Static policy retained a warning. A high or critical static finding has no usable source path. These conditions do not mean that the AI confirmed malicious behavior. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. No confirmed attack was identified. Inspected behavior implements Termux compatibility, local token storage, and package updates. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-03T21:19:41.591Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-03T21:20:49.770Z - **Download time:** 762 ms - **Static scan time:** 118 ms - **AI review time:** 67298 ms - **Total time:** 68179 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 confirmed attack was identified. Inspected behavior implements Termux compatibility, local token storage, and package updates. - **Trigger:** npm installation activates platform setup; CLI startup activates compatibility patches and an optional-to-disable update check. - **Impact:** Expected local setup and package updates occur; inspected source establishes no credential exfiltration or agent control hijack. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-03T21:20:49.770Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The package installs compatibility dependencies, redirects platform-specific library and binary calls, and loads the upstream CLI. - **Rationale:** Direct inspection supports compatibility-wrapper behavior, with no concrete malicious chain or foreign agent control mutation. Scanner similarity labels are unsupported by the inspected executable behavior. - **Network endpoints:** github.com, registry.npmjs.org ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Final policy explanation:** The AI recommended clean. Static policy retained a warning. A high or critical static finding has no usable source path. These conditions do not mean that the AI confirmed malicious behavior. - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json declares a postinstall compatibility setup and an upstream Claude Code dependency, with no runtime self-dependency., postinstall.js limits setup to Termux, installing compatibility binaries and creating a local storage directory., src/patches/oauth-storage.js defines local token storage and exposes fallback functions without network forwarding or agent instruction changes., src/auto-update.js updates this package through npm on CLI startup; an environment variable or command flag disables updates., Sharp and ripgrep patches redirect library loading and binary execution to platform-compatible alternatives., scripts/verify-install.js checks installed tools; the CLI entrypoint dynamically imports the resolved upstream Claude Code CLI. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to claude-code-termux@1.0.185. - Review the evidence and your use of claude-code-termux@1.0.185 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.
