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’s user-invoked installer sets up the documented Gemini MCP gateway, including a remote command-execution agent. - **Trigger:** A user invokes the package CLI or installer and configures the gateway connection. - **Impact:** The configured Gemini connection can run shell commands on the user’s machine, as the package documentation describes. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-19T03:44:03.811Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The installer registers a device with the gateway, saves its token, and configures the agent to receive MCP tool calls over a WebSocket tunnel. - **Rationale:** Inspected source shows no npm install hook or separate attack behavior. The remote installer, device registration, background agent, and shell execution are presented as the user-invoked product’s documented setup and function. - **Files touched:** package.json, bin/cli.js, install.sh, core/agent.py - **Network endpoints:** smart-server.online ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json maps the executable and start command to bin/cli.js and declares no install lifecycle hook., The README describes the package as giving Gemini command execution through MCP and documents its cloud gateway setup., The CLI fetches and runs the platform installer when a user invokes it., The installer registers a gateway subdomain using device metadata and saves the returned token in a user configuration file., The agent connects to the configured gateway and executes bash commands received as MCP tool calls, matching the documented product function. - **Evidence against:** The agent provides remote shell execution over an outbound WebSocket tunnel, a powerful capability that could be misused; the source presents it as the package’s intended, user-configured function. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to gemini-computer-use@0.1.2. - Avoid installing gemini-computer-use@0.1.2. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
