The CLI's remote-control, credential-linking, and file-review functions run through explicit CLI commands and align with its stated purpose. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-14T20:30:58.103Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-14T20:32:12.571Z - **Download time:** 515 ms - **Static scan time:** 7681 ms - **AI review time:** 66272 ms - **Total time:** 74468 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** No malicious install-time behavior was confirmed. The CLI's remote-control, credential-linking, and file-review functions run through explicit CLI commands and align with its stated purpose. - **Trigger:** User runs codeam, codeam pair, or codeam link. - **Impact:** A consenting user may send linked credentials and project diffs to the CodeAgent Mobile service. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/postinstall.js, dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-14T20:32:12.571Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** user-invoked remote agent supervision and project-diff relay - **Rationale:** Direct inspection found a transparent remote-agent companion, not covert execution or unconsented install-time control-surface mutation. Scanner findings reflect its intended runtime capabilities and bundled PTY support. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** Runtime can upload explicitly linked agent credentials to its API., A started session watches project changes and posts diff hunks for remote review., Telemetry is enabled by default unless opted out. - **Evidence against:** postinstall only prints usage text; it performs no filesystem or network action., Credential upload is exposed as the explicit \`codeam link\` command., No install-time foreign AI-agent configuration mutation or stealth payload execution found. ## Public findings ### 1.
