Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The flagged primitives are consistent with packaging a self-hosted LLM application. Source inspection found no concrete malicious behavior despite the automatic dependency setup. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-29T23:21:09.503Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-29T23:23:22.913Z - **Download time:** 2015 ms - **Static scan time:** 12189 ms - **AI review time:** 119205 ms - **Total time:** 133410 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:** No confirmed malicious attack surface was established. The package has a package-aligned install setup and user-invoked search integrations. - **Trigger:** Installation runs dependency setup; a configured user search request can call its selected provider. - **Impact:** No unsolicited data collection, foreign configuration mutation, or payload execution was found. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, bin/totem-llm.js, lib/setup.js, lib/launcher.js, server/utils/agents/aibitat/plugins/web-browsing.js, server/package.json, collector/package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-29T23:23:22.913Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Bundled dependency setup and configured web search. - **Rationale:** The flagged primitives are consistent with packaging a self-hosted LLM application. Source inspection found no concrete malicious behavior despite the automatic dependency setup. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The install hook automatically installs bundled server and collector dependencies., The web-search feature sends configured provider keys only when that feature is invoked. - **Evidence against:** The install hook targets bundled package subdirectories, not consumer project or agent configuration., No self-dependency, obfuscated payload, secret harvesting, or unsolicited exfiltration was found., Search requests are feature-specific and use configured search-provider credentials. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to totem-llm@0.16.2. - Review the evidence and your use of totem-llm@0.16.2 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.
