The CLI can later download and install a managed runtime. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-04T12:45:11.487Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-04T12:45:50.551Z - **Download time:** 501 ms - **Static scan time:** 3693 ms - **AI review time:** 34869 ms - **Total time:** 39064 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation executes a remote Bun installer when Bun is absent. The CLI can later download and install a managed runtime. - **Trigger:** npm install; or running janex without a suitable runtime - **Impact:** A remote endpoint can execute installer-controlled shell code and modify the user runtime environment. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, bin/janex.js, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-04T12:45:50.551Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** remote bootstrap script execution and runtime download - **Rationale:** Source confirms unconsented install-time remote shell execution, warranting a warning. The available source does not prove malicious payload behavior beyond this dangerous bootstrap design. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.mjs, bin/janex.js, node\_modules/@opentui/react/chunk-fm0c65gm.js, ~/.bun, ~/.janex/node - **Network endpoints:** https://bun.sh/install, bun.sh/install.ps1, https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v22.x/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json invokes postinstall automatically., scripts/postinstall.mjs pipes bun.sh/install into bash or PowerShell., postinstall rewrites a file under node\_modules., bin/janex.js can download and install Bun/Node at runtime. - **Evidence against:** No credential harvesting or exfiltration found in inspected install paths., No foreign AI-agent configuration writes found., README documents the runtime bootstrap behavior. ## Public findings ### 1.
