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. No confirmed malicious attack surface. The package is an explicit deployment CLI that configures a user-requested OpenClaw/Hugging Face runtime; its network and process operations are package-aligned and user-triggered. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-16T19:17:12.304Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-16T19:19:48.801Z - **Download time:** 255 ms - **Static scan time:** 2979 ms - **AI review time:** 153262 ms - **Total time:** 156497 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 malicious attack surface. The package is an explicit deployment CLI that configures a user-requested OpenClaw/Hugging Face runtime; its network and process operations are package-aligned and user-triggered. - **Trigger:** User runs \`mlclaw bootstrap\`, \`update\`, \`doctor\`, or the generated Space runtime. - **Impact:** Can create or update the requested Hugging Face deployment, run OpenClaw, and optionally install the official HF CLI after confirmation. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/mlclaw.mjs, dist/mlclaw-space-runtime.js, src/hf-state-sync/cli.ts, .agents/skills/mlclaw/SKILL.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-16T19:19:48.801Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** User-authorized Hugging Face/OpenClaw deployment, configuration, and gateway startup. - **Rationale:** Static inspection finds a deployment tool with expected network, credential, shell, filesystem, and listener capabilities, all behind explicit CLI/runtime actions. There is no install-time mutation, unrelated credential exfiltration, stealth persistence, or concrete malicious chain. - **Files touched:** package.json, dist/mlclaw.mjs, dist/mlclaw-space-runtime.js, src/hf-state-sync/cli.ts, .agents/skills/mlclaw/SKILL.md - **Network endpoints:** https://huggingface.co, https://router.huggingface.co/v1/models, https://api.telegram.org, https://hf.co/cli/install.sh, https://evalstate-research-agent-two.hf.space/mcp ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** \`dist/mlclaw.mjs\` can fetch and execute the HF CLI installer, but only after an interactive \`Install the Hugging Face CLI now?\` confirmation., \`dist/mlclaw-space-runtime.js\` launches a network-facing OpenClaw gateway on \`0.0.0.0\` when the user deploys the runtime. - **Evidence against:** \`package.json\` has no \`preinstall\`, \`install\`, or \`postinstall\` hook; \`prepack\` is publish-time only., \`dist/mlclaw.mjs\` exposes an explicit, user-invoked deployment CLI rather than import-time execution., HF/OpenClaw credentials are read for configured deployment actions and stored in ML Claw/Hugging Face deployment paths, not sent to an unrelated host., The bundled \`skillflag\` installer code is not wired into the reachable \`mlclaw\` command program., The shipped \`.agents/skills/mlclaw/SKILL.md\` documents the package workflow; it contains no reviewer or scanner manipulation. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to mlclaw@0.4.0. - Review the evidence and your use of mlclaw@0.4.0 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.
