Service persistence is behind an explicit CLI command; no covert attack chain was confirmed. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-20T13:54:30.703Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-20T13:56:13.353Z - **Download time:** 1258 ms - **Static scan time:** 2694 ms - **AI review time:** 98697 ms - **Total time:** 102650 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Install hooks can alter the host by installing build/browser dependencies. Service persistence is behind an explicit CLI command; no covert attack chain was confirmed. - **Trigger:** npm installation; service persistence requires an explicit awsb service install command. - **Impact:** May install OS packages, Chromium, and related system dependencies during installation. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/ensure-build-tools.mjs, scripts/ensure-playwright-browser.mjs, dist/services/cli-commands.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-20T13:56:13.353Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** root-gated package-manager and Playwright installer execution - **Rationale:** The package performs substantial unconsented host mutation during npm lifecycle execution, warranting a warning. Source inspection found no concrete malicious objective or exfiltration chain. - **Files touched:** scripts/ensure-build-tools.mjs, scripts/ensure-playwright-browser.mjs, dist/index.js, /etc/systemd/system/awsb.service, ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.agentsworkstudio.awsb.plist - **Network endpoints:** https://npmmirror.com/mirrors/playwright ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** Install-time preinstall executes OS package managers as root when build tools are absent., Postinstall automatically invokes Playwright to download Chromium and may install its system dependencies., The package exposes explicit CLI service installation that can create systemd/launchd persistence. - **Evidence against:** Lifecycle behavior is declared in package.json and scripts are readable., Preinstall is limited to named build-tool dependencies for node-pty., No credential harvesting, covert exfiltration, remote code loader, or foreign AI-agent config mutation was confirmed. ## Public findings ### 1.
