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 was identified. Inspected lifecycle and runtime behavior supports the Electron application and its backend. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-03T12:03:31.893Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-03T12:06:07.947Z - **Download time:** 1017 ms - **Static scan time:** 11005 ms - **AI review time:** 144031 ms - **Total time:** 156054 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 was identified. Inspected lifecycle and runtime behavior supports the Electron application and its backend. - **Trigger:** Installation performs Electron setup; explicit application launch activates runtime functionality. - **Impact:** No malicious data transfer or agent control mutation was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-03T12:06:07.947Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Package-local runtime installation, guarded sandbox repair, backend communication, and date formatting explain the inspected findings. - **Rationale:** Inspected source supports ordinary application setup and operation, including guarded sandbox permission repair. Scanner claims of command-output exfiltration and Trojan Source behavior were not substantiated by the inspected executable behavior. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **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 package-local Electron setup; inspected code downloads its runtime and repairs its sandbox helper., The launcher starts Electron with the application path and caller arguments., The main bundle parses pip command output for the backend version; inspected network operations support backend communication, updates, and telemetry., The indicated AGENTS.md reference ranks file suggestions rather than modifying agent configuration., The schedules bundle uses Unicode isolation controls to format right-to-left date fields., Sandbox repair rejects nonregular files and changes ownership and permissions through the inspected file descriptor. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to local-operator-ui@0.31.32. - Review the evidence and your use of local-operator-ui@0.31.32 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.
