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. The manifest has no install hook, and the inspected update and Facebook automation paths align with the package's worker purpose. The scanner flags did not establish credential theft, unrelated data transfer, destructive behavior, or an unrequested account action. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-19T17:48:06.692Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-19T17:49:33.947Z - **Download time:** 255 ms - **Static scan time:** 996 ms - **AI review time:** 86004 ms - **Total time:** 87255 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 inspected network and process behavior supports the worker's dashboard, update, and publishing functions. - **Trigger:** The daemon runs when started through the CLI; publishing code runs as part of a worker task. - **Impact:** No concrete malicious effect was established from these product-aligned behaviors. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-19T17:49:33.947Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The package checks for its own update and can download a browser extension from the configured dashboard. The Facebook script downloads task media and automates the Facebook publishing flow. - **Rationale:** The manifest has no install hook, and the inspected update and Facebook automation paths align with the package's worker purpose. The scanner flags did not establish credential theft, unrelated data transfer, destructive behavior, or an unrequested account action. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json defines start and dev commands and has no install lifecycle hook., The CLI starts the daemon, and its updater checks for a newer release of channel-worker from the npm registry., The daemon checks for a browser extension update through its configured dashboard when an extension path is set., The Facebook script downloads the supplied video and opens Facebook to publish it, consistent with the package's worker function. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to channel-worker@2.5.105. - Review the evidence and your use of channel-worker@2.5.105 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.
