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. Source inspection found a prompted postinstall onboarding flow and user-invoked product operations, with no verified attack behavior. Static scanner signals around lifecycle execution and credentials reflect these inspected features rather than a concrete attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-18T03:33:15.098Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-18T03:34:06.089Z - **Download time:** 764 ms - **Static scan time:** 1559 ms - **AI review time:** 48666 ms - **Total time:** 50991 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 surface was identified in the inspected source. The postinstall onboarding asks before installing the package’s skill, and the inspected runtime behavior supports local wallet operations and authenticated service or RPC calls. - **Trigger:** Package installation runs the postinstall onboarding; other inspected behavior requires invoking CLI wallet, trading, or MCP commands. - **Impact:** No confirmed unauthorized credential transfer, consumer configuration abuse, or other attack impact was identified. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-18T03:34:06.089Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The onboarding prompts before launching the skill installer. Wallet credentials are read from local stores, and the inspected simulation request rejects redirects when credentials are present. - **Rationale:** Source inspection found a prompted postinstall onboarding flow and user-invoked product operations, with no verified attack behavior. Static scanner signals around lifecycle execution and credentials reflect these inspected features rather than a concrete attack. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The install hook invokes an onboarding script that asks before installing the Nansen skill; it declines by default., The MCP configuration location depends on an explicitly selected client, and the package entrypoint dispatches caller-supplied CLI arguments., Flagged wallet-password references retrieve local environment, keychain, or credentials-file values for wallet and trading operations; the inspected excerpts show no unrelated recipient., The inspected simulation request rejects redirects when credentials are present, limiting credential forwarding to the selected RPC endpoint., The inspected wallet, trading, order, and transfer code concerns user-invoked product operations; no concrete attack behavior was identified. - **Evidence against:** The package has a postinstall hook, and its onboarding can run an npx command after the user accepts the prompt., Wallet and trading code handles locally stored passwords and sends authenticated requests to service or RPC endpoints. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to nansen-cli@2.1.0. - Review the evidence and your use of nansen-cli@2.1.0 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.
