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 suspicious scanner leads resolve to expected provider authentication and product features. The CLI syncs credentials only during an explicit setup flow with a Postboi account token, and describes the action as team credential sync; no unrelated credential collection or exfiltration was identified. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-29T15:13:26.734Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-29T15:14:24.044Z - **Download time:** 508 ms - **Static scan time:** 3821 ms - **AI review time:** 52980 ms - **Total time:** 57310 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 identified; the reviewed network and credential flows match the package's email-provider SDK and CLI setup purpose. - **Trigger:** Network requests occur when users invoke provider or inbox features; team credential sync is part of the explicit CLI init flow when signed into Postboi. - **Impact:** Expected provider operations and account credential sync; no unrelated collection or concealed credential transfer was identified. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-29T15:14:24.044Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Provider credentials go to their configured providers; the CLI's documented team-sync flow sends entered credentials to the configured Postboi account. - **Rationale:** The suspicious scanner leads resolve to expected provider authentication and product features. The CLI syncs credentials only during an explicit setup flow with a Postboi account token, and describes the action as team credential sync; no unrelated credential collection or exfiltration was identified. - **Files touched:** .env files selected during CLI setup - **Network endpoints:** login.microsoftonline.com, graph.microsoft.com, api.postboi.app ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The CLI is the \`postboi\` binary; its prepare script runs \`svelte-kit sync\` and does not contact a network service., Provider credentials are collected during the explicit \`init\` flow, saved to selected environment files, and may be synced to the Postboi account when \`POSTBOI\_TOKEN\` is available., The CLI’s team sync filters out \`POSTBOI\_\` variables and reports that credentials were synced to the user's Postboi account., Microsoft 365 client credentials are sent to Microsoft's OAuth endpoint to obtain a Graph token. - **Evidence against:** The CLI can upload third-party provider credentials during \`init\` without a separate confirmation immediately before syncing, when a Postboi account token is present; the flow describes this as team credential sync. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to postboi@0.77.0. - Review the evidence and your use of postboi@0.77.0 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.
