Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: manual review; recommendation: manual review. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The manifest has no npm install hook, and inspected agent integration writes are explicitly invoked. The behavior of two packaged native helpers used in sensitive checks remains unresolved, so the available evidence does not support a clean or malicious verdict. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-26T10:02:49.394Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-26T10:03:49.708Z - **Download time:** 1007 ms - **Static scan time:** 1548 ms - **AI review time:** 57758 ms - **Total time:** 60314 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 established from the inspected JavaScript. Two shipped native executables are used by security-sensitive helper paths, but their behavior could not be resolved from the available offline analysis. - **Trigger:** The native helpers are invoked during Codex account metadata or policy inventory checks. - **Impact:** The unresolved helper behavior prevents a clean verdict; no concrete harmful effect was verified. - **Evidence paths:** .lpm-inspection-TPbhFa/0-681fb12e0b83.txt, .lpm-inspection-TPbhFa/1-2a07812cd477.txt, dist/src/safety/codex-native-process.js, dist/src/safety/policy-inventory-client.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-26T10:03:49.708Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** JavaScript validates pinned helper identities before invocation; the native executable behavior remains unknown. - **Rationale:** The manifest has no npm install hook, and inspected agent integration writes are explicitly invoked. The behavior of two packaged native helpers used in sensitive checks remains unresolved, so the available evidence does not support a clean or malicious verdict. - **Files touched:** native/bin/codex-observe-darwin-arm64, native/bin/policy-observer-darwin-arm64 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** package.json shows no npm install lifecycle hook; its scripts are build and user-facing CLI commands., Agent integration changes run through the explicit integrations install command; setup integration work is requested separately., The native metadata helper invokes a pinned executable for local account metadata, and the policy client invokes a pinned executable for policy inventory., Offline analysis of both shipped native executables reports an unrecognized format and says their behavior remains unresolved. - **Evidence against:** The inspected policy client verifies the helper against a compiled pin and checks its file ownership, permissions, and hash before use., Agent integration files are written by the explicit integration installer. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to mtech-ai-local-runner@0.1.56. - Review the evidence and your use of mtech-ai-local-runner@0.1.56 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.
