Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: manual review; recommendation: manual review. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. No confirmed attack surface was established from the inspected paths. A reported credential redirection in the large bundled server remains unresolved. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 62.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-07T21:07:58.713Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-07T21:09:28.585Z - **Download time:** 2041 ms - **Static scan time:** 34336 ms - **AI review time:** 53493 ms - **Total time:** 89872 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 confirmed attack surface was established from the inspected paths. A reported credential redirection in the large bundled server remains unresolved. - **Trigger:** Unclear; the reported server behavior was not verified in inspected source. - **Impact:** No concrete malicious impact was verified. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-07T21:09:28.585Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The inspected agent command resolves keys by provider, and the built-in OpenRouter configuration uses OpenRouter’s endpoint. The bundled server’s reported credential redirect could not be confirmed or ruled out. - **Rationale:** The inspected manifest and agent integration excerpts do not support install-hook abuse or unconsented agent configuration changes, and the inspected credential paths are provider-aligned. The large bundled server’s reported credential redirect remains unresolved, so manual review is appropriate. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 62.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** package.json defines no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The agent command resolves credentials from caller options, provider-specific environment variables, or stored provider configuration., The built-in OpenRouter provider sends its API key to OpenRouter’s API endpoint., The flagged agent integration locations copy documentation assets into the package’s public build output., The eval finding is in a test that evaluates a bridge script inside jsdom. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to shadow-claw@1.34.5. - Review the evidence and your use of shadow-claw@1.34.5 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.
