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 lifecycle download is package-aligned, hash-verified, and scoped to Negotium-owned storage. Scanner claims of credential redirection and foreign-package overwrite were not substantiated by the inspected source. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-24T05:25:46.831Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-24T05:27:08.329Z - **Download time:** 506 ms - **Static scan time:** 15283 ms - **AI review time:** 65708 ms - **Total time:** 81498 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:** Installation downloads two hash-pinned first-party helper binaries into Negotium's own state directory. No confirmed malicious attack chain is present. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall; cron-summary runtime use - **Impact:** Installs package-aligned executables; optional cron summaries disclose their supplied prompt to the configured model endpoint. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, install-browser-rs.mjs, install-bash-rs.mjs, dist/runtime/cron/summarize.ts, dist/mcp-factories.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-24T05:27:08.329Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** verified helper-binary installation and configured API request - **Rationale:** The lifecycle download is package-aligned, hash-verified, and scoped to Negotium-owned storage. Scanner claims of credential redirection and foreign-package overwrite were not substantiated by the inspected source. - **Files touched:** install-browser-rs.mjs, install-bash-rs.mjs, ~/.negotium/binaries/browser-rs/v0.1.23/browser-rs, ~/.negotium/binaries/bash-rs/v0.1.7/bash-rs - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/maestrojeong/browser-rs-mcp/releases/download/${VERSION}, https://github.com/maestrojeong/bash-rs-mcp/releases/download/${VERSION}, https://api.deepseek.com/v1/chat/completions ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** Postinstall downloads and installs hash-verified browser-rs and bash-rs executables., Cron summary runtime can send a configured API key and task text to the configured DeepSeek-compatible endpoint. - **Evidence against:** Downloads are SHA-256 verified and written only under Negotium's state directory., No source evidence of foreign agent-config overwrite, credential redirection, hidden exfiltration, or remote code loading., Codex configuration is read to identify existing MCP names; per-session SDK config is passed in memory. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to negotium@0.6.9. - Review the evidence and your use of negotium@0.6.9 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.
