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. Review flagged AI-agent configuration or capability changes. This remains warn-only unless evidence shows foreign-agent hijack through preinstall/install/postinstall, hidden persistence, exfiltration, remote code execution, or other concrete malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-02T10:12:43.563Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-02T10:14:55.228Z - **Download time:** 2540 ms - **Static scan time:** 105 ms - **AI review time:** 129019 ms - **Total time:** 131665 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:** The explicit provision command installs agent plugins into the active Claude configuration profile. This is a user-invoked agent configuration capability; no malicious install-time control hijack was established. - **Trigger:** The user runs takkub provision. - **Impact:** Installed plugins can change agent behavior in the selected profile. No covert attack was confirmed. - **Evidence paths:** npm/bin/takkub.js, dist/agent\_takkub-2.2.2-py3-none-any.whl, npm/scripts/postinstall.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-02T10:14:55.228Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The Python dispatcher invokes plugin installation through the Claude CLI with an explicit configuration directory, preserving an existing caller override. - **Rationale:** Inspected source does not substantiate the scanner's malicious verdict: automatic installation performs application bootstrap, while plugin provisioning requires a separate user command. The explicit agent configuration mutation warrants a warning under the supplied policy, without evidence supporting a publication block. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The CLI forwards user arguments to the bundled Python command dispatcher., The wheel contains plugin installation code; inspected Python source routes the provision command to Claude plugin installation using the active configuration profile., Postinstall directs the user to run provision separately rather than invoking that command automatically. - **Evidence against:** Postinstall provisions a package-owned virtual environment and creates application launchers; inspected hooks do not mutate foreign agent configuration., Plugin installation defaults to an isolated configuration profile and preserves an existing caller override., No concrete credential exfiltration, concealed payload execution, or runtime self-dependency was identified. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to agent-takkub@2.2.2. - Review the evidence and your use of agent-takkub@2.2.2 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.
