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. The automatic persistent Claude configuration mutation merits a warning under the explicit-user-command agent configuration policy. It is not supported as malware because the package lacks an install lifecycle trigger and no concrete exfiltration or payload execution was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-27T07:27:46.600Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-27T07:30:44.339Z - **Download time:** 509 ms - **Static scan time:** 710 ms - **AI review time:** 176519 ms - **Total time:** 177739 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 main package runtime automatically changes global Claude configuration values. No npm-install-time attack was identified. - **Trigger:** A user runs the package command that loads the main runtime. - **Impact:** The package can alter persistent Claude behavior for the local user without a separate configuration prompt. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.js, dist/claude-llm.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-27T07:30:44.339Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Module-load code reads, creates if necessary, and rewrites the user's Claude settings file to set compaction and cleanup preferences. - **Rationale:** The automatic persistent Claude configuration mutation merits a warning under the explicit-user-command agent configuration policy. It is not supported as malware because the package lacks an install lifecycle trigger and no concrete exfiltration or payload execution was found. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/settings.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The package exposes command-line binaries and declares no install lifecycle hook., The main runtime imports the Claude LLM module., That module reads and modifies the user's Claude settings file, including compaction and retention values, and invokes this setup at module load., The settings change is triggered by running the package rather than during npm installation. - **Evidence against:** No install, preinstall, or postinstall hook was declared., The inspected configuration change is limited to Claude settings and does not establish credential export or remote payload execution. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to osborn@0.9.235. - Review the evidence and your use of osborn@0.9.235 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.
