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. Installing the package automatically downloads and unpacks a current remote binary into the user's home directory. It also attempts system-level MPV installation; the resulting binary runs when the CLI is invoked. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-11T19:44:58.444Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-11T19:45:46.653Z - **Download time:** 1009 ms - **Static scan time:** 121 ms - **AI review time:** 47079 ms - **Total time:** 48209 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:** Installing the package automatically downloads and unpacks a current remote binary into the user's home directory. It also attempts system-level MPV installation; the resulting binary runs when the CLI is invoked. - **Trigger:** npm installation triggers postinstall; running sumanmovies launches the staged binary. - **Impact:** A compromised or replaced release archive can cause execution of an attacker-controlled binary when the CLI is run; installation may also alter system packages. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, lib/installer.js, bin/sumanmovies.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-11T19:45:46.653Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic unsigned remote binary staging and package-manager execution. - **Rationale:** The package performs automatic unverified remote binary staging and system package-manager commands during installation. Its streaming-player purpose explains the functionality, but does not make those install-time actions safe. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.js, lib/installer.js, bin/sumanmovies.js, ~/.sumanmovies/bin/temp.zip, ~/.sumanmovies/bin/sumanmovies - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/mesamirh/MovieBox-Tui/releases/latest/download/${archiveName} ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The postinstall hook automatically runs the installer., The installer downloads a latest-release archive without a checksum or signature check., Postinstall attempts to install MPV through system package managers, including sudo on Linux., The launcher executes the downloaded or copied SumanMovies binary with the user's environment. - **Evidence against:** The code does not harvest credentials, read arbitrary user files, or send environment data over the network., The installer behavior is aligned with supplying the advertised streaming CLI and MPV dependency., No self-dependency, obfuscation, persistence outside its own storage directory, or AI-agent control-surface mutation was found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to sumanmovies@1.0.0. - Review the evidence and your use of sumanmovies@1.0.0 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.
