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. The browser-session account-hijack and credential-redirect claims were not confirmed: sign-in is an explicit OAuth flow to the package’s service. However, the CLI silently reports authenticated human-account activity after API commands, which warrants a warning as undisclosed runtime telemetry. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-01T04:37:55.050Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-01T04:38:45.525Z - **Download time:** 502 ms - **Static scan time:** 6638 ms - **AI review time:** 43334 ms - **Total time:** 50475 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:** Undisclosed runtime telemetry reports human-account activity to the package’s API service. - **Trigger:** After a user runs a spec-derived API command while authenticated as a human account. - **Impact:** The service can observe account activity; no credential theft or account mutation was identified. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T04:38:45.525Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI sends an authenticated POST with no custom body to /api/presence/activity. - **Rationale:** The browser-session account-hijack and credential-redirect claims were not confirmed: sign-in is an explicit OAuth flow to the package’s service. However, the CLI silently reports authenticated human-account activity after API commands, which warrants a warning as undisclosed runtime telemetry. - **Network endpoints:** api.ambiguous.ai, api.devambi.cc ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** After spec-derived API commands, the CLI triggers an activity beacon., The beacon sends an authenticated POST to /api/presence/activity when a token is present and the account is human; it skips agent accounts., The default API hosts are api.ambiguous.ai and, for staging, api.devambi.cc. - **Evidence against:** The beacon sends no custom request body, and it is sent only to the package’s API service., Browser sign-in is an explicit auth login flow using the Ambiguous Workspace OAuth service., The package is presented as a CLI for managing Ambiguous Workspaces. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to ambiguous@0.9.12. - Review the evidence and your use of ambiguous@0.9.12 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.
