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. This is a dangerous runtime capability with unguarded global Claude configuration writes, but not a demonstrated malicious install-time or exfiltration chain. The scanner's claimed credential-exfiltration finding was not confirmed by source inspection. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-13T02:18:00.246Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-13T02:19:08.124Z - **Download time:** 763 ms - **Static scan time:** 757 ms - **AI review time:** 66357 ms - **Total time:** 67878 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:** Running the CLI changes global Claude settings and can persist model-derived skills. An explicit IDE request can download and run the code-server installer. - **Trigger:** Run osborn; the installer additionally requires a start\_ide request. - **Impact:** Claude configuration and skills can persist outside the package; the IDE feature trusts a remote installation script. - **Evidence paths:** dist/claude-llm.js, dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-13T02:19:08.124Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Runtime Claude configuration writes and a shell-piped remote installer. - **Rationale:** This is a dangerous runtime capability with unguarded global Claude configuration writes, but not a demonstrated malicious install-time or exfiltration chain. The scanner's claimed credential-exfiltration finding was not confirmed by source inspection. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.claude/skills/learned-behaviors/SKILL.md - **Network endpoints:** https://code-server.dev/install.sh ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** Running the package changes global Claude settings at module load., A post-compaction hook writes model-derived content into global Claude skill files., An explicit IDE request downloads and runs a remote shell installer. - **Evidence against:** The manifest has only a prepublish build hook, not an install lifecycle hook., The remote installer is reached only from the explicit start\_ide handler., No source evidence shows environment or credential values being sent to an unrelated endpoint. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to osborn@0.9.178. - Review the evidence and your use of osborn@0.9.178 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.
