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 postinstall changes project agent configuration, but the inspected source ties that change to the package’s first-party core-directory guard and confines it to a detected Chisel theme. The hook’s scope and cleanup behavior are limited, so no concrete attack surface remains. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-17T04:03:13.122Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-17T04:09:11.227Z - **Download time:** 761 ms - **Static scan time:** 168 ms - **AI review time:** 357175 ms - **Total time:** 358105 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 was identified. The postinstall performs the toolkit’s documented setup in a detected Chisel theme, including adding a hook that guards writes to the theme’s core directory. - **Trigger:** Installing the package runs its postinstall script; the installer acts when it finds a Chisel theme. - **Impact:** The hook can prevent edits to the theme’s core directory. The inspected behavior does not establish credential collection, external communication, or broad agent control. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-17T04:09:11.227Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The installer copies bundled toolkit files and adds a project-level Claude hook that checks file paths and blocks writes inside core/. - **Rationale:** The postinstall changes project agent configuration, but the inspected source ties that change to the package’s first-party core-directory guard and confines it to a detected Chisel theme. The hook’s scope and cleanup behavior are limited, so no concrete attack surface remains. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json runs install.js from postinstall, and the installer returns without writing in dry-run mode., The installer targets a detected Chisel theme and copies the package’s bundled skills, rules, and hook files there., The installed Claude hook checks the requested file path and blocks writes only inside the theme’s core directory., The settings helper adds a PreToolUse hook that runs the bundled guard; it does not add unrelated approval grants., Uninstall removes the toolkit’s managed content and hook while preserving other settings entries., The package manifest is written under the project’s .claude directory as installation bookkeeping. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @xfive/chisel-ai-toolkit@1.2.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @xfive/chisel-ai-toolkit@1.2.0 before allowing it.
