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 hook or concrete attack behavior. The flagged dynamic code path is part of CanvasXpress function serialization, and the dependency snapshots support the CLI’s stated terminal and rendering functions. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-23T21:13:50.705Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-23T21:14:44.936Z - **Download time:** 776 ms - **Static scan time:** 2122 ms - **AI review time:** 51333 ms - **Total time:** 54231 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 behavior was identified in the inspected package source. The flagged eval supports CanvasXpress function serialization, while the CLI dependencies provide expected terminal and rendering functions. - **Trigger:** The CLI runs when a user invokes its bin command; rendering commands process supplied input or data. - **Impact:** No confirmed attack surface was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-23T21:14:44.936Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The package dispatches commands to rendering helpers and uses CanvasXpress to render charts. The inspected bundle’s eval path handles explicitly marked serialized function values. - **Rationale:** Source inspection found no install hook or concrete attack behavior. The flagged dynamic code path is part of CanvasXpress function serialization, and the dependency snapshots support the CLI’s stated terminal and rendering functions. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes a command line entrypoint and lists the package’s runtime dependencies; it configures no install lifecycle., The bundle exports CanvasXpress functionality. Its eval path is limited to parsing strings marked as serialized functions, matching the library’s function serialization code., The inspected dependency snapshots implement terminal styling, terminal clearing, and FIGfont rendering; their manifests and entry files show no install behavior., The CLI uses these dependencies for its banner and invokes rendering commands through the user-run command line entrypoint. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to canvasxpress-cli@72.7.0. - Review the evidence and your use of canvasxpress-cli@72.7.0 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.
