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 malicious install-time or import-time attack surface was confirmed. The lifecycle hook only chmods a bundled server binary; runtime networking is database-client behavior using configured local/default endpoints. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-12T19:43:01.812Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-12T19:44:13.331Z - **Download time:** 505 ms - **Static scan time:** 2012 ms - **AI review time:** 68993 ms - **Total time:** 71519 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 malicious install-time or import-time attack surface was confirmed. The lifecycle hook only chmods a bundled server binary; runtime networking is database-client behavior using configured local/default endpoints. - **Trigger:** npm installation, or explicit CLI/database API use - **Impact:** No unconsented persistence, exfiltration, or foreign control-surface mutation established. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.js, bin/jsql, lib/mod.js, lib/sqlite\_worker.js, lib/client.js, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-12T19:44:13.331Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** bundled database binary setup and user-invoked database/plugin features - **Rationale:** Static inspection found package-aligned database functionality and explicitly user-invoked code-loading features, but no concrete malicious behavior. The postinstall script performs local binary permission setup without download, exfiltration, or broad configuration mutation. - **Files touched:** postinstall.js, bin/jsql-neo-server, bin/jsql, lib/mod.js, lib/sqlite\_worker.js, lib/client.js - **Network endpoints:** http://127.0.0.1:6379/health ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The postinstall hook only marks an already bundled server binary executable., Source-build fallback runs only if an external sibling Cargo project exists; no download or network request is present., Dynamic module loading is reachable only through explicit CLI module management of a user-provided path., The Function constructor rebuilds user-registered SQL callbacks in a worker, a documented feature path. - **Evidence against:** No credential/environment harvesting or outbound exfiltration was found., No install-time write to AI-agent, shell-profile, or broad foreign control-surface paths was found., Runtime HTTP use targets the configured database server, defaulting to localhost. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to jsql-neo@5.3.1. - Review the evidence and your use of jsql-neo@5.3.1 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.
