Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The install hook automatically retrieves an opaque executable, which the package CLI later runs. The source shows a project-aligned GitHub endpoint and no install-time execution of the downloaded file, so the unresolved payload merits a warning rather than a block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-09T22:53:15.585Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-09T22:53:33.880Z - **Download time:** 504 ms - **Static scan time:** 20 ms - **AI review time:** 17770 ms - **Total time:** 18295 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:** Installation fetches an opaque platform executable from the project's GitHub releases and stores it for later use. No confirmed attack was established from the inspected source. - **Trigger:** Installing the npm package triggers its postinstall script; invoking the CLI runs the downloaded executable. - **Impact:** The executable supplies code that runs when the CLI is invoked, but its behavior cannot be assessed from the inspected JavaScript source. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-09T22:53:33.880Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The script selects an asset by platform and architecture, downloads it over HTTPS, and writes it into bin without visible integrity verification. - **Rationale:** The install hook automatically retrieves an opaque executable, which the package CLI later runs. The source shows a project-aligned GitHub endpoint and no install-time execution of the downloaded file, so the unresolved payload merits a warning rather than a block. - **Files touched:** bin/rivemcp - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/paradoxsyn/rivemcp-releases/releases/download/ ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package runs scripts/postinstall.mjs automatically during installation., The postinstall downloads a platform-specific executable from the project's GitHub releases and writes it into the package bin directory., The CLI shim runs that downloaded executable when invoked; its contents are not present for source inspection. - **Evidence against:** The inspected postinstall source downloads and stores the executable but does not execute it during installation., The download host and release path match the package's project. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to rivemcp@1.15.0. - Review the evidence and your use of rivemcp@1.15.0 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.
