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 and required source excerpts show no install-time attack. The flagged agent-related code supports interactive plugin management and provider discovery, with no inspected evidence of secret forwarding or unconsented configuration changes. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 78.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-08T17:51:37.893Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-08T17:52:05.607Z - **Download time:** 1794 ms - **Static scan time:** 1227 ms - **AI review time:** 24692 ms - **Total time:** 27714 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 was identified from the inspected source. Plugin installation is exposed through the package’s interactive manager, and the panel excerpt only reads agent authentication files. - **Trigger:** Using the CLI or interactive plugin manager; no npm install hook was found. - **Impact:** No confirmed credential theft, unconsented agent configuration mutation, or other attack effect was established. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-08T17:52:05.607Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The inspected plugin flow validates the selected row and source reference before calling its installer. The panel reads auth files to determine which providers are configured. - **Rationale:** The manifest and required source excerpts show no install-time attack. The flagged agent-related code supports interactive plugin management and provider discovery, with no inspected evidence of secret forwarding or unconsented configuration changes. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 78.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json exposes the CLI through scripts/psyclaw.mjs; its only publication hook is prepublishOnly, with no install lifecycle hook., The recommended plugin installer checks installability and source presence before proceeding; the inspected flow is user initiated through the plugin manager., The panel reads agent auth files to identify configured provider names; the inspected code does not show credential values being sent elsewhere., User skill roots include host agent directories, supporting skill discovery rather than an install-time configuration change., The flagged Python file is pytest fixture setup, and the TUI excerpt shows a command runner used by the app. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to psyclaw@0.30.8. - Review the evidence and your use of psyclaw@0.30.8 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.
