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. This package is not conclusively malicious, but explicit CLI setup mutates global Codex configuration and ships an unauditable executable payload. No install-time execution or confirmed data exfiltration was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-19T22:18:04.699Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-19T22:27:10.128Z - **Download time:** 2026 ms - **Static scan time:** 392 ms - **AI review time:** 543009 ms - **Total time:** 545429 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:** Running the zaip init command can modify the user's global Codex configuration and deploy package templates into the selected project. The package also carries an opaque PE executable that is copied as template content. - **Trigger:** A user runs the zaip init command without --project-only. - **Impact:** The command can alter an AI-agent control surface; the executable's behavior cannot be established from source. - **Evidence paths:** dist/commands/init.js, dist/services/global-codex-config.js, templates/template-manifest.json, templates/.agents/design/zaip-design.exe - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-19T22:27:10.128Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Explicit CLI-driven Codex hook installation and binary template deployment. - **Rationale:** This package is not conclusively malicious, but explicit CLI setup mutates global Codex configuration and ships an unauditable executable payload. No install-time execution or confirmed data exfiltration was found. - **Files touched:** .codex/config.toml, .agents/design/zaip-design.exe ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The manifest exposes a user-invoked zaip CLI and has no install lifecycle hook., The init command enables global Codex configuration changes unless --project-only is selected., Global reconciliation writes a ZAIP PreToolUse hook into the user's Codex configuration., The template declares and distributes an opaque Windows executable; its PE payload has not been source-audited. - **Evidence against:** No package lifecycle script runs on npm installation., The doctor service only reads project files and checks required-file hashes; it does not execute the design executable. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @zaip-ai/cli@1.3.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @zaip-ai/cli@1.3.0 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.
