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. The scanner's execution hints are not proof of an attack: the inspected child-process behavior installs browser support through a named CLI command. Source for several declared first-party runtime dependencies was unavailable, which prevents clearing the package and requires manual review. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 78.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-24T12:20:05.265Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-24T12:21:15.668Z - **Download time:** 4083 ms - **Static scan time:** 4784 ms - **AI review time:** 61535 ms - **Total time:** 70403 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 concrete attack behavior was established in the inspected CLI. Several declared first-party runtime dependencies remain unreviewed, so their behavior cannot be cleared. - **Trigger:** The CLI is launched when a user invokes the package's command; no package install lifecycle trigger is declared. - **Impact:** No attack impact was confirmed; unreviewed dependency behavior prevents a clean verdict. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/cli.js, dist/cli-main.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-24T12:21:15.668Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The inspected child-process call invokes Playwright's browser installer. The behavior of unavailable first-party dependencies remains unresolved. - **Rationale:** The scanner's execution hints are not proof of an attack: the inspected child-process behavior installs browser support through a named CLI command. Source for several declared first-party runtime dependencies was unavailable, which prevents clearing the package and requires manual review. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 78.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** package.json exposes a CLI and library entrypoints and declares no install lifecycle script., The inspected child-process call runs the Playwright browser installer; a named CLI command exposes browser installation options., The CLI imports several declared first-party runtime packages whose source was unavailable for this review. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to agent-qa@0.2.1. - Review the evidence and your use of agent-qa@0.2.1 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.
