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. The flagged behavior is an explicit, user-invoked agent capture capability that can retain sensitive session content locally, with best-effort redaction. Source inspection did not establish an active malicious transfer or unconsented install-time behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 78.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-12T09:46:49.346Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-12T09:48:27.699Z - **Download time:** 516 ms - **Static scan time:** 1419 ms - **AI review time:** 96417 ms - **Total time:** 98353 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:** The package can add provider session-capture hooks and retain redacted transcript content in local project memory. The inspected source does not establish a malicious transfer or unconsented activation. - **Trigger:** A user enables memory capture during connection setup or runs the capture installation command. - **Impact:** Captured conversations may include sensitive content; redaction is best effort. No confirmed malicious effect was identified. - **Evidence paths:** dist/oathlock-cli-core.js, dist/cross-agent-capture-setup-core.js, dist/cross-agent-capture-core.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-12T09:48:27.699Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Provider session hooks append session events to a local spool, which the resident drain processes into redacted Markdown files. - **Rationale:** The flagged behavior is an explicit, user-invoked agent capture capability that can retain sensitive session content locally, with best-effort redaction. Source inspection did not establish an active malicious transfer or unconsented install-time behavior. - **Files touched:** .oathlock/capture/pending.jsonl, .oathlock/memory/local ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 78.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The CLI exposes session capture as an explicit option; otherwise it reports capture is off., Capture setup writes a provider session hook that appends session data to a local spool., The drain path turns transcript content into redacted Markdown in the project’s local memory directory., The package has no install lifecycle hook; its scripts are build and prepack only. - **Evidence against:** The inspected capture flow requires explicit setup and stores captured content locally; it does not establish a malicious transfer., The terminal bridge sends authenticated polling requests to the configured M9R API. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to m9r-cli@0.6.14. - Review the evidence and your use of m9r-cli@0.6.14 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.
