Static policy retained a warning. The static scanner classified the package as malicious with confidence of at least 85%. A critical static finding has confidence of at least 90%. These conditions do not mean that the AI confirmed malicious behavior. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. No confirmed attack surface was identified. The install hook is scoped to Electron runtime setup and its own Chromium sandbox helper. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-28T06:41:23.239Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-28T06:42:53.343Z - **Download time:** 767 ms - **Static scan time:** 6974 ms - **AI review time:** 82362 ms - **Total time:** 90104 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 attack surface was identified. The install hook is scoped to Electron runtime setup and its own Chromium sandbox helper. - **Trigger:** Package installation runs the declared postinstall hook; normal use launches the Electron application. - **Impact:** No credential theft, unrelated network export, broad control-surface mutation, or persistence mechanism was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-28T06:42:53.343Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The installer obtains Electron and conditionally repairs only its sandbox helper, with descriptor-based checks that reject unsafe file types. - **Rationale:** The install-time privileged operation is narrowly limited to the package's Electron sandbox helper and includes anti-symlink safeguards. Inspected entry points show ordinary application launch, local backend health checks, and scheduling UI behavior rather than an attack. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Final policy explanation:** The AI recommended clean. Static policy retained a warning. The static scanner classified the package as malicious with confidence of at least 85%. A critical static finding has confidence of at least 90%. These conditions do not mean that the AI confirmed malicious behavior. - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The declared postinstall runs the package-local postinstall script., The installer obtains Electron and calls the sandbox-helper repair routine., The repair routine refuses symlinks and non-regular files before mutation., The CLI launches the bundled main entry point through Electron., The main process health request targets its configured backend URL., The renderer code performs schedule and wake operations through its application interface. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to local-operator-ui@0.31.11. - Review the evidence and your use of local-operator-ui@0.31.11 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.
