Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Source inspection resolved the scanner's execution and network signals to user-invoked agent setup and local runtime features. No install-time attack, unrelated credential recipient, or other concrete attack behavior was established. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-22T21:51:25.870Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-22T21:52:21.206Z - **Download time:** 759 ms - **Static scan time:** 1538 ms - **AI review time:** 53037 ms - **Total time:** 55336 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 attack was identified in the inspected source. The flagged runtime and agent integration behaviors align with the package's CLI functions and are activated through user setup or explicit runtime use. - **Trigger:** A user runs the CLI connect/setup flow or explicitly starts the local terminal runtime. - **Impact:** No confirmed attack impact was established; the inspected behavior supports the package's stated coordination features. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-22T21:52:21.206Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Connect adds local agent capture configuration; the runtime accepts provider-scoped local clients and reports file changes to the configured M9R service using a connected provider token. - **Rationale:** Source inspection resolved the scanner's execution and network signals to user-invoked agent setup and local runtime features. No install-time attack, unrelated credential recipient, or other concrete attack behavior was established. - **Files touched:** .oathlock/capture/pending.jsonl, .claude/settings.local.json, .codex/hooks.json - **Network endpoints:** https://m9r-web-staging.m9r.workers.dev, ws://127.0.0.1 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json exposes two CLI entrypoints and has build/prepack scripts, with no install lifecycle hook., The agent capture setup is reached through the connect flow, writes local provider configuration, and spools session data for later handling., The terminal bridge serves provider-scoped local WebSocket clients; its runtime is explicitly started, and file-change reports use a connected provider token and the configured M9R service., The inspected dependency and flagged source excerpts show protocol, file-watching, MCP, and process-adapter code; they do not establish an independent attack chain. - **Evidence against:** The bridge sends bounded project file-change content to the configured service, and agent capture stores session data; these behaviors are part of user-invoked product setup and operation, with no verified unrelated recipient or unconsented install-time activation. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to m9r-cli@0.6.12. - Review the evidence and your use of m9r-cli@0.6.12 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.
