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. The runtime updater checks coda-cli but installs code-agent, with elevated privileges on non-Windows systems and no confirmation step. The source does not establish a malicious payload or whether this is an intended migration, so this is an unresolved package substitution risk warranting a warning. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 82.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-24T09:52:43.722Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-24T09:54:03.127Z - **Download time:** 780 ms - **Static scan time:** 245 ms - **AI review time:** 78380 ms - **Total time:** 79405 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:** The CLI checks for a newer coda-cli release, then installs a separately named package, code-agent, globally. This creates an unresolved package substitution risk; the source does not establish that this is a verified migration. - **Trigger:** A CLI subcommand exits successfully and the release check finds a newer coda-cli version. - **Impact:** The update path can install and run lifecycle code from a different package with global privileges. - **Evidence paths:** bin/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-24T09:54:03.127Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The launcher runs a global npm install for code-agent, invoking sudo on non-Windows systems, without a confirmation prompt. - **Rationale:** The runtime updater checks coda-cli but installs code-agent, with elevated privileges on non-Windows systems and no confirmation step. The source does not establish a malicious payload or whether this is an intended migration, so this is an unresolved package substitution risk warranting a warning. - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 82.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The manifest exposes the coda CLI and has no npm install lifecycle hook., The launcher checks the coda-cli release and enters its update branch when a newer version is found., That branch installs code-agent globally, using sudo on non-Windows systems, without asking for confirmation., The update check runs after a CLI subcommand exits successfully. - **Evidence against:** The package’s declared scripts are build and typecheck; neither is an install hook., The chat feature sends prompts and settings to its configured agent service, whose bundled default is loopback. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to coda-cli@1.0.9. - Review the evidence and your use of coda-cli@1.0.9 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.
