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 static hints for shell execution and runtime installation are consistent with explicit CLI features such as browser installation. However, the CLI calls a first-party agent dependency whose source is unavailable, leaving a material runtime path unresolved; manual review is appropriate without inferring an attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 78.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-25T06:17:42.895Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-25T06:18:30.906Z - **Download time:** 1032 ms - **Static scan time:** 4810 ms - **AI review time:** 42168 ms - **Total time:** 48011 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 was identified in the inspected package source. Behavior of the first-party agent dependency remains unresolved because its source is not included in the snapshot. - **Trigger:** Use of the CLI paths that invoke the first-party agent dependency. - **Impact:** The dependency’s effects cannot be determined from this snapshot; no specific harmful effect is established. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/cli-main.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-25T06:18:30.906Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI delegates agent invocation to a declared dependency whose implementation could not be inspected here. - **Rationale:** The static hints for shell execution and runtime installation are consistent with explicit CLI features such as browser installation. However, the CLI calls a first-party agent dependency whose source is unavailable, leaving a material runtime path unresolved; manual review is appropriate without inferring an attack. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 78.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** package.json declares multiple first-party runtime dependencies whose source is unavailable in this snapshot., The CLI imports an agent invocation function from one of those dependencies, so its behavior is part of the package’s runtime path., The flagged browser installer launches the package’s own installer with selected browser arguments. - **Evidence against:** The inspected browser-install code forwards explicit selection arguments to the package’s installer; this does not establish hidden payload execution., The manifest exposes a CLI entry point and runtime API exports, but the inspected sources do not establish a concrete attack. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to agent-qa@0.2.3. - Review the evidence and your use of agent-qa@0.2.3 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.
