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 was established. The package has install-time chmod of its own bundled server binary and user-invoked local database/server features. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall or explicit jsql CLI/API calls - **Impact:** No unconsented exfiltration, remote payload execution, or foreign control-surface mutation found. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.js, bin/jsql-server-control.js, lib/mod.js, lib/sqlite\_worker.js, lib/client.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-12T19:42:13.566Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** package-local binary permission setup, local service control, and user-selected module loading - **Rationale:** Source inspection found legitimate but potentially powerful database/server features; their execution paths are explicit or package-local. The lifecycle script does not establish a concrete malicious chain. - **Files touched:** postinstall.js, bin/jsql-server-control.js, lib/mod.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json defines a postinstall hook., postinstall changes mode only on the package-local server binary when it exists; its cargo fallback is guarded by an absent sibling source directory., Explicit \`jsql server start\` persists only its own server PID, log, and configuration under ~/.jsql., The module loader can require an administrator-selected local JS module, with an explicit CLI warning that it is unsandboxed. - **Evidence against:** No credential harvesting, remote endpoint, data exfiltration, or obfuscated payload was found in inspected source., No install-time network operation, foreign configuration write, AI-agent control-surface mutation, or package escape is present., The lifecycle script returns after chmod on the packaged binary, so it does not reach cargo build in this package layout., Network code is for user-configured/local database services, not a fixed external host., Dynamic Function reconstruction is limited to user-supplied SQLite function and aggregate registration. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to jsql-neo@5.3.0. - Review the evidence and your use of jsql-neo@5.3.0 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.
