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. Static inspection establishes explicit-command agent configuration mutation, which warrants a warning under the supplied policy. No installation lifecycle trigger or concrete malicious chain supports blocking publication. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-30T16:22:28.915Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-30T16:24:59.744Z - **Download time:** 763 ms - **Static scan time:** 759 ms - **AI review time:** 149306 ms - **Total time:** 150829 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 enables frontend-driven skill writes. This is a concrete agent configuration capability, but no confirmed malicious attack or install-time hijack was established. - **Trigger:** Explicitly launching osborn; skill writes additionally require a skill\_add message through the connected room. - **Impact:** Changes affect Claude session retention and compaction beyond Osborn, and added skills can influence later agent behavior. - **Evidence paths:** bin/cli.js, dist/index.js, dist/claude-llm.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-30T16:24:59.744Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** An imported module merges settings into the user's Claude settings file, while the frontend message handler writes supplied skill content into the global skills directory. - **Rationale:** Static inspection establishes explicit-command agent configuration mutation, which warrants a warning under the supplied policy. No installation lifecycle trigger or concrete malicious chain supports blocking publication. - **Files touched:** .claude, settings.json, SKILL.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The explicit CLI launches dist/index.js, which imports dist/claude-llm.js., At module load, dist/claude-llm.js rewrites global Claude settings, setting the compaction window and retaining sessions for 3650 days without a separate consent check., The connected frontend can send skill\_add messages that write content into the user's global Claude skills directory., package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook and no runtime self-dependency. - **Evidence against:** The configuration changes support the voice coding assistant's runtime functionality., Inspected authentication fallback uses an OpenRouter key for OpenRouter and returns early when Claude authentication is available; no concrete credential theft was established. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to osborn@0.9.248. - Review the evidence and your use of osborn@0.9.248 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.
