The package's networked coding-agent functions run only after a user invokes the CLI. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-01T11:22:50.024Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-01T11:23:54.503Z - **Download time:** 506 ms - **Static scan time:** 5719 ms - **AI review time:** 58254 ms - **Total time:** 64479 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** No confirmed malicious attack surface is established. The package's networked coding-agent functions run only after a user invokes the CLI. - **Trigger:** A user runs a BraveCode chat or agent command. - **Impact:** The selected provider receives the user's submitted chat and agent context as part of the requested service. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-01T11:23:54.503Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** User-invoked LLM requests with permission-gated coding tools. - **Rationale:** The only declared install hook is empty, and the risky primitives belong to an explicitly invoked AI coding CLI with default permission prompts for writes and shell commands. Static inspection found no concealed install-time execution or concrete malicious chain. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The manifest defines an empty postinstall hook, so installation does not run the included setup script., The CLI defaults to a fixed Codero chat endpoint and sends chat payloads only during runtime requests., Command, file, and network tools are part of the user-invoked coding-agent feature and are permission-gated by default., Project AGENTS.md creation is limited to the explicit bravecode init command and refuses an existing file. - **Evidence against:** No lifecycle script executes the unused scripts/postinstall.js file., No source evidence shows credential harvesting, hidden exfiltration, foreign agent-config mutation, or runtime self-dependency., The remote model receives prompts and tool definitions as the CLI's stated, user-invoked service behavior. ## Public findings ### 1.
