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. No confirmed malicious attack surface. Install time only prepares a package-owned binary; runtime network and process behavior supports the database server when invoked. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-09T12:01:57.718Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-09T12:02:40.892Z - **Download time:** 509 ms - **Static scan time:** 1765 ms - **AI review time:** 40899 ms - **Total time:** 43174 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 malicious attack surface. Install time only prepares a package-owned binary; runtime network and process behavior supports the database server when invoked. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall or explicit library/CLI server use - **Impact:** No credential harvesting, remote payload retrieval, or unconsented control-surface mutation found. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.js, lib/client.js, bin/jsql-server-control.js, lib/mod.js, lib/native\_client.js, nativesrc/jsql-neo-native/src/lib.rs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-09T12:02:40.892Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** package-owned binary setup and local database-server control - **Rationale:** Direct inspection found package-aligned database functionality and explicit local-server/module-management features, not a concrete malicious chain. Static lifecycle, native-binary, and dynamic-require signals are insufficient to establish malware here. - **Files touched:** postinstall.js, bin/jsql-neo-server, native/jsql-neo-native.node, ~/.jsql/server.pid, ~/.jsql/server.log, ~/.jsql/server.json, ~/.config/jsql/mod.config - **Network endpoints:** http://127.0.0.1:\/health ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json invokes postinstall.js, postinstall.js executes cargo only if an adjacent source project exists, lib/mod.js can load administrator-selected local JS modules, native/jsql-neo-native.node and bin/jsql-neo-server are shipped binaries - **Evidence against:** postinstall.js normally only chmods the package-owned server binary, no lifecycle network, credential collection, or exfiltration found, lib/client.js targets its configured local server, default 127.0.0.1, module loading requires explicit jsql mod add of an existing local path, server-control persistence is only an explicit CLI start action under ~/.jsql ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to jsql-neo@4.4.1. - Review the evidence and your use of jsql-neo@4.4.1 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.
