Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. No attack surface was identified. Install only prints a usage banner, and the flagged Claude path logic looks up local binaries for a user-run CLI. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 82.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-27T14:33:09.591Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-27T14:34:57.976Z - **Download time:** 1014 ms - **Static scan time:** 5573 ms - **AI review time:** 101797 ms - **Total time:** 108385 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:** No attack surface was identified. Install only prints a usage banner, and the flagged Claude path logic looks up local binaries for a user-run CLI. - **Trigger:** A user runs the codeam bin, or npm runs the postinstall banner. - **Impact:** No unconsented agent-config mutation, credential export, or install-time payload execution was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-27T14:34:57.976Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Postinstall writes help text to stdout. Runtime code resolves local Claude install directories and uses a vendored PTY to wrap an agent the user launches. - **Rationale:** The install hook is a usage banner, and the indicated Claude paths are local binary search directories for this remote-control CLI. Agent auth staging and the package API are reached from explicit user commands, not from an unconsented install mutation. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 82.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The npm postinstall hook only prints CLI usage text to stdout., Claude lookup returns well-known local install directories and extends PATH so the CLI can launch the user's claude binary., The bundled Unix PTY module loads its local native pty addon and spawn-helper for an interactive terminal., The Windows PTY agent loads the local conpty native module when a terminal is created., The published bin dispatches named user commands from main when the codeam executable runs. - **Evidence against:** Later user commands can stage local Claude, Codex, or Gemini auth files and talk to api.codeagent-mobile.com., CODEAM\_API\_URL can override the API host, and pair or link can check for a newer CLI release. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to codeam-cli@2.75.45. - Review the evidence and your use of codeam-cli@2.75.45 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.
