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 automatic pip installation is a meaningful install-time side effect and warrants a warning. Source inspection found no concrete attack behavior to support blocking this release. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-11T09:16:02.306Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-11T09:16:46.417Z - **Download time:** 1292 ms - **Static scan time:** 37 ms - **AI review time:** 42782 ms - **Total time:** 44111 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 install lifecycle performs a Python package installation into the user's Python environment. This is an unresolved install-time side effect; inspected source does not establish a concrete attack. - **Trigger:** Installing the npm package runs its postinstall hook; the pip command runs when Python 3 is available. - **Impact:** The install can add or alter packages in the user's Python environment and retrieve packages through pip's configured index. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-11T09:16:46.417Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook invokes pip with --user and --break-system-packages to install ToothFairyAI and supporting libraries. - **Rationale:** The automatic pip installation is a meaningful install-time side effect and warrants a warning. Source inspection found no concrete attack behavior to support blocking this release. - **Files touched:** package.json, postinstall.mjs, bin/tfcode.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** package.json runs postinstall.mjs automatically during installation., When Python is present, postinstall.mjs runs pip to install ToothFairyAI and supporting libraries into the user site, allowing system packages to be modified., The CLI forwards its arguments and environment to the selected platform binary. - **Evidence against:** The launcher selects a platform-specific optional dependency and starts its binary with inherited standard streams., Inspected Python sources use ToothFairyAI region endpoints and do not establish credential exfiltration or another concrete attack. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @toothfairyai/tfcode@2.7.3. - Review the evidence and your use of @toothfairyai/tfcode@2.7.3 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.
