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 flagged install and command execution behaviors are reachable in the operator-started worker and are scoped to same-package updates and dashboard worker operations. The inspected source does not establish a concrete attack surface. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-19T17:50:14.708Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-19T17:50:51.998Z - **Download time:** 251 ms - **Static scan time:** 1254 ms - **AI review time:** 35785 ms - **Total time:** 37290 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 runs a dashboard-paired channel worker with authenticated command polling and same-package updates. - **Trigger:** The operator runs the CLI to pair or start the worker. - **Impact:** These inspected behaviors support the package’s stated worker and update functions; no unrelated credential transfer or unauthorized system mutation was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-19T17:50:51.998Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The worker uses its configured API URL and worker token for dashboard requests, polls channel operations, and checks the npm registry for newer channel-worker releases. - **Rationale:** The flagged install and command execution behaviors are reachable in the operator-started worker and are scoped to same-package updates and dashboard worker operations. The inspected source does not establish a concrete attack surface. - **Files touched:** package.json, bin/cli.js, lib/updater.js, lib/daemon.js, lib/api-client.js - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org/${PKG\_NAME}/latest, https://api.channel.tunasm.art ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest identifies this as a video pipeline worker and has no install lifecycle hook., The CLI pairs the worker with a dashboard and accepts an API URL supplied by the operator., The updater checks the npm registry and installs a newer release of this same package when an update is available., The daemon starts periodic update checks and polls worker commands through the authenticated API client., The command API lists profile, upload, and related channel worker operations consistent with the package’s stated role. - **Evidence against:** The daemon can install a newer package release at runtime and handle remote worker commands; inspected source ties these behaviors to the worker update and dashboard workflow. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to channel-worker@2.5.138. - Review the evidence and your use of channel-worker@2.5.138 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.
