Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. No confirmed attack behavior was established. The automatic installer fetches the Electron runtime, and the application configures local backend and analytics endpoints. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 72.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-29T01:36:16.985Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-29T01:37:58.610Z - **Download time:** 1006 ms - **Static scan time:** 6206 ms - **AI review time:** 94412 ms - **Total time:** 101625 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 behavior was established. The automatic installer fetches the Electron runtime, and the application configures local backend and analytics endpoints. - **Trigger:** Installing the package triggers its post-install hook; launching the CLI starts Electron. - **Impact:** No confirmed attack impact was identified; reviewer-directed scanner language leaves an unresolved trust concern. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-29T01:37:58.610Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook invokes Electron's installer if its runtime is missing. No source-confirmed credential export, remote payload execution, or destructive action was found. - **Rationale:** The automatic runtime setup is consistent with an Electron application and no concrete exfiltration or destructive behavior was confirmed. Reviewer-directed scanner language is social engineering under the review policy, so this release should be warned rather than marked clean. - **Files touched:** package.json, bin/postinstall.js, bin/linux-sandbox.js, bin/local-operator-ui.js, out/main/index.js, out/renderer/assets/schedules-page-sReBxwJU.js - **Network endpoints:** http://127.0.0.1:1111, https://us.i.posthog.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 72.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package has an automatic post-install hook., That hook runs the bundled Electron installer when its runtime is absent., Compiled source tells secret scanners that a shipped analytics key is a false positive, which is reviewer-directed text. - **Evidence against:** The installer targets the package's Electron runtime rather than an unrelated path., The command-line entrypoint launches the bundled Electron application., The renderer uses its configured base URL for schedule operations. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to local-operator-ui@0.31.15. - Review the evidence and your use of local-operator-ui@0.31.15 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.
