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 manifest’s prepare hook only runs SvelteKit synchronization, and the CLI network paths inspected serve Postboi product features. The scanner’s credential labels were not supported by source showing browser credential collection or unrelated credential transfer. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-24T15:05:20.977Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-24T15:06:50.230Z - **Download time:** 1776 ms - **Static scan time:** 3612 ms - **AI review time:** 83864 ms - **Total time:** 89253 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 attack surface was identified in the inspected source. The flagged CLI behavior is tied to Postboi product operations, and the inbox art file exports embedded image data. - **Trigger:** No malicious trigger was found; the reviewed network operations occur when a developer requests the corresponding API or inbox screenshot operation. - **Impact:** No harmful impact was identified in the reviewed source. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-24T15:06:50.230Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** No malicious mechanism was found. The CLI uses a configured Postboi token for product API requests, while the webhook handler validates signatures with the configured secret. - **Rationale:** The manifest’s prepare hook only runs SvelteKit synchronization, and the CLI network paths inspected serve Postboi product features. The scanner’s credential labels were not supported by source showing browser credential collection or unrelated credential transfer. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json’s prepare script runs SvelteKit synchronization and exposes dist/cli.js as the postboi command., The CLI requires a POST to the inbox screenshot route and a configured POSTBOI\_TOKEN before uploading a capture to the Postboi testing API., The inspected inbox runtime hint subscribes to local store changes and removes the subscription when the connection closes., inbox\_art.js exports embedded PNG data as an asset map., The views client requires a Postboi token and sends it as a bearer token to the configured API, defaulting to postboi.app., The Vonage webhook handler checks the HS256 signature using the configured secret. - **Evidence against:** Scanner labels report credential exfiltration and browser credential collection in dist/cli.js; inspected source instead shows product API operations, with no browser credential-store collection identified. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to postboi@0.75.0. - Review the evidence and your use of postboi@0.75.0 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.
