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. Inspected source explains the scanner flags through package-local setup, notebook execution capabilities, fixed resource probes, and bundled library code. No concrete malicious chain or unresolved warning-worthy behavior was established. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-06T09:59:26.486Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-06T10:00:55.365Z - **Download time:** 771 ms - **Static scan time:** 3107 ms - **AI review time:** 85000 ms - **Total time:** 88879 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 concrete attack was identified. Inspected execution and network behavior supports the notebook server, resource monitoring, and update notifications. - **Trigger:** Installation invokes a guarded setup hook; an explicit CLI invocation starts the server. - **Impact:** No confirmed credential exfiltration, remote payload execution, or install-time foreign agent control mutation was found. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-06T10:00:55.365Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook skips node\_modules installations, while runtime code launches local helpers and uses authentication guards. No malicious mechanism was established. - **Rationale:** Inspected source explains the scanner flags through package-local setup, notebook execution capabilities, fixed resource probes, and bundled library code. No concrete malicious chain or unresolved warning-worthy behavior was established. - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org/nebula-notebook/latest ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json invokes a postinstall hook that exits under node\_modules; otherwise it installs dependencies within package subdirectories. No runtime self-dependency was found., The CLI launches the bundled Node server and passes through user arguments., The resource service executes fixed GPU inspection commands with bounded timeouts., The flagged browser bundle contains translation plural-expression compilation, Jupyter configuration loading, and schema-validation code., The update checker fetches package version metadata from the npm registry and reports availability without executing downloaded code., The server applies authentication middleware, and explicit no-auth mode requires a loopback bind address. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to nebula-notebook@0.2.68. - Review the evidence and your use of nebula-notebook@0.2.68 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.
