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 wrapper shows package-aligned binary setup, but the selected native dependency source is outside the reviewed files. That unresolved executable behavior prevents a clean verdict; the inspected source does not establish a concrete attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-23T01:24:58.297Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-23T01:25:39.426Z - **Download time:** 765 ms - **Static scan time:** 137 ms - **AI review time:** 40226 ms - **Total time:** 41129 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 is confirmed in the inspected JavaScript. The package installs and launches platform-specific native binaries whose behavior is not established by these files. - **Trigger:** Package installation runs the postinstall hook; invoking droid launches the selected platform binary. - **Impact:** The native executable’s behavior remains unresolved, so this source review cannot determine whether it creates additional risk. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, install.js, platform.js, bin/droid - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-23T01:25:39.426Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The installer can retrieve a platform package from the npm registry, extract its executable, and link it as the command. The launcher delegates execution to that binary. - **Rationale:** The inspected wrapper shows package-aligned binary setup, but the selected native dependency source is outside the reviewed files. That unresolved executable behavior prevents a clean verdict; the inspected source does not establish a concrete attack. - **Files touched:** install.js, bin/droid - **Network endpoints:** registry.npmjs.org ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** The manifest runs install.js during postinstall and declares platform-specific optional binary packages., The installer can fetch a platform package from npm, extract its executable, and write it into the package’s bin directory., The installer may run the binary during setup and link it as the droid command; the command shim also launches that binary., The reviewed JavaScript selects an external platform binary, whose behavior is not established by these source files. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to droid@0.248.0. - Review the evidence and your use of droid@0.248.0 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.
