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. This is a user-invoked extension manager with a meaningful remote command-execution capability, not evidence of an install-time malware chain. The static eval and shell alerts do not establish malicious execution, but remote task execution merits a warning. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-04T07:45:13.428Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-04T07:46:20.955Z - **Download time:** 513 ms - **Static scan time:** 3901 ms - **AI review time:** 63112 ms - **Total time:** 67527 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:** A user-invoked CLI can retrieve extension metadata and run extension-defined commands in the selected project. No install-time execution was found. - **Trigger:** The user runs create, apply, sync, or another extension operation that executes tasks. - **Impact:** A compromised or untrusted extension registry entry can cause commands to run within the selected project directory. - **Evidence paths:** dist/bin.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-04T07:46:20.955Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote manifest task commands are interpolated and launched as child processes. - **Rationale:** This is a user-invoked extension manager with a meaningful remote command-execution capability, not evidence of an install-time malware chain. The static eval and shell alerts do not establish malicious execution, but remote task execution merits a warning. - **Network endpoints:** https://git.iec.io/farris-public/extension-registry ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package exposes a command-line tool that runs only when the user invokes its bin command., The CLI obtains extension registry data from a configured remote registry., Remote task fields supply a command and arguments that the CLI launches as a child process., This creates a user-triggered remote extension command-execution capability in a consumer project. - **Evidence against:** The manifest has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook., The bundled command runner uses shell disabled and restricts task working directories., No secret harvesting, outbound upload of command output, stealth persistence, or self-dependency was found., The reported eval reference is Ajv schema-validator code generation, not remote response evaluation. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to mano-coding@0.1.35. - Review the evidence and your use of mano-coding@0.1.35 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.
