Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The inspected credential transfer is a form CAPTCHA check sent to Cloudflare Turnstile, and the runtime caller invokes it during form processing. The \`prepare\` hook runs SvelteKit sync, while agent skill setup is a CLI action scoped to Postboi project files. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-16T10:36:01.846Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-16T10:38:42.200Z - **Download time:** 767 ms - **Static scan time:** 3320 ms - **AI review time:** 156265 ms - **Total time:** 160354 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:** No malicious attack surface was identified in the inspected source. The credential-bearing request is part of CAPTCHA verification, and the agent skill behavior is project-scoped CLI setup. - **Trigger:** A consumer submits a form for CAPTCHA verification or invokes the Postboi CLI setup flow. - **Impact:** No unrelated credential recipient or unconsented broad agent configuration change was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-16T10:38:42.200Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The package sends CAPTCHA verification data to Cloudflare Turnstile. CLI setup can install or refresh a Postboi-specific agent skill, asking before installing a missing skill. - **Rationale:** The inspected credential transfer is a form CAPTCHA check sent to Cloudflare Turnstile, and the runtime caller invokes it during form processing. The \`prepare\` hook runs SvelteKit sync, while agent skill setup is a CLI action scoped to Postboi project files. - **Files touched:** package.json, dist/cli.js, dist/captcha.js, dist/index.js - **Network endpoints:** https://challenges.cloudflare.com/turnstile/v0/siteverify ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The only install lifecycle hook is \`prepare\`, which runs SvelteKit sync., The CLI’s agent skill uses Postboi-specific project paths and is offered during CLI setup; a missing skill requires confirmation before installation., CAPTCHA verification posts the secret, submitted token, and optional remote IP to Cloudflare Turnstile., The runtime caller checks CAPTCHA when processing a submitted form, before parsing it for email sending. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to postboi@0.71.0. - Review the evidence and your use of postboi@0.71.0 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.
