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. Static inspection found high-risk primitives, but they are runtime/user-invoked and consistent with the documented remote terminal and agent workspace product. The install hook is limited to local node-pty permission repair and no credential harvesting, covert exfiltration, persistence, or lifecycle AI-agent control mutation was confirmed. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-01T08:32:00.066Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-01T08:33:05.746Z - **Download time:** 255 ms - **Static scan time:** 1914 ms - **AI review time:** 63511 ms - **Total time:** 65680 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 was established. The package exposes a powerful user-invoked remote terminal and agent bridge, including AI hook configuration, but inspected behavior matches the documented LinkShell function. - **Trigger:** User runs linkshell start/login/upgrade or related runtime commands - **Impact:** Remote control of the user's chosen terminal/agent session when explicitly started - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, README.md, src/index.ts, src/auth.ts, src/runtime/bridge-session.ts, src/runtime/acp/claude-stream-json-client.ts, src/commands/login.ts, src/commands/upgrade.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-01T08:33:05.746Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** user-invoked remote terminal and agent bridge with local config writes - **Rationale:** Static inspection found high-risk primitives, but they are runtime/user-invoked and consistent with the documented remote terminal and agent workspace product. The install hook is limited to local node-pty permission repair and no credential harvesting, covert exfiltration, persistence, or lifecycle AI-agent control mutation was confirmed. - **Files touched:** ~/.linkshell/auth.json, ~/.linkshell/config.json, ~/.linkshell/machine.json, ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.codex/config.toml, ~/.codex/hooks.json, ~/.gemini/settings.json, hooks.json - **Network endpoints:** https://mkbeusztkzffnzjdwmqk.supabase.co, https://itool.tech/en/auth/linkshell, https://registry.npmjs.org/linkshell-cli/latest, user-configured gateway URLs ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** src/runtime/bridge-session.ts writes Claude/Codex/Gemini/Copilot hook config during linkshell start, src/runtime/acp/claude-stream-json-client.ts can run Claude fallback with bypassPermissions for remote prompts, src/commands/upgrade.ts runs npm install -g only when user invokes linkshell upgrade - **Evidence against:** scripts/postinstall.mjs only chmods node-pty spawn-helper candidates; no network or payload fetch, README.md describes remote terminal/agent bridge, screen sharing, login, gateway, and hook-like agent workspace behavior, Network calls are package-aligned: Supabase auth, itool.tech login, npm registry update check, configured gateway WebSocket, Auth token storage is local ~/.linkshell/auth.json with mode 0600 and used for LinkShell gateway/auth APIs, Shell/PTY spawning is the core advertised CLI bridge behavior and is activated by explicit runtime commands ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to linkshell-cli@0.5.32. - Review the evidence and your use of linkshell-cli@0.5.32 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.
