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. The scanner signals resolve to package-aligned login, user-invoked upgrade, port discovery, screen capture, and cleanup of historical LinkShell hooks. The postinstall script adjusts permissions on node-pty helpers; inspected code does not establish malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-10T01:04:48.889Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-10T01:05:26.578Z - **Download time:** 765 ms - **Static scan time:** 3061 ms - **AI review time:** 33862 ms - **Total time:** 37689 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 attack was identified in the inspected source. The postinstall hook adjusts permissions on node-pty helper binaries, while login and host functions serve the package's stated remote terminal product. - **Trigger:** Installation runs the postinstall helper; other reviewed network, screen capture, and upgrade behavior requires login, an active screen session, or an explicit command. - **Impact:** No malicious impact was established from the inspected source. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-10T01:05:26.578Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The installer locates node-pty helper files and sets executable permissions. Login uses a loopback callback and LinkShell authentication service; hook cleanup removes matching historical LinkShell entries. - **Rationale:** The scanner signals resolve to package-aligned login, user-invoked upgrade, port discovery, screen capture, and cleanup of historical LinkShell hooks. The postinstall script adjusts permissions on node-pty helpers; inspected code does not establish malicious behavior. - **Files touched:** node-pty helper binaries, agent settings files - **Network endpoints:** gateway.itool.tech, itool.tech, registry.npmjs.org ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json defines a postinstall hook that runs a package-local script; that script locates node-pty helpers and adjusts their executable permissions., The login command receives tokens through a loopback callback and saves them for LinkShell authentication; it opens the package-aligned login page., The hook configuration routines identify and remove historical LinkShell hook entries from named agent settings files., The Claude SDK source location concerns Claude project directories, not agent configuration writes., Port discovery runs lsof to list listening sockets; the screen fallback captures frames only while explicitly active., The gateway is the package's stated service, and upgrading through npm occurs only when the user invokes the upgrade command. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to linkshell-cli@0.8.0. - Review the evidence and your use of linkshell-cli@0.8.0 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.
