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. Inspected lifecycle and runtime behavior supports Electron application setup and operation. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-05T05:34:27.528Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-05T05:36:56.833Z - **Download time:** 1773 ms - **Static scan time:** 9047 ms - **AI review time:** 138484 ms - **Total time:** 149305 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. Inspected lifecycle and runtime behavior supports Electron application setup and operation. - **Trigger:** Installation invokes Electron setup; an explicit CLI launch starts the application. - **Impact:** No malicious credential export, broad agent-control mutation, or destructive installation chain was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-05T05:36:56.833Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The inspected code initializes the runtime, repairs its sandbox helper, and exposes application IPC; the flagged agent filename reference only influences search ranking. - **Rationale:** Inspected source supports ordinary Electron setup and application behavior, while the agent-configuration and Unicode hints resolve to search ranking and UI formatting. The scanner's malicious label was not substantiated by a concrete attack chain. ### 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 calls Electron runtime setup and sandbox repair; runtime dependencies contain no self-dependency., The CLI launches Electron with the caller's arguments., The flagged agent filename list ranks file-search results rather than modifying agent configuration., The inspected main-process command reads listening process IDs; no command-output exfiltration chain was established., The flagged Unicode characters format right-to-left date inputs and empty UI labels., Sandbox repair rejects nonregular files and uses file descriptors; the preload development bridge requires an activation argument. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to local-operator-ui@0.32.6. - Review the evidence and your use of local-operator-ui@0.32.6 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.
