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 credential-phishing hint resolves to a disabled mock field, while the CLI’s device authorization is part of its user-invoked setup flow. The manifest and flagged runtime files show ordinary setup, asset, inbox, key-validation, and webhook-verification behavior, with no confirmed malicious action. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 97.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-25T12:48:32.854Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-25T12:50:08.158Z - **Download time:** 1022 ms - **Static scan time:** 3678 ms - **AI review time:** 90603 ms - **Total time:** 95304 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 credential-like match is disabled mockup markup, and the CLI’s device flow belongs to its setup command. - **Trigger:** The device flow starts when a user invokes init. - **Impact:** No malicious impact was identified in the reviewed source. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-25T12:50:08.158Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** No credential harvesting or unrelated data transfer was found; the CLI uses a device authorization flow with the configured Postboi service. - **Rationale:** The credential-phishing hint resolves to a disabled mock field, while the CLI’s device authorization is part of its user-invoked setup flow. The manifest and flagged runtime files show ordinary setup, asset, inbox, key-validation, and webhook-verification behavior, with no confirmed malicious action. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest maps a CLI command and its prepare hook runs SvelteKit synchronization; the hook shows no credential handling., The CLI uses Postboi’s service base for device authorization, reached through the user-invoked init flow., The password-like match is a disabled field in a local-edition sign-on mockup., The inbox server provides an event stream for open-tab updates., The artwork module exports a base64-encoded image asset., The other flagged source paths validate view keys and verify Vonage webhook signatures. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to postboi@0.76.0. - Review the evidence and your use of postboi@0.76.0 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.
