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. The flagged environment, network, and process behavior belongs to the CLI’s npm resolution and update functions. The reviewed credential flow scopes npm auth to the registry request, and the package has no install lifecycle hook. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-31T11:37:49.687Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-31T11:38:44.230Z - **Download time:** 506 ms - **Static scan time:** 3824 ms - **AI review time:** 50212 ms - **Total time:** 54543 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; the reviewed network and process activity supports the package’s CLI and package-management functions. - **Trigger:** A user runs the mano-coding CLI; package resolution and update checks occur through its command flow. - **Impact:** No malicious collection, unrelated credential transfer, or other attack impact was identified. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T11:38:44.230Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI contacts the configured npm registry, defaults to registry.npmjs.org, and only applies npm auth entries matching the requested host and path. Its update worker is gated by configuration and skips offline and CI runs. - **Rationale:** The flagged environment, network, and process behavior belongs to the CLI’s npm resolution and update functions. The reviewed credential flow scopes npm auth to the registry request, and the package has no install lifecycle hook. - **Network endpoints:** registry.npmjs.org, User-configured npm registry ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes a CLI command through bin/mano-coding.js., The CLI launcher imports the bundled CLI when the command runs., npm auth configuration is matched to the request host and path., npm metadata requests use the configured registry, with the public npm registry as the default., The CLI checks for updates when run; auto-update is configurable and its worker skips offline and CI runs. - **Evidence against:** The manifest has no install, preinstall, or postinstall lifecycle hook., The inspected credential flow is for npm registry requests, not an unrelated collector., The package description and CLI commands are consistent with a coding toolchain. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to mano-coding@0.1.51. - Review the evidence and your use of mano-coding@0.1.51 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.
