Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: manual review; recommendation: manual review. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The inspected lifecycle code performs product-aligned binary setup, but the platform-specific executable dependencies were unresolved and absent from the snapshot. That leaves a selected executable boundary unreviewed, so the package cannot be cleared as clean from the available source. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-22T04:28:17.453Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-22T04:28:51.327Z - **Download time:** 1024 ms - **Static scan time:** 119 ms - **AI review time:** 32730 ms - **Total time:** 33874 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 concrete attack was established in the inspected JavaScript. The install hook selects and links a native CLI binary, but the selected native dependency source was unresolved. - **Trigger:** Package installation runs the postinstall hook; the fallback download runs if the platform binary is missing. - **Impact:** The executable is run when the CLI is invoked, but its behavior could not be assessed from this package snapshot. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, install.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-22T04:28:51.327Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The installer retrieves a platform package from the npm registry, extracts its executable into the package bin directory, and can link that executable as bin/droid. - **Rationale:** The inspected lifecycle code performs product-aligned binary setup, but the platform-specific executable dependencies were unresolved and absent from the snapshot. That leaves a selected executable boundary unreviewed, so the package cannot be cleared as clean from the available source. - **Files touched:** bin/droid - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** package.json runs install.js during postinstall and declares version-pinned platform-specific optional binary packages., The installer uses the optional binary when available and otherwise attempts an npm download., The fallback writes the extracted native executable into the package's bin directory., On Unix, postinstall links the selected binary over bin/droid., The selected native dependency source was unresolved in the supplied review records, so its behavior could not be assessed. - **Evidence against:** The declared binary packages match the product name and package version., The inspected installer behavior is consistent with setting up the platform-specific CLI and optimizing its command shim. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to droid@0.247.0. - Review the evidence and your use of droid@0.247.0 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.
