Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The configurable authentication destination creates conditional credential exposure, while explicit agent skill installation adds a guarded agent capability. Neither behavior establishes malicious intent or qualifies for publication blocking. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-01T18:21:43.873Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-01T18:23:37.715Z - **Download time:** 758 ms - **Static scan time:** 2141 ms - **AI review time:** 110943 ms - **Total time:** 113842 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:** Saved Mastra session credentials can reach an operator-configured platform endpoint after observability consent. Explicit CLI project creation also installs agent skills; no confirmed malicious attack was established. - **Trigger:** Run create-mastra and accept observability setup while MASTRA\_PLATFORM\_API\_URL points to another recipient; skill installation runs unless disabled. - **Impact:** Conditional exposure of existing Mastra session credentials and installation of agent instructions in the generated project. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js, dist/credentials-6AY2wEWQ-DCCCg72E.js, dist/client-BzuP6FOB-C6hwDwJW.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-01T18:23:37.715Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Authentication sends saved access and refresh tokens to the configurable API base without a destination allowlist. Project setup invokes npx to install mastra-ai/skills for detected agents. - **Rationale:** The configurable authentication destination creates conditional credential exposure, while explicit agent skill installation adds a guarded agent capability. Neither behavior establishes malicious intent or qualifies for publication blocking. - **Files touched:** .env - **Network endpoints:** https://platform.mastra.ai ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The platform API destination accepts an unrestricted MASTRA\_PLATFORM\_API\_URL override., Authentication loads saved Mastra credentials and sends the access token for verification and the refresh token for renewal to that destination., The active create command invokes authentication after the user accepts observability setup; this consent does not restrict the credential recipient., Project setup installs Mastra skills for detected coding agents through npx with automatic confirmation; --no-skills disables this behavior., The flagged MCP configuration location only constructs paths and performs no configuration write. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no automatic installation lifecycle hooks or runtime self-dependency., The default authentication destination is Mastra's platform, and observability requires an interactive choice., No covert recipient, destructive behavior, or malicious intent was established. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to create-mastra@1.32.1. - Review the evidence and your use of create-mastra@1.32.1 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.
