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 CLI has a concrete agent-configuration capability that runs through an explicit user command, so a warning is appropriate. The credential-related source instead shows Turnstile verification, and the manifest’s prepare command is Svelte synchronization. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-13T11:20:59.439Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-13T11:29:51.902Z - **Download time:** 513 ms - **Static scan time:** 3101 ms - **AI review time:** 528848 ms - **Total time:** 532463 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 set up Postboi agent guidance in a project. This is a real agent-configuration capability, but the inspected route is an explicit CLI command. - **Trigger:** A user invokes the postboi skill command. - **Impact:** Project agent guidance can be added or updated, influencing how coding agents handle the project’s email-related work. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-13T11:29:51.902Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The command installs or refreshes skill files and may append a Postboi pointer to an existing AGENTS.md file. - **Rationale:** The CLI has a concrete agent-configuration capability that runs through an explicit user command, so a warning is appropriate. The credential-related source instead shows Turnstile verification, and the manifest’s prepare command is Svelte synchronization. - **Files touched:** .claude/skills/postboi/SKILL.md, .agents/skills/postboi/SKILL.md, AGENTS.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** package.json defines prepare as a Svelte sync command; the agent-file setup is exposed through the CLI., The CLI maps the explicit skill command to the skill setup function., The skill setup targets project agent skill files and may add a Postboi section to AGENTS.md., When AGENTS.md exists and lacks a Postboi reference, the helper appends a pointer to the skill., The inspected credential path verifies a Turnstile token and forwards it to the verification flow. - **Evidence against:** The inspected CLI route requires an explicit skill command; the manifest does not assign agent-file setup to its prepare script., The credential-related excerpts show captcha verification, not credential harvesting or disclosure. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to postboi@0.68.1. - Review the evidence and your use of postboi@0.68.1 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.
