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 lifecycle hook and fallback download support the package's platform-specific CLI setup. The inspected source does not establish an unrelated recipient, unauthorized modification, or other attack behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-18T11:36:46.107Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-18T11:37:24.674Z - **Download time:** 514 ms - **Static scan time:** 123 ms - **AI review time:** 37930 ms - **Total time:** 38567 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 install hook sets up the platform binary and optimizes this package's command shim. - **Trigger:** The package's postinstall hook runs during installation. - **Impact:** The inspected behavior installs and launches the CLI; no unrelated data disclosure or system modification was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-18T11:37:24.674Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** It uses a matching platform dependency when available, otherwise fetches that binary from the npm registry, then links it to the package's command shim. - **Rationale:** The lifecycle hook and fallback download support the package's platform-specific CLI setup. The inspected source does not establish an unrelated recipient, unauthorized modification, or other attack behavior. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json runs install.js after installation and declares matching-version platform binary dependencies., install.js downloads a fallback binary only when the platform dependency is missing., The fallback looks up its tarball through registry.npmjs.org., install.js links the selected binary to this package's own command shim. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to droid@0.236.0. - Review the evidence and your use of droid@0.236.0 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.
