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 concrete malicious attack surface was identified. Inspected installation, process, authentication, and scheduling behavior supports the Electron application and its backend. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-01T07:15:56.675Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-01T07:17:56.017Z - **Download time:** 1804 ms - **Static scan time:** 7034 ms - **AI review time:** 110503 ms - **Total time:** 119342 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 concrete malicious attack surface was identified. Inspected installation, process, authentication, and scheduling behavior supports the Electron application and its backend. - **Trigger:** Installation initializes Electron; invoking the CLI starts the application and its runtime features. - **Impact:** No credential theft, foreign agent control mutation, or malicious installation chain was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-01T07:17:56.017Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The installer operates on Electron files, while the application uses backend requests and user-facing process and scheduling features. - **Rationale:** Inspected behavior is consistent with an Electron interface for a local operator backend, including runtime installation and sandbox maintenance. No concrete attack behavior or runtime self-dependency chain was found. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **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 postinstall hook invokes a package-owned installer that targets Electron's runtime and sandbox helper., The CLI launches the bundled Electron application with the user's arguments., The main process authenticates desktop event requests to its backend and rejects redirects; desktop tokens are generated locally., The schedules page edits backend schedules through application mutations., The Linux sandbox repair checks file descriptors and refuses nonregular files before changing permissions. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to local-operator-ui@0.31.27. - Review the evidence and your use of local-operator-ui@0.31.27 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.
