Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The flagged credential flow is not present: provider credentials remain with the selected local provider, and the package's observed telemetry goes to PostHog with an opt-out. The manifest has no install hook, and the remote-agent capability is tied to an explicit CLI command. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-30T11:46:20.930Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-30T11:47:45.418Z - **Download time:** 506 ms - **Static scan time:** 7290 ms - **AI review time:** 76691 ms - **Total time:** 84488 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 identified; observed network activity is usage telemetry and package-related functionality. - **Trigger:** Telemetry runs during CLI commands; a coding-agent provider runs when the user invokes the agent feature. - **Impact:** No source evidence shows credentials being redirected to an unrelated host or agent tools being exposed remotely by default. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T11:47:45.418Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI sends an anonymous install ID and allowlisted usage properties to eu.i.posthog.com. The agent feature launches a selected local provider with the user's environment. - **Rationale:** The flagged credential flow is not present: provider credentials remain with the selected local provider, and the package's observed telemetry goes to PostHog with an opt-out. The manifest has no install hook, and the remote-agent capability is tied to an explicit CLI command. - **Network endpoints:** https://eu.i.posthog.com/capture/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes the CLI and library but declares no install lifecycle hook., The agent feature is described as a user-invoked command; it launches the selected local provider and passes it the existing environment., CLI telemetry sends an anonymous install ID and allowlisted usage data to PostHog, and can be disabled by environment variables or configuration., The README links to telemetry documentation; no credential redirection to an unrelated host was found. - **Evidence against:** Runtime telemetry is enabled by default outside CI and includes command and aggregate usage metrics., The CLI can launch coding-agent providers with the user's environment when the agent feature is used. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to aislop@0.19.1. - Review the evidence and your use of aislop@0.19.1 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.
