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. The JavaScript install hook performs a platform-dependent native binary validation and shim replacement, while the CLI delegates runtime work to that binary. Available analyses leave the native code materially unresolved, so the source does not support a clean or malicious conclusion. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 89.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-19T10:28:04.587Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-19T10:29:34.009Z - **Download time:** 42823 ms - **Static scan time:** 156 ms - **AI review time:** 46443 ms - **Total time:** 89422 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 install hook executes a shipped native binary during installation, and normal CLI use also delegates to a native binary. Its behavior could not be resolved from the available offline analyses, so no specific attack is confirmed. - **Trigger:** Installing with npm on a supported non-Windows platform, or invoking the tm command. - **Impact:** The unresolved binary behavior prevents determining whether installation or CLI use has harmful effects. - **Evidence paths:** .lpm-inspection-6C2U0Q/0-af0009d09f56.txt, .lpm-inspection-6C2U0Q/1-1339c22aa110.txt, .lpm-inspection-6C2U0Q/2-7cb20fd87d19.txt, .lpm-inspection-6C2U0Q/3-08f91e276165.txt, .lpm-inspection-6C2U0Q/4-568aa750afb6.txt, .lpm-inspection-6C2U0Q/5-3fa7fd17fe74.txt - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-19T10:29:34.009Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The installer runs the staged binary with --version before replacing bin/tm.js; the shim later launches the platform binary with the supplied arguments. - **Rationale:** The JavaScript install hook performs a platform-dependent native binary validation and shim replacement, while the CLI delegates runtime work to that binary. Available analyses leave the native code materially unresolved, so the source does not support a clean or malicious conclusion. - **Files touched:** install.js, bin/tm.js, native/linux-arm64/tm, native/linux-x64/tm, native/darwin-arm64/tm, native/darwin-x64/tm, native/win32-arm64/tm.exe, native/win32-x64/tm.exe ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** The package runs install.js from its postinstall hook., On npm outside Windows, the hook stages a platform binary, runs it with --version, then replaces the CLI shim with it., The CLI shim also launches the matching platform binary with the caller's arguments., Offline analyses leave the shipped binaries unresolved; one Windows x64 analysis also reports uninspected call targets. - **Evidence against:** The install hook only proceeds for npm on non-Windows systems with a matching binary, and removes the staged file if validation fails. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to teammesh@0.18.0. - Review the evidence and your use of teammesh@0.18.0 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.
