Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. A user-run media-download command can retrieve and execute third-party downloader binaries without a pinned version, signature, or checksum verification. This is a supply-chain remote-code-execution capability, but it is not activated during npm installation. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-08T19:24:23.192Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-08T19:25:21.261Z - **Download time:** 251 ms - **Static scan time:** 513 ms - **AI review time:** 57304 ms - **Total time:** 58069 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:** A user-run media-download command can retrieve and execute third-party downloader binaries without a pinned version, signature, or checksum verification. This is a supply-chain remote-code-execution capability, but it is not activated during npm installation. - **Trigger:** The user runs the CLI for a download when no local downloader exists, or explicitly requests an engine update. - **Impact:** A compromised release endpoint or substituted release asset could run code as the invoking user. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-08T19:25:21.261Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Fetches, chmods, stores, and spawns remote downloader executables. - **Rationale:** This is an explicit user-invoked downloader feature rather than an install-time attack, but its unsigned remote binary bootstrap is a concrete dangerous capability. No source evidence establishes malicious intent or automatic package-install execution. - **Files touched:** ~/.open-omni/bin/yt-dlp, ~/.open-omni/bin/gallery-dl - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/latest/download, https://codeberg.org/api/v1/repos/mikf/gallery-dl/releases/latest, https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl/releases/latest/download ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The CLI fetches the latest yt-dlp executable, makes it executable, and stores it in the user's home directory without an integrity check., The fetched yt-dlp path is passed directly to a child process for execution., It also accepts a gallery-dl release asset URL from a remote API and saves that executable locally. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no install, preinstall, or postinstall lifecycle hook., The remote executable retrieval occurs when the user runs the CLI to download media or request an engine update., The inspected code shows no credential harvesting, secret exfiltration, stealth persistence, or agent-control-surface changes. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to open-omni@1.0.0. - Review the evidence and your use of open-omni@1.0.0 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.
