Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 26 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Remote Code Execution - **Selected version:** 11.4.1 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package has a concrete unsigned remote-native-binary execution path, which is a critical unresolved supply-chain risk. Source inspection did not establish deliberate malicious payload delivery or install-time takeover of a foreign agent control surface. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-28T03:02:51.108Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-28T03:04:42.170Z - **Download time:** 2043 ms - **Static scan time:** 4548 ms - **AI review time:** 104470 ms - **Total time:** 111062 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:** At interactive runtime, the package can fetch a native pager from its vendor download URL, save it locally, and execute it. The fetched payload has no source-level integrity verification. - **Trigger:** Running the interactive pager on Windows when no local pager exists, or forcing native download. - **Impact:** A compromised download endpoint could execute code as the invoking user. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall-pager.mjs, dist/cli.js, dist/native/manifest.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-28T03:04:42.170Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Downloads, saves, makes executable, and spawns a native binary. - **Rationale:** The package has a concrete unsigned remote-native-binary execution path, which is a critical unresolved supply-chain risk. Source inspection did not establish deliberate malicious payload delivery or install-time takeover of a foreign agent control surface. - **Files touched:** dist/cli.js, dist/native/clavue-pager-\*, scripts/postinstall-pager.mjs - **Network endpoints:** https://www.clavue.com/downloads/native ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Critical Vulnerability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The install hook makes every packaged native pager executable., The CLI downloads a native executable, saves it, and marks it executable without checking a signature or digest., The downloaded pager is selected and spawned as a child process during the interactive UI flow. - **Evidence against:** The install hook only changes permissions inside this package's native directory., The remote download occurs on a missing pager binary at interactive runtime, not during installation., No source evidence showed credential harvesting or transmission to an unrelated endpoint. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to iclavue@11.4.1. - Review the evidence and your use of iclavue@11.4.1 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.
