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 did not substantiate the scanner’s credential-exfiltration or runtime-install claims: the CLI’s external request checks version metadata, and its package update is user-triggered. No install lifecycle hook or concrete attack behavior was identified. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 85.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-18T03:50:11.037Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-18T03:51:26.838Z - **Download time:** 2548 ms - **Static scan time:** 4058 ms - **AI review time:** 69194 ms - **Total time:** 75801 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 in the inspected source. The package presents a command-line gateway, and its inspected external request checks the package registry for an update version. - **Trigger:** Running the command-line application; updating requires a menu or tray update action. - **Impact:** No credential disclosure or other harmful effect was established in the inspected source. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-18T03:51:26.838Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The inspected code reads release metadata from the npm registry, checks local gateway endpoints, and launches a global package update after the update action. - **Rationale:** Source inspection did not substantiate the scanner’s credential-exfiltration or runtime-install claims: the CLI’s external request checks version metadata, and its package update is user-triggered. No install lifecycle hook or concrete attack behavior was identified. - **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/cli/cli.ts, scripts/cli/cli-launcher.cjs, src/providers/discovery/catalog/catalog-blob.ts - **Network endpoints:** registry.npmjs.org, 127.0.0.1 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 85.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes command-line entrypoints and shows development, packaging, and setup scripts; it has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The inspected CLI uses the npm registry for version checks and runs a global update only after a menu or tray update action. Its other inspected network calls target the local gateway., The flagged catalog file describes a generated offline model catalog. The cited runtime and support paths identify gateway, routing, authentication, provider, and observability components; the inspected excerpts establish no attack behavior. - **Evidence against:** Scanner labels alleged credential exfiltration and runtime installation, but inspected CLI network requests check package version or contact the local gateway; the global package update is tied to a user-selected update action., No concrete credential transfer, install-time mutation, or malicious behavior was established in the inspected sources. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to cartethyia@2.3.2. - Review the evidence and your use of cartethyia@2.3.2 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.
