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. On npm installation, the package runs setup that can download and install an unchecked native binary and invoke system package managers. This is an unconsented install-time system modification risk. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-11T21:21:38.054Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-11T21:22:30.239Z - **Download time:** 3794 ms - **Static scan time:** 271 ms - **AI review time:** 48119 ms - **Total time:** 52185 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:** On npm installation, the package runs setup that can download and install an unchecked native binary and invoke system package managers. This is an unconsented install-time system modification risk. - **Trigger:** npm install runs the postinstall lifecycle hook. - **Impact:** A remotely replaced release archive or package-manager action can place or install executable software before the user runs the CLI. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, lib/installer.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-11T21:22:30.239Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Postinstall downloader and system package-manager invocation. - **Rationale:** The source shows risky automatic installer behavior but no evidence of secret theft, stealth, persistence beyond its own binary directory, or reviewer manipulation. This warrants a warning rather than a malicious verdict. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.js, lib/installer.js, dist/sumanmovies.exe, dist/mpv.exe, ~/.sumanmovies/bin - **Network endpoints:** github.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The postinstall hook automatically runs the installer., The installer downloads a latest-release native archive without an integrity check., Installation invokes system package managers, including a sudo apt command., The downloaded archive is extracted into a user home-directory binary location. - **Evidence against:** The JavaScript source contains no credential collection or data exfiltration., The network download targets the package's stated GitHub repository. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to sumanmovies@1.0.1. - Review the evidence and your use of sumanmovies@1.0.1 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.
