Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Installing the package automatically unpacks opaque platform binaries and makes them executable. At runtime it can read local AI-provider credentials and authorizes spawned agent sessions to write shared agent-state directories. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-12T20:22:30.544Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-12T20:25:29.882Z - **Download time:** 2036 ms - **Static scan time:** 6119 ms - **AI review time:** 171182 ms - **Total time:** 179338 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:** Installing the package automatically unpacks opaque platform binaries and makes them executable. At runtime it can read local AI-provider credentials and authorizes spawned agent sessions to write shared agent-state directories. - **Trigger:** npm installation triggers postinstall; running the CLI activates its agent and credential features. - **Impact:** An opaque executable is placed in the installed package, while runtime features could expose local credentials or alter shared AI-agent state if misused. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/unpack-tools.cjs, dist/config-B0lxbtDv.cjs, dist/index-CN9GwKNK.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-12T20:25:29.882Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic native-payload extraction plus credential and shared-agent-state access. - **Rationale:** The package has a package-aligned installer, but it automatically deploys an opaque executable and combines it with sensitive local AI credential and state access. No source-grounded evidence proves active theft or destructive behavior, so a warning is proportionate. - **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/unpack-tools.cjs, tools/archives/difftastic-arm64-linux.tar.gz, tools/unpacked/difft, tools/unpacked/rg, tools/unpacked/ripgrep.node, dist/config-B0lxbtDv.cjs, dist/index-CN9GwKNK.cjs ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** Its automatic postinstall hook runs a tool-unpacking script., The hook extracts platform-selected compressed archives and marks extracted non-native files executable., Runtime code scans local Gemini credential files and reads token-like fields., Sandbox configuration grants spawned agent sessions write access to shared Codex and Claude state directories., The shipped Linux difftastic archive contains an opaque executable payload that static source review cannot validate. - **Evidence against:** The postinstall source performs local archive extraction only; it contains no network call., There is no runtime dependency on claudeputer itself., The examined launcher forwards fetch metadata to a local file descriptor rather than an external endpoint. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to claudeputer@1.1.43. - Review the evidence and your use of claudeputer@1.1.43 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.
