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 inspected installer and launcher implement a package-aligned native CLI installation, with no concrete malicious behavior or lifecycle self-dependency. Missing artifact verification limits assurance but does not establish an attack; the scanner's transport-verification claim is unsupported by the HTTPS implementation. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-05T06:39:41.001Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-05T06:40:32.007Z - **Download time:** 513 ms - **Static scan time:** 20 ms - **AI review time:** 50472 ms - **Total time:** 51006 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 confirmed attack was identified. The package installs its platform CLI from a versioned GitHub release and launches it on user invocation. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall downloads and extracts the executable; invoking encrata runs it. - **Impact:** The inspected source installs and runs the CLI without observed credential harvesting, foreign agent configuration writes, or malicious persistence. The downloaded executable cannot be assessed from this snapshot. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-05T06:40:32.007Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** HTTPS download, archive extraction, package-local executable installation, and argument forwarding implement the CLI distribution workflow. - **Rationale:** The inspected installer and launcher implement a package-aligned native CLI installation, with no concrete malicious behavior or lifecycle self-dependency. Missing artifact verification limits assurance but does not establish an attack; the scanner's transport-verification claim is unsupported by the HTTPS implementation. - **Files touched:** bin/encrata-bin, bin/encrata-bin.exe, bin/.extract - **Network endpoints:** github.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **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 no runtime dependencies., install.js downloads a versioned platform archive from the Encratahq/encrata-cli GitHub releases using HTTPS., The installer follows HTTP redirects through HTTPS requests; it does not disable TLS verification., The installer copies the executable into its package directory and removes extraction files., bin/encrata executes the installed binary when the user invokes the CLI, forwarding command arguments. - **Evidence against:** Downloaded archives lack checksum or signature verification, and the remote executable's behavior is outside this snapshot. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to encrata-cli@0.12.0. - Review the evidence and your use of encrata-cli@0.12.0 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.
