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 postinstall binary setup with pinned project releases and SHA-256 checks, plus runtime behavior consistent with local agent and provider use. The reported credential redirect is not supported by the inspected provider configuration, which reads user vault keys for named providers. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-20T09:38:34.862Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-20T09:40:09.225Z - **Download time:** 1031 ms - **Static scan time:** 17437 ms - **AI review time:** 75894 ms - **Total time:** 94363 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 source. The install hook sets up project runtime binaries, and the reviewed credential and agent paths are consistent with the package's provider and CLI functions. - **Trigger:** Package installation triggers the two binary installers; provider and agent code runs when those runtime features are used. - **Impact:** No unauthorized credential transfer, destructive behavior, or other confirmed attack impact was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-20T09:40:09.225Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The installers fetch pinned releases from the project GitHub repositories and verify their digests. Provider keys come from the user's vault, while inspected agent helpers use local user configuration and session files. - **Rationale:** Source inspection found a postinstall binary setup with pinned project releases and SHA-256 checks, plus runtime behavior consistent with local agent and provider use. The reported credential redirect is not supported by the inspected provider configuration, which reads user vault keys for named providers. - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/maestrojeong/browser-rs-mcp/releases/download/${VERSION}, https://github.com/maestrojeong/bash-rs-mcp/releases/download/${VERSION} ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The postinstall hook runs two installers that fetch version-pinned project releases and check each binary against a SHA-256 value before writing it., Maestro provider keys are read from the user's vault for named providers and passed to the provider configuration; the inspected flow shows no fixed unofficial gateway., The inspected Codex server launch uses the local runtime and communicates over standard input and output., The inspected agent paths use the user's Codex home or the default home directory for authentication and scoped runtime configuration., Claude rollout helpers write or move session records within the user's Claude projects directory., The query runtime excerpt initializes a local SQLite adapter. - **Evidence against:** Installation triggers a postinstall hook, and the runtime handles provider credentials and launches local agent processes; the inspected source shows these behaviors in product-related flows. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to negotium@0.22.3. - Review the evidence and your use of negotium@0.22.3 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.
