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. This is not concrete malware, but its explicit setup path installs a prepare hook and handles credential synchronization. Per policy, retain a warn verdict for this dangerous lifecycle capability. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-25T14:13:28.308Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-25T14:14:35.066Z - **Download time:** 505 ms - **Static scan time:** 4353 ms - **AI review time:** 61899 ms - **Total time:** 66758 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 explicit postboi CLI setup can modify the current project's prepare hook and synchronize credentials to Postboi. No unconsented install-time execution or covert exfiltration was found. - **Trigger:** User runs postboi init, sync, or env push. - **Impact:** Later project prepares can run postboi sync; selected credentials may be sent to the user's Postboi account. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/cli.js, dist/workers\_env.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-25T14:14:35.066Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** authenticated credential sync and project lifecycle configuration - **Rationale:** This is not concrete malware, but its explicit setup path installs a prepare hook and handles credential synchronization. Per policy, retain a warn verdict for this dangerous lifecycle capability. - **Files touched:** package.json, .env, .env.local, .gitignore, postboi.config.ts - **Network endpoints:** https://postboi.app/v1/env ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** CLI can add \`postboi sync\` to the invoking project's prepare lifecycle., CLI uploads selected credential values to Postboi's authenticated /v1/env endpoint. - **Evidence against:** No preinstall, install, or postinstall hook is declared., The lifecycle mutation is in a user-invoked CLI setup path, not package installation., Credential syncing requires POSTBOI\_TOKEN and is presented as team syncing., Dynamic Cloudflare import is guarded to the Cloudflare Workers runtime. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to postboi@0.39.0. - Review the evidence and your use of postboi@0.39.0 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.
