Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The extension starts recurring and shutdown-triggered model work by default, passing session context to a background worker that scans prior sessions and writes project memory. Because this can use the configured provider’s quota or credits without a per-run request, treat it as malicious default autonomous resource use. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-30T21:56:31.029Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-30T21:57:30.080Z - **Download time:** 1773 ms - **Static scan time:** 6772 ms - **AI review time:** 50504 ms - **Total time:** 59051 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:** Default-on background memory processing can use the configured model provider and process session content without a per-run request. - **Trigger:** Interactive session start schedules recurring runs; session quit can trigger a run as well. - **Impact:** Session content is processed and persisted without the user requesting each run, with potential unrequested model usage and charges. - **Evidence paths:** extensions/orchestrator/dreaming.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T21:57:30.080Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The extension launches an asynchronous worker with the session file and instructions to scan prior sessions, extract memories, and write project memory. These model calls can consume the user’s configured provider quota or credits. - **Attack narrative:** Dreaming starts enabled and is activated on interactive session start; it also runs on session quit. The extension launches a fire-and-forget worker that receives session-file context and is instructed to process prior sessions and update project memory. This can cause unrequested model-provider usage and process session contents without a per-run request. A \`/dream-auto off\` command exists, but users must opt out. - **Rationale:** The extension starts recurring and shutdown-triggered model work by default, passing session context to a background worker that scans prior sessions and writes project memory. Because this can use the configured provider’s quota or credits without a per-run request, treat it as malicious default autonomous resource use. - **Files touched:** Project session files under the pi sessions directory, Project memory topic files under getProjectMemoryDir(cwd), Project .pi/skills/\/SKILL.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** Dreaming is enabled by default; an interactive session starts its timer, and quitting can trigger a dream., The background worker receives the session file and is instructed to process earlier sessions and update project memory., The worker is spawned fire-and-forget, so the user need not request each model run. - **Evidence against:** The behavior is presented as automatic memory consolidation, with a \`/dream-auto\` command to disable it., Image generation is a separate explicit tool that sends its prompt and API key to Google’s Gemini endpoint., The manifest’s only lifecycle-adjacent script is \`prepack\`, which builds the package’s UI assets. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to pi-orchestrator-config@4.20.0. - Avoid installing pi-orchestrator-config@4.20.0. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
