## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 18 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Credential Exfiltration
- **Selected version:** 0.7.15
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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.

The explicit remote setup forwards saved third-party MCP credential fields to the Box service without a distinct consent gate for that transfer. This warrants a warning for conditional credential exposure; the inspected source does not establish malicious use or support a publish block.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-20T18:22:21.245Z

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:** Remote-box setup sends saved MCP OAuth credential fields to the Box service. This creates a conditional credential-exposure risk, but the inspected source does not establish malicious use.

- **Trigger:** A user invokes remote-box creation or selects the Codex agent path.

- **Impact:** Credential fields may be exposed to the configured Box service during setup; the source does not establish how the service uses them.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/cbox.mjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-20T18:23:17.116Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The CLI reads local MCP OAuth credentials, removes refreshToken fields, and includes the remaining values in the remote-box creation request.

- **Rationale:** The explicit remote setup forwards saved third-party MCP credential fields to the Box service without a distinct consent gate for that transfer. This warrants a warning for conditional credential exposure; the inspected source does not establish malicious use or support a publish block.

- **Files touched:** dist/cbox.mjs, package.json

- **Network endpoints:** https://box.abuaboud.me

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 84.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The package has no install hook; its prepublishOnly script builds the release., The CLI reads saved MCP OAuth credentials and removes only each refreshToken field before forwarding the remaining fields., Remote-box creation includes mcpOAuth and Claude agent configuration in a POST request to the configured service., The service defaults to box.abuaboud.me, and the remote transfer is triggered by the explicit remote-box or Codex CLI path.

- **Evidence against:** Remote-box creation is an explicit CLI action, and the source announces that MCP servers and agent plugins will be copied., The code strips refresh tokens, and the inspected source does not establish credential misuse or an account compromise.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @abuaboud/box@0.7.15.

- Review the evidence and your use of @abuaboud/box@0.7.15 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.
