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 postinstall hook downloads and extracts a native executable from the project’s latest GitHub release without an integrity check. This leaves the installed executable dependent on the remote release contents. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-07T23:35:26.047Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-07T23:36:01.310Z - **Download time:** 3277 ms - **Static scan time:** 328 ms - **AI review time:** 31657 ms - **Total time:** 35263 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:** The postinstall hook downloads and extracts a native executable from the project’s latest GitHub release without an integrity check. This leaves the installed executable dependent on the remote release contents. - **Trigger:** Package installation invokes the postinstall script. - **Impact:** A changed or compromised release could supply an executable that runs when the user launches the CLI. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, lib/installer.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-07T23:36:01.310Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The script calls setupAll(), which downloads the project release archive and extracts its executable into user storage. - **Rationale:** Source inspection found an automatic postinstall download and extraction of an unverified native executable from the project’s latest release. The behavior is package-aligned, but the unverified payload warrants a warning rather than a block. - **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, lib/installer.js - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/SumanCH8514/SumanMovies-Tui/releases/latest/download/${archiveName} ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package runs a postinstall script that calls setupAll()., The installer downloads the latest release archive from the project’s GitHub repository and extracts it during setup., Setup prepares a downloaded executable in the user’s SumanMovies storage directory without checking its integrity. - **Evidence against:** The download endpoint belongs to the SumanMovies project, and setup is consistent with installing the package’s advertised terminal application and prerequisites. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to sumanmovies@1.0.5. - Review the evidence and your use of sumanmovies@1.0.5 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.
