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 package includes two native helpers that are actively invoked, but the available offline analysis could not resolve their behavior. The inspected JavaScript does not establish an attack, so manual review is needed before clearing the package. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 95.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-26T14:04:56.100Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-26T14:06:09.707Z - **Download time:** 256 ms - **Static scan time:** 1523 ms - **AI review time:** 71827 ms - **Total time:** 73607 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 in the inspected JavaScript. Two shipped native executables are used by the Codex safety paths, and their behavior remains unresolved. - **Trigger:** A Codex safety path requests native metadata or policy inventory. - **Impact:** Unknown because the native helper behavior could not be established. - **Evidence paths:** native/bin/codex-observe-darwin-arm64, native/bin/policy-observer-darwin-arm64, .lpm-inspection-AjsAJd/0-681fb12e0b83.txt, .lpm-inspection-AjsAJd/1-2a07812cd477.txt - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-26T14:06:09.707Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** JavaScript verifies helper identity and invokes the native executable; available offline analysis could not inspect its behavior. - **Rationale:** The package includes two native helpers that are actively invoked, but the available offline analysis could not resolve their behavior. The inspected JavaScript does not establish an attack, so manual review is needed before clearing the package. - **Files touched:** native/bin/codex-observe-darwin-arm64, native/bin/policy-observer-darwin-arm64, dist/src/safety/codex-native-process.js, dist/src/safety/codex-manual-registered.js, dist/src/safety/policy-inventory-client.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** The package ships two native executables alongside its JavaScript source., JavaScript launches the Codex metadata helper and passes it a selected operation and account path., Offline analysis could not determine the behavior of either native executable. - **Evidence against:** The manifest has no npm install lifecycle hook; its listed scripts cover build, packaging, and user commands., The JavaScript checks a compiled helper identity and validates its output, but these checks do not resolve the helper’s behavior. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to mtech-ai-local-runner@0.1.57. - Review the evidence and your use of mtech-ai-local-runner@0.1.57 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.
