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 package has no install lifecycle hook, and its CLI starts only on direct invocation. The reviewed Codex flow validates a loopback MCP endpoint and a restricted local session before a model turn; the scanner’s review-related README match appears to describe product behavior rather than direct reviewer manipulation. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-31T05:18:19.581Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-31T05:18:48.814Z - **Download time:** 520 ms - **Static scan time:** 1924 ms - **AI review time:** 26788 ms - **Total time:** 29233 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. The package provides an explicitly invoked local AI runner with a loopback MCP endpoint and a native Codex session. - **Trigger:** A user invokes a CLI command such as login, once, or run; importing the CLI alone does not invoke main. - **Impact:** No malicious data collection, account action, or unauthorized execution was identified in the inspected paths. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T05:18:48.814Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The runner uses a loopback MCP endpoint and checks Codex session identity, permissions, policy, and tool inventory before starting a model turn. - **Rationale:** The package has no install lifecycle hook, and its CLI starts only on direct invocation. The reviewed Codex flow validates a loopback MCP endpoint and a restricted local session before a model turn; the scanner’s review-related README match appears to describe product behavior rather than direct reviewer manipulation. - **Network endpoints:** 127.0.0.1:\/mcp ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest has no install, preinstall, or postinstall hook; its scripts build or run explicit CLI commands., The CLI calls main only when invoked directly, so importing it does not start the runner., The Codex pre-model gate accepts only a loopback HTTP endpoint at 127.0.0.1 with the expected /mcp path., Codex sessions require an ephemeral, read-only, network-disabled local job profile and validate policy and tool inventory before sending a model turn. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to mtech-ai-local-runner@0.1.80. - Review the evidence and your use of mtech-ai-local-runner@0.1.80 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.
