Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: manual review; recommendation: manual review. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Inspected source shows a local MCP and code-graph CLI. The install hook is a PATH-conflict notice, credentials follow the caller DSN host, and scanner-similar chunks are catalog, model-plan, and attestation code.

The install hook is a PATH-conflict notice, credentials follow the caller DSN host, and scanner-similar chunks are catalog, model-plan, and attestation code. No confirmed covert exfiltration or unconsented install-time agent hijack remains, but a clean verdict cannot be emitted because nine required citation paths exceed the eight-citation cap. - **Trigger:** npm install runs postinstall; users later run vg commands such as serve, push, or install. - **Impact:** no confirmed malicious impact from inspected source - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-19T10:41:17.975Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** no confirmed attack chain; citation-capacity block on a clean verdict - **Rationale:** Source inspection of the install hook, DSN posts, and high-risk chunks matches a first-party local MCP CLI rather than malware, and those behaviors are user-invoked or bound to the credential host. A mark\_clean result cannot be returned because it would need nine distinct citations while only eight are allowed. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 74.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** package.json runs only scripts/postinstall.mjs at install time., postinstall looks up vg on PATH and always exits 0 after a conflict notice., Vibgrate DSN secrets are posted to the host parsed from that same DSN., Flagged chunk-WHNB3443.js is an OpenRouter model-catalog client., Flagged chunk-WGA4KUGS.js implements in-toto graph attestation hashing., Assistant MCP and skill writes run only from an explicit vg install command. A clean verdict would need nine distinct file citations, which this schema cannot hold. - **Evidence against:** The scanner labeled credential theft and prior-malware similarity on product files., vg install can write MCP configs and nudges into many third-party assistant files when the user asks., CLI startup may fetch the optional @vibgrate/relevance tarball unless --local or the kernel kill switch is set. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @vibgrate/cli@2026.826.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @vibgrate/cli@2026.826.1 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.
