Runtime network use implements the self-hosted LLM and opt-in web-search features; installation performs package-local dependency setup. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-10T10:29:27.193Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-10T10:31:01.349Z - **Download time:** 27151 ms - **Static scan time:** 9901 ms - **AI review time:** 57103 ms - **Total time:** 94156 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** No confirmed malicious attack surface. Runtime network use implements the self-hosted LLM and opt-in web-search features; installation performs package-local dependency setup. - **Trigger:** npm install for dependency setup; explicit totem-llm start and feature use for runtime services. - **Impact:** No concrete unconsented file harvesting, foreign control-surface mutation, or malicious execution established. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, bin/totem-llm.js, lib/setup.js, lib/config.js, server/.env, server/utils/agents/aibitat/providers/openrouter.js, server/utils/agents/aibitat/plugins/web-browsing.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-10T10:31:01.349Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** package-local setup plus user-invoked LLM/search provider requests - **Rationale:** The flagged primitives are aligned with a self-hosted LLM application's installation and explicitly invoked runtime behavior. A bundled configured provider credential is a security hygiene concern, but source inspection found no malicious chain or unconsented control-surface mutation. - **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.mjs, bin/totem-llm.js, lib/setup.js, lib/launcher.js, server/.env - **Network endpoints:** https://openrouter.ai/api/v1, https://serpapi.com/search.json, https://html.duckduckgo.com/html ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** server/.env contains a configured OpenRouter credential and provider default., scripts/postinstall.mjs runs nested production dependency installation. - **Evidence against:** postinstall only installs server/collector dependencies and generates Prisma; it does not harvest files or alter agent controls., bin/totem-llm.js starts setup/launch only after an explicit CLI invocation., lib/setup.js writes only Totem's own storage/configuration directory., Web-search requests use user-configured provider keys when the feature is invoked., No foreign AI-agent config writes, stealth persistence, payload fetch/execute chain, or credential exfiltration was found. ## Public findings ### 1.
