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 flagged code installs temporary Claude hooks during the cloud Claude workflow, and its status-line request targets a loopback server created for that session. The manifest declares no install-time hook, and the temporary settings are cleaned up on shutdown. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-31T02:29:31.801Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-31T02:30:14.829Z - **Download time:** 1019 ms - **Static scan time:** 1490 ms - **AI review time:** 40518 ms - **Total time:** 43028 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 identified. The cloud Claude feature installs temporary hooks that report status-line context to its local hook server. - **Trigger:** An explicit cloud Claude session started by the user. - **Impact:** The metadata supports the requested cloud agent session; no unrelated collection or execution was identified. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T02:30:14.829Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The status-line script posts model and session metadata to the hook server bound to loopback; the temporary settings are removed during cleanup. - **Rationale:** The flagged code installs temporary Claude hooks during the cloud Claude workflow, and its status-line request targets a loopback server created for that session. The manifest declares no install-time hook, and the temporary settings are cleaned up on shutdown. - **Files touched:** \/.claude/adit-cloud-\.settings.local.json - **Network endpoints:** 127.0.0.1:\/hook ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest has no install or lifecycle hook; its scripts are build and typecheck only., The Claude hook setup is part of the cloud Claude command and uses the local hook server’s endpoint., The hook server binds to 127.0.0.1 on an ephemeral port., The status-line POST contains model, effort, session, transcript path, and working directory metadata; the endpoint is provided by that local server., The temporary hook configuration is cleaned up when the cloud Claude session stops. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @varveai/adit-cli@1.0.8. - Review the evidence and your use of @varveai/adit-cli@1.0.8 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.
