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 inspected credential and network code supports Postboi service operations, while the scanner hints do not prove harvesting or exfiltration. The CLI’s agent-skill writes are a real package-owned integration capability reached through user commands, so a warning is appropriate without evidence of an active attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-08T22:01:27.031Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-08T22:02:02.350Z - **Download time:** 1542 ms - **Static scan time:** 3018 ms - **AI review time:** 30758 ms - **Total time:** 35319 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 CLI can write a bundled Postboi agent skill into project agent directories and update an existing skill during explicit commands. This is a package-owned integration capability; no confirmed malicious attack surface was established. - **Trigger:** Running the \`postboi skill\` or \`postboi sync\` command; \`postboi init --agent\` can also offer skill setup. - **Impact:** Project agent instructions may be changed to include Postboi guidance, and the skill can follow the installed package on future releases. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-08T22:02:02.350Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI installs or refreshes its bundled skill and may append a Postboi pointer to an existing \`AGENTS.md\`. Initial setup is prompted when the target skill is absent; an existing skill can be refreshed without another prompt. - **Rationale:** The inspected credential and network code supports Postboi service operations, while the scanner hints do not prove harvesting or exfiltration. The CLI’s agent-skill writes are a real package-owned integration capability reached through user commands, so a warning is appropriate without evidence of an active attack. - **Files touched:** dist/cli.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The \`prepare\` hook runs \`svelte-kit sync\`; the manifest does not define an install or postinstall hook., The CLI targets package-owned skill files under \`.claude/skills/postboi\` and \`.agents/skills/postboi\`., The explicit \`skill\` command installs or refreshes the bundled skill; \`sync\` also calls the refresh function., When refreshing an existing skill, the CLI can rewrite it and append a Postboi pointer to an existing \`AGENTS.md\`., The token-bearing request code inspected uses a Postboi token with the Postboi service client; no unrelated credential recipient was identified., \`dist/views.js\` begins with imports for its view and encoding modules; no suspicious behavior was identified there. - **Evidence against:** No source evidence inspected established browser credential harvesting, shell-output exfiltration, or another active attack; the scanner labels alone do not establish those behaviors. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to postboi@0.66.0. - Review the evidence and your use of postboi@0.66.0 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.
