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 added repository access check is scoped to Gateway-listed repositories that the user has consented to, and uses Git to read their refs. The README’s reviewer-related text is ordinary release documentation, not an attempt to influence this security review. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-30T15:45:44.899Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-30T15:46:18.813Z - **Download time:** 776 ms - **Static scan time:** 1908 ms - **AI review time:** 31228 ms - **Total time:** 33914 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. Repository access checks use the runner’s Git credentials to read refs for repositories already consented to by the user. - **Trigger:** An explicit \`fix enable\` command, or CLI status checking for an already configured Fix runner. - **Impact:** No unauthorized data collection or account action was identified. Git authentication is used to access the corresponding repository. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T15:46:18.813Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Runs \`git ls-remote\` against HTTPS clone URLs supplied by the Gateway for consented repository keys; the probe reads refs and does not write repository data. - **Rationale:** The added repository access check is scoped to Gateway-listed repositories that the user has consented to, and uses Git to read their refs. The README’s reviewer-related text is ordinary release documentation, not an attempt to influence this security review. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The new repository access module runs \`git ls-remote\` to read a repository’s HEAD ref., The CLI performs access checks only for repositories listed by the Gateway and already consented to by the runner., \`fix enable\` requires an explicit repository key and validates the requested consent before applying it., The README’s “reviewer” reference is part of release notes about an unreleased change; it does not instruct or dictate this review. - **Evidence against:** The manifest exposes a CLI and lists no install, preinstall, or postinstall lifecycle script., The repository access probe reads refs and uses the supplied provider URL; the source says it writes nothing. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to mtech-ai-local-runner@0.1.77. - Review the evidence and your use of mtech-ai-local-runner@0.1.77 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.
