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. Scanner exfiltration and install-hook labels do not match the source: there are no registry install hooks, and network plus process use is the first-party Modelence CLI and runtime. The remaining issue is that modelence setup writes Claude Code project settings and can install the vendor plugin after a prompt, which is user-invoked first-party agent setup rather than a publish-blocking attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-16T19:26:09.779Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-16T19:29:03.450Z - **Download time:** 511 ms - **Static scan time:** 281 ms - **AI review time:** 172878 ms - **Total time:** 173671 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 modelence setup command merges a first-party Claude Code marketplace into the project .claude/settings.json and enables plugin modelence@modelence when that key is unset. If the user agrees at a prompt, it also runs the local claude CLI to add that marketplace and install the plugin. - **Trigger:** The user runs the modelence setup command. - **Impact:** The consumer project's Claude Code settings can enable the Modelence plugin; this is not an npm install-time hijack of a foreign agent. - **Evidence paths:** dist/bin/modelence.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-16T19:29:03.450Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** User-command first-party Claude Code plugin enablement - **Rationale:** Scanner exfiltration and install-hook labels do not match the source: there are no registry install hooks, and network plus process use is the first-party Modelence CLI and runtime. The remaining issue is that modelence setup writes Claude Code project settings and can install the vendor plugin after a prompt, which is user-invoked first-party agent setup rather than a publish-blocking attack. - **Files touched:** .claude/settings.json - **Network endpoints:** https://docs.modelence.com/ai-coding-agents ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The modelence setup CLI writes the consumer project's .claude/settings.json to declare a GitHub marketplace and enable the modelence@modelence Claude Code plugin without a separate prompt for that file write., If the user accepts a yes/no prompt, setup runs the local claude CLI with spawnSync to add marketplace modelence/modelence and install plugin modelence@modelence at project scope. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall scripts; prepare only sets this monorepo's husky git hooks path., CLI and runtime network use first-party hosts such as cloud.modelence.com for setup, deploy, and opt-out app-start tracking, not a third-party drop., child\_process in the CLI is used for documented build/dev/start plus the optional first-party Claude plugin install., App-start tracking posts only project name, package version, hostname, and environment id, and is skipped when MODELENCE\_TRACKING\_ENABLED is false., The Claude plugin IDs are vendor-owned (modelence@modelence from modelence/modelence), and an existing enabledPlugins false value is left unchanged. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to modelence@0.25.1. - Review the evidence and your use of modelence@0.25.1 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.
