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. Source shows global agent configuration mutation through explicit CLI execution, which merits a behavior-specific warning under the supplied policy. The inspected behavior does not establish malicious intent or a block-eligible installation attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-30T16:27:40.480Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-30T16:29:55.861Z - **Download time:** 1267 ms - **Static scan time:** 764 ms - **AI review time:** 133349 ms - **Total time:** 135381 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. A frontend command can also persist global skills; these capabilities warrant a warning, but no confirmed malicious attack was established. - **Trigger:** Explicit CLI execution; receiving a skill\_add command during a connected session. - **Impact:** Changes affect Claude's compaction, session retention, and available instructions beyond the current project. - **Evidence paths:** bin/cli.js, dist/index.js, dist/claude-llm.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-30T16:29:55.861Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Module initialization rewrites Claude settings, and the skill command saves supplied instructions into the global skills directory. - **Rationale:** Source shows global agent configuration mutation through explicit CLI execution, which merits a behavior-specific warning under the supplied policy. The inspected behavior does not establish malicious intent or a block-eligible installation attack. - **Files touched:** .claude/settings.json, .claude/skills ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The CLI launches dist/index.js, which imports dist/claude-llm.js., Module initialization changes global Claude settings, setting the compaction window to 1000000 and retention to 3650 days., The skill\_add frontend command writes supplied content into the user's global Claude skills directory., package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook. - **Evidence against:** The configuration changes support the package's coding-assistant functionality., No concrete malicious installation chain or credential theft was established. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to osborn@0.9.249. - Review the evidence and your use of osborn@0.9.249 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.
