Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: manual review; recommendation: manual review. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Inspected install and session code shows package-local binary unpacking and user-started Claude hook settings, not a confirmed attack. A clean decision cannot be published because required citation coverage exceeds the eight-citation limit. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 62.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-27T19:55:18.844Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-27T19:56:27.782Z - **Download time:** 2781 ms - **Static scan time:** 7255 ms - **AI review time:** 58901 ms - **Total time:** 68938 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:** Inspected install and session code shows package-local binary unpacking and user-started Claude hook settings, not a confirmed attack. A clean decision cannot be published because required citation coverage exceeds the eight-citation limit. - **Trigger:** Citation capacity blocks mark\_clean after source inspection; no separate attack trigger was established. - **Impact:** No confirmed malicious impact. Remaining uncertainty is incomplete citation coverage of every required path, not an observed exploit chain. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-27T19:56:27.782Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall unpacks bundled archives inside the package, and session start writes temporary hook settings under the app home directory for a local Claude process. - **Rationale:** The inspected lifecycle and agent paths are consistent with a session client that unpacks local tools and applies temporary Claude hook settings only when the user starts a session. A clean verdict is not allowed because eighteen required citations cannot fit in eight sourceCitations entries. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 62.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** package.json postinstall only runs scripts/unpack-tools.cjs; there is no preinstall or install script., unpack-tools extracts bundled difftastic and ripgrep archives into the package tools directory for the current platform., Claude session hook JSON is written under the app home tmp/hooks directory and passed to Claude with --settings when a user starts a session., Clean publication would require citations of 18 paths, but sourceCitations allows at most 8, so a clean verdict cannot be finalized. - **Evidence against:** No self-dependency, credential send to an unrelated host, or install-time write to ~/.claude, ~/.codex, or ~/.gemini was found., The hinted .claude and .codex references read local session or settings files for the session client, or apply an explicit gemini model set command. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to claudeputer@1.1.72. - Review the evidence and your use of claudeputer@1.1.72 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.
