Static policy retained a warning. The static scanner classified the package as malicious with confidence of at least 85%. A critical static finding has confidence of at least 90%. A high or critical static finding has no usable source path. These conditions do not mean that the AI confirmed malicious behavior. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. No attack was identified. The published bin is a launcher that starts this package's platform binary when the user runs the CLI. The install script only adjusts a pinned native dependency inside the package. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 78.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-26T07:29:11.748Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-26T07:32:13.174Z - **Download time:** 7950 ms - **Static scan time:** 58845 ms - **AI review time:** 114629 ms - **Total time:** 181426 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 published bin is a launcher that starts this package's platform binary when the user runs the CLI. The install script only adjusts a pinned native dependency inside the package. - **Trigger:** The user runs the xyne command, or npm install executes the package postinstall script. - **Impact:** Inspected entry points show ordinary CLI startup and local dependency setup, with no confirmed credential theft, remote payload, or foreign agent-control write. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-26T07:32:13.174Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The launcher spawns the resolved platform binary with the user's arguments. Postinstall may bun-add a pinned OpenTUI native package when the Bun and Node architectures differ. - **Rationale:** The launcher and postinstall stay inside this CLI's own binary, local patches, and a pinned native optional dependency. Agent, pet, and localhost-daemon behavior is reached when the user runs those features, so no concrete install-time attack remains. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 78.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Final policy explanation:** The AI recommended clean. Static policy retained a warning. The static scanner classified the package as malicious with confidence of at least 85%. A critical static finding has confidence of at least 90%. A high or critical static finding has no usable source path. These conditions do not mean that the AI confirmed malicious behavior. - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json points the xyne bin at dist/index.js and limits postinstall to local scripts plus a native optional dependency., The launcher resolves the matching @xyne platform binary and spawns it with the caller arguments and inherited stdio., postinstall exits unless the Bun architecture differs, then runs bun add --ignore-scripts for a pinned @opentui/core variant inside the package root., The macOS pet host compiles embedded Swift only when that feature runs, writing under the temp directory and ~/.xyne., node\_modules/jimp/dist/browser/index.js is the Jimp image library, including bitmap composite checks., The goal tool, localhost daemon, and Pi agent-dir compatibility code are runtime CLI features, not install-time control-surface writes. - **Evidence against:** Postinstall can patch files under this package node\_modules and install one pinned native binding., The pet overlay and local daemon write under ~/.xyne and can spawn a detached local process when the user starts those features. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @xyne/xyne-cli@0.4.12. - Review the evidence and your use of @xyne/xyne-cli@0.4.12 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.
