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 has no lifecycle hooks, and the setup and persistence paths are reached through an explicit CLI install flow. The included native helper is opaque and ad hoc-signed, but the inspected source describes and verifies it as the enrolled Slaunt service; I found no concrete malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-02T15:22:50.827Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-02T15:23:35.310Z - **Download time:** 517 ms - **Static scan time:** 461 ms - **AI review time:** 43504 ms - **Total time:** 44483 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. The package provides an explicitly invoked Slaunt setup CLI that configures selected clients and enrolls Slaunt background components. - **Trigger:** A user runs \`slaunt-hooks install\` and selects Codex, Claude Code, or both. - **Impact:** Selected clients are configured to use Slaunt; enrolled Slaunt helper processes can persist across login. No unrelated credential collection or account actions were identified. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-02T15:23:35.310Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The installer performs Slaunt OAuth and enrollment, updates selected client settings, then verifies and registers the macOS helper and, for Claude, a broker launch agent. - **Rationale:** The manifest has no lifecycle hooks, and the setup and persistence paths are reached through an explicit CLI install flow. The included native helper is opaque and ad hoc-signed, but the inspected source describes and verifies it as the enrolled Slaunt service; I found no concrete malicious behavior. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude.json, ~/.codex/config.toml, ~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.codex/hooks.json, ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ai.slaunt.claude-broker.plist, ~/Library/Application Support/Slaunt/KillBar/SlauntKillBar.app - **Network endpoints:** https://central-mcp-ccr-production.up.railway.app, https://central-mcp-ccr-production.up.railway.app/mcp ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest defines CLI binaries and test scripts, with no install, preinstall, or postinstall hook., The CLI runs its main setup flow only when invoked directly, and accepts the explicit \`install\` command., Setup requires a Slaunt enrollment function and restricts the issuer to HTTPS, apart from loopback HTTP., The background helper is copied, verified, and registered as a per-user launch agent during the install flow., The package describes the native helper as an enrolled Slaunt service and checks its archive hash and code signature. - **Evidence against:** The package includes an opaque, ad hoc-signed native helper that is installed persistently on macOS after setup. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to slaunt@0.1.18. - Review the evidence and your use of slaunt@0.1.18 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.
