's stated repository., No credential harvesting, unrelated endpoint, shell command, obfuscation, or destructive action was found in the inspected JavaScript. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @the-brotherhood-of-scu/scu-cli@0.6.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @the-brotherhood-of-scu/scu-cli@0.6.0 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.
