Is github-proxy safe to install?

Yes — github-proxy is safe to install, with something worth knowing. Sonnet 5 read every file github-proxy ships from volcengine/OpenViking on 6 September 2026 and found nothing that acts against the person installing it; the static scan of its 26 rules grades it A.

What the reviewer found

Routes git clone / raw file downloads through third-party unofficial proxy services (githubproxy.cc, ghfast.top) for China GFW acceleration; a real network call to an unofficial mirror that could MITM content, but it's a known legitimate workaround pattern, not malware -- dual-use, flagged low.

What the static scan said

The scan flagged 1thing. The reviewer kept 1 and dismissed 0 as false.

How this review was made

Sonnet 5 read the files above on 6 September 2026 and answered three questions: is it dangerous to whoever installs it, is each scanner finding real, and what should the installer know. The verdict is bound to the file's hash; when the file changes, it is scanned afresh and reviewed again. A script that changes while the definition does not is not re-reviewed — that is a known gap. How the scan and the review work.
