- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@avi892nash/aegis-grid-runner@0.5.2/grid.mjs>)

A single source file combines environment access, network access, and code or shell execution; review context before blocking.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L5792: }
L5793: var RUNNER_PORT_BASE = Math.max(1, Number(process.env.GRID_RUNNER_PORT ?? 7719));
L5794: var RUNNER_PORT_SCAN = 20;
...
L5800: var masterHdrs = () => ({ "content-type": "application/json", ...masterToken ? { "x-grid-token": masterToken } : {} });
L5801: var api = (p, init = {}) => fetch(`${masterUrl}${p}`, { ...init, headers: { ...masterHdrs(), ...init.headers ?? {} } });
L5802: var sh = (cmd2, args) => {
L5803: try {
L5804: return execFileSync(cmd2, args, { encoding: "utf8", stdio: ["ignore", "pipe", "ignore"] });
L5805: } catch {
```

### 8. Critical: Command Output Exfiltration
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** grid.mjs
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@avi892nash/aegis-grid-runner@0.5.2/grid.mjs>)

Source executes local commands and sends command output to an external endpoint.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L6: // remote/server.mjs
L7: import { createServer } from "node:http";
L8: import { createServer as createHttpsServer } from "node:https";
...
L24: import { fileURLToPath, pathToFileURL } from "node:url";
L25: import { spawn } from "node:child_process";
L26: 
...
L244: tCount += count;
L245: shardStats.push({ index: meta.index, jobId: meta.jobId, state: meta.state, exitCode: meta.exitCode, pass, fail, skip, hasReport: Boolean(hasReport), attempt: attemptCount(meta), re...
L246: }
...
L382: var HERE = dirname2(fileURLToPath(import.meta.url));
L383: var PORT = Number(process.env.GRID_PORT ?? 7717);
L384: var DATA = resolve2(process.env.GRID_DATA ?? ".grid");
```

### 9. Critical: Trigger Reachable Dangerous Capability
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** grid.mjs
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@avi892nash/aegis-grid-runner@0.5.2/grid.mjs>)

A package entrypoint or install-time lifecycle script reaches a source file with blocking dangerous behavior.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
Trigger-reachable chain: manifest.bin -> bin.mjs -> grid.mjs
L6: // remote/server.mjs
L7: import { createServer } from "node:http";
L8: import { createServer as createHttpsServer } from "node:https";
...
L24: import { fileURLToPath, pathToFileURL } from "node:url";
L25: import { spawn } from "node:child_process";
L26: 
...
L244: tCount += count;
L245: shardStats.push({ index: meta.index, jobId: meta.jobId, state: meta.state, exitCode: meta.exitCode, pass, fail, skip, hasReport: Boolean(hasReport), attempt: attemptCount(meta), re...
L246: }
...
L382: var HERE = dirname2(fileURLToPath(import.meta.url));
L383: var PORT = Number(process.env.GRID_PORT ?? 7717);
L384: var DATA = resolve2(process.env.GRID_DATA ?? ".grid");
```

### 10. Low: High Entropy Strings
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 55.0%

Package source contains high-entropy string patterns.

### 11. Low: Url Strings
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 65.0%

Package source contains URL literals.

### 12. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review
- **Category:** Artifact Inventory
- **Confidence:** 85.0%

Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean.

### 13. Low: No License
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 80.0%

Package manifest does not declare a clear license.

### 14. Critical: Previous Version Dangerous Delta
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 93.0%
- **Path:** grid.mjs
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@avi892nash/aegis-grid-runner@0.5.2/grid.mjs>)

This package version adds a dangerous source file absent from the previous stored version; route for source-aware review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
matchType = previous_version_dangerous_delta
matchedPackage = @avi892nash/aegis-grid-runner@0.2.0
matchedIdentity = npm:[redacted]:0.2.0
similarity = 0.500
summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file
