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. The package has no install lifecycle hook, and its executable dispatches work only after a user invokes a command. The flagged process and environment access serve local Git, helper, installation, and event-storage functions; no malicious data flow or automatic attack behavior was identified. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-01T08:52:31.898Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-01T08:53:23.179Z - **Download time:** 1037 ms - **Static scan time:** 3839 ms - **AI review time:** 46404 ms - **Total time:** 51281 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 was identified. The package provides a command-driven CLI for installing agent guidance and managing local event data. - **Trigger:** Explicit invocation of the codeassembly CLI or its helper commands. - **Impact:** No automatic credential collection, unrelated network transmission, or other malicious behavior was found in the inspected flows. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T08:53:23.179Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI dispatches user-selected commands; inspected filesystem and process operations install package content, write local records, query Git, or invoke a co-located helper. - **Rationale:** The package has no install lifecycle hook, and its executable dispatches work only after a user invokes a command. The flagged process and environment access serve local Git, helper, installation, and event-storage functions; no malicious data flow or automatic attack behavior was identified. - **Files touched:** package.json, bin/codeassembly.js, dist/esm/cli.js, dist/esm/commands/install.js, dist/esm/capture-event/cli.js, dist/esm/derive-session-context/cli.js, dist/esm/kb-curate/apply/canonicalize-tags.js, dist/content/skills/kb-add/kb-add.mjs ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json has no install, preinstall, or postinstall hook; its scripts are build and test tasks., The bin wrapper loads the CLI when invoked, and the CLI dispatches based on an explicit command argument., The install command is user-invoked and installs package guidance into selected harness directories., The capture-event command reads event input and writes the validated event to the configured store; no external transmission is shown in that flow. - **Evidence against:** Scanner flags include a new bundled helper and process execution, but the inspected helpers perform YAML processing, fixed Git queries, or invoke a sibling kb-edit helper., The CLI receives process.env in event-capture commands to resolve session context; the inspected flow stores event data locally. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to codeassembly@0.10.0. - Review the evidence and your use of codeassembly@0.10.0 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.
