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. No confirmed attack surface was identified. The package has a postinstall hook, but its network telemetry path is explicitly environment-gated. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-29T03:27:08.520Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-29T03:28:05.264Z - **Download time:** 2780 ms - **Static scan time:** 548 ms - **AI review time:** 53415 ms - **Total time:** 56744 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 attack surface was identified. The package has a postinstall hook, but its network telemetry path is explicitly environment-gated. - **Trigger:** Installing the package runs postinstall; telemetry additionally requires the explicit telemetry environment flag. - **Impact:** No unconsented credential export, remote payload retrieval, broad agent-control mutation, or destructive action outside package-managed binaries was confirmed. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-29T03:28:05.264Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The launcher loads the bundled runtime locally. The optional telemetry helper exits when its gate is absent. - **Rationale:** Static inspection found a gated telemetry postinstall path and local runtime launching, but no concrete malicious behavior. The automatic hook does not establish a blockable attack chain. - **Network endpoints:** https://beta-api.unbrowse.ai/v1/telemetry/install ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The declared lifecycle hook runs the package postinstall script., The launcher imports the packaged runtime from its resolved local path., The SDK helper only compares the package root with its own managed skill directory., The update helper launches the local CLI with a hint-only upgrade argument., Install telemetry is spawned only when the explicit telemetry environment flag equals one., The telemetry helper exits immediately unless that same explicit flag is set. - **Evidence against:** The postinstall script can persist explicitly supplied attribution values and prune non-host vendored binaries, but no credential export, foreign control-surface write, or remote payload download was found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to unbrowse@11.7.1. - Review the evidence and your use of unbrowse@11.7.1 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.
