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. create-mastra 1.31.3 is a user-invoked project scaffolder with no npm lifecycle hooks, and the flagged editor MCP path joins are unused expression statements. Login and analytics stay on package-aligned Mastra and PostHog endpoints and are not an install-time attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-27T15:47:19.163Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-27T15:50:11.584Z - **Download time:** 520 ms - **Static scan time:** 2091 ms - **AI review time:** 169810 ms - **Total time:** 172421 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 install-time or import-time attack was identified. Project scaffolding, optional Mastra login, and product telemetry run only when the user executes the create-mastra command. The referenced editor MCP path expressions do not write agent configuration. - **Trigger:** User execution of the create-mastra binary. - **Impact:** No unconsented agent-control mutation, credential theft, or install hook was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-27T15:50:11.584Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The command scaffolds a project and may verify a login token against the Mastra platform auth API. Unused editor MCP path expressions are evaluated and discarded. - **Rationale:** create-mastra 1.31.3 is a user-invoked project scaffolder with no npm lifecycle hooks, and the flagged editor MCP path joins are unused expression statements. Login and analytics stay on package-aligned Mastra and PostHog endpoints and are not an install-time attack. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json exposes a create-mastra bin at dist/index.js and its scripts are only build, lint, and test, with no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., Editor MCP path joins around the flagged location in dist/index.js are discarded expression statements and are not passed to a file write., Login token checks call the Mastra platform auth verify endpoint with a bearer token from that same login flow., The bundled CLI runs its create action only after the user invokes the binary and commander parses process.argv. - **Evidence against:** Default CLI telemetry can send host and version fields to PostHog unless MASTRA\_TELEMETRY\_DISABLED is set., MASTRA\_PLATFORM\_API\_URL can override the platform host, but the token is obtained from that same login flow rather than copied from another service. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to create-mastra@1.31.3. - Review the evidence and your use of create-mastra@1.31.3 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.
