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 does not automatically publish during installation or pulling, but its first-pull instructions explicitly direct an agent to publish a change without owner approval. That conditional agent capability is a concrete residual risk, while the source does not establish an autonomous attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-18T13:43:26.510Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-18T13:44:48.393Z - **Download time:** 1026 ms - **Static scan time:** 949 ms - **AI review time:** 79907 ms - **Total time:** 81883 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:** First-time site pulls print instructions directing Claude to make a site change and publish it without asking. Publishing is a separate authenticated action, so the package does not publish by itself, but an agent following the instructions could change the live site without renewed owner approval. - **Trigger:** A user or agent runs \`app pull\` for a starter or a site that has not previously been pulled. - **Impact:** If followed, the workflow can put an agent-made change live without asking the owner first. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli/app.js, dist/cli/publishing.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-18T13:44:48.393Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI prints a first-change workflow that directs the agent to edit the project and run \`app publish\`; that command submits a signed-in publish request to Pattern. - **Rationale:** The package does not automatically publish during installation or pulling, but its first-pull instructions explicitly direct an agent to publish a change without owner approval. That conditional agent capability is a concrete residual risk, while the source does not establish an autonomous attack. - **Files touched:** src/theme/theme.ts - **Network endpoints:** https://onpattern.app ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** package.json exposes \`dist/cli/app.js\` as a command and lists development scripts, with no install lifecycle hook shown., The \`.claude\` references in \`dist/cli/app.js\` and \`dist/cli/publishing.js\` are formatter input and an empty-folder exclusion, not agent configuration writes., After an explicit \`app pull\`, first-time or starter pulls return onboarding instructions through \`firstChange\`., Those instructions direct Claude to change the site and publish the first change “without asking.”, Publishing sends a signed-in POST to the app’s publishes endpoint; the default dashboard is \`https://onpattern.app\`., The CLI’s publish command is described as building and putting the app live. - **Evidence against:** The CLI does not invoke publishing as part of the pull flow; the publish instruction is printed as a next step and requires a separate command., Pull and publish operate on the selected Pattern site, and publishing uses the Pattern dashboard. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @trypattern/sdk@0.1.16. - Review the evidence and your use of @trypattern/sdk@0.1.16 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.
