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. This is a user-invoked scaffolding and workspace package. Its prompt-routing capability is disclosed in source and requires a saved key, repository consent, and a separate switch that defaults off. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 95.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-01T07:19:19.008Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-01T07:20:19.652Z - **Download time:** 1805 ms - **Static scan time:** 12206 ms - **AI review time:** 46630 ms - **Total time:** 60644 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 scaffolds a local PMOS kit and workspace; optional prompt routing is consent-gated. - **Trigger:** A user invokes the CLI to scaffold a kit or runs its \`workspace\` command; configured routing is checked for eligible prompts in a workspace-launched terminal. - **Impact:** No unauthorized credential collection, exfiltration, or agent-control hijack was found. Configured routing can disclose eligible prompts to the selected classification service by design. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-01T07:20:19.652Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI writes the kit and offers its local cockpit plugin in project settings. The mod sends eligible prompt text and the repository root to the workspace loopback endpoint; the workspace sends prompts to Jev only when its key, repository consent, and routing switch are all present. - **Rationale:** This is a user-invoked scaffolding and workspace package. Its prompt-routing capability is disclosed in source and requires a saved key, repository consent, and a separate switch that defaults off. - **Files touched:** pmos/, .claude/settings.json, .claude/skills/ - **Network endpoints:** http://127.0.0.1:\/api/model/route ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The CLI vendors the bundled kit into a target directory when invoked., The installer adds local PMOS marketplace and plugin entries to the project’s Claude settings., Prompt routing uses the workspace-provided loopback endpoint; the mod does not receive the Jev key., Sending prompts to Jev requires a saved key, repository consent, and a separate routing switch that is off by default; secret-scanned prompts are withheld., The workspace installation and launch are performed by the explicit \`workspace\` command. - **Evidence against:** When routing is configured, prompt text and the repository root are sent to the local workspace for classification; this is a real network-capable feature, but external sending is consent-gated. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to create-pmos@0.476.0. - Review the evidence and your use of create-pmos@0.476.0 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.
