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 postinstall hook can change the consumer project’s npm script approvals. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-09T09:34:13.962Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-09T09:34:52.605Z - **Download time:** 1035 ms - **Static scan time:** 750 ms - **AI review time:** 36857 ms - **Total time:** 38643 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:** The postinstall hook can change the consumer project’s npm script approvals. - **Trigger:** Installing the package through npm, which invokes its postinstall script. - **Impact:** Those approvals may permit dependency install scripts to run without an explicit project-level approval. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install-static-checkers.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T09:34:52.605Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The installer scans installed dependencies for lifecycle scripts and adds name-only allowScripts approvals to the consumer package manifest. - **Rationale:** The automatic postinstall mutation broadly approves dependency lifecycle scripts in the consumer project, creating a concrete security risk. The inspected Pushover code sends to its fixed service endpoint and does not add a separate confirmed attack surface. - **Files touched:** consumer package.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** package.json runs the checker installer during postinstall., The postinstall path scans consumer dependencies and adds name-only allowScripts approvals for packages with install lifecycle scripts., The installer writes the merged approvals into the consumer project’s package.json. - **Evidence against:** The Pushover notification code posts to the fixed api.pushover.net endpoint; this does not establish an unrelated credential destination. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to pi-usereq@0.72.0. - Review the evidence and your use of pi-usereq@0.72.0 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.
