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. Automatic installation can weaken Linux kernel protections for unprivileged user namespaces when run as root. This creates a system security configuration change; no confirmed attacker-controlled payload or data theft was identified. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 85.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-07T23:51:56.025Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-07T23:52:32.674Z - **Download time:** 761 ms - **Static scan time:** 739 ms - **AI review time:** 35148 ms - **Total time:** 36649 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:** Automatic installation can weaken Linux kernel protections for unprivileged user namespaces when run as root. This creates a system security configuration change; no confirmed attacker-controlled payload or data theft was identified. - **Trigger:** Installing the package on Linux while running the npm lifecycle as root. - **Impact:** This lowers a host security restriction and may increase the impact of later sandbox or namespace abuse. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, src/postinstall.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-07T23:52:32.674Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The postinstall writes a sysctl configuration enabling unprivileged user namespaces and, when available, turns off AppArmor's restriction for them, then runs sysctl --system. - **Rationale:** The source confirms an automatic, root-only Linux postinstall change that disables an AppArmor namespace restriction where present. This is a dangerous capability with unclear user consent, but the inspected evidence does not establish malicious intent or a publish-blocking attack chain. - **Files touched:** /etc/sysctl.d/99-yaver-runner-sandbox.conf ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 85.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package runs src/postinstall.js automatically during installation., On Linux when running as root, postinstall writes kernel namespace settings and disables AppArmor's unprivileged user namespace restriction when that control exists, then applies the settings., The setting change is part of the normal postinstall path and has no opt-in guard at its call site. - **Evidence against:** The postinstall behavior is tied to Linux runner sandbox setup and is skipped outside Linux or when the process is not root., The inspected source did not establish credential theft, unrelated data exfiltration, or a foreign AI-agent configuration takeover. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to yaver-cli@1.99.477. - Review the evidence and your use of yaver-cli@1.99.477 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.
