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. Source inspection found no install lifecycle hook. The persistence and relay connection are activated by an explicit setup command that requires a device key and match the package's bridge functionality. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-18T18:08:31.478Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-18T18:09:01.927Z - **Download time:** 1029 ms - **Static scan time:** 52 ms - **AI review time:** 29368 ms - **Total time:** 30449 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 was identified. The package provides a user-configured bridge to the declared relay, with persistence created only during explicit setup. - **Trigger:** The user runs bridgerator setup with a device key. - **Impact:** The configured relay can invoke the exposed computer tools while the bridge is running; this is the package's stated function, not an independently established attack. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-18T18:09:01.927Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Setup stores configuration, registers a per-user logon task, and starts a bridge that sends the key to the configured relay. - **Rationale:** Source inspection found no install lifecycle hook. The persistence and relay connection are activated by an explicit setup command that requires a device key and match the package's bridge functionality. - **Files touched:** package.json, src/cli.mjs, src/bridge.mjs, src/policy.mjs - **Network endpoints:** wss://mcp.bridgerator.recondeck.com/link ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json defines only start and test scripts, with no install lifecycle hook., src/cli.mjs requires the explicit setup command and a device key before configuration., Setup creates the per-user scheduled task and starts the bridge; this persistence follows the user-invoked setup path., src/bridge.mjs connects to the configured relay and sends the device key to register the bridge., src/policy.mjs hides tools that could change the bridge limits or expose engine telemetry. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to bridgerator@1.0.0. - Review the evidence and your use of bridgerator@1.0.0 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.
