No malicious install-time or unconsented foreign agent-control-surface mutation was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-06T17:12:01.473Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-06T17:12:50.097Z - **Download time:** 507 ms - **Static scan time:** 6233 ms - **AI review time:** 41883 ms - **Total time:** 48624 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The user-invoked CLI establishes a paired remote-control session that can operate on the current project. No malicious install-time or unconsented foreign agent-control-surface mutation was found. - **Trigger:** User runs codeam and pairs a session. - **Impact:** A paired CodeAgent account can access or modify the active project, consistent with the advertised remote-control feature. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/postinstall.js, dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-06T17:12:50.097Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Authenticated remote project/terminal control and optional environment synchronization. - **Rationale:** The package is an explicitly advertised, user-invoked remote-control CLI; its powerful paired-session operations and optional .env sync are product-aligned. The postinstall hook only writes to stdout, and inspection found no concrete malicious execution or unconsented install-time control-surface change. - **Files touched:** .env, .env.codeam.tmp, .env.codeam-restore.tmp, ~/.codeam/anon.json, ~/.codeam/.telemetry-notice - **Network endpoints:** https://api.codeagent-mobile.com, https://us.i.posthog.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** dist/index.js can sync project .env content to the paired CodeAgent backend after env\_write., dist/index.js accepts authenticated paired-session remote file, terminal, and git commands., dist/index.js sends opt-out telemetry to PostHog. - **Evidence against:** dist/postinstall.js only prints usage instructions., package.json declares the remote-control purpose and requires explicit codeam execution., Remote command polling uses a pairing secret in dist/index.js., No install-time file mutation, shell execution, or agent-config write was found. ## Public findings ### 1.
