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 daemon can forward a stored refresh token to a control-plane host selected through environment variables. No automatic install-time trigger was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-27T05:17:04.414Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-27T05:19:34.634Z - **Download time:** 1015 ms - **Static scan time:** 6922 ms - **AI review time:** 142283 ms - **Total time:** 150220 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:** The daemon can forward a stored refresh token to a control-plane host selected through environment variables. No automatic install-time trigger was found. - **Trigger:** A user runs the dvbd CLI and its saved token requires refresh. - **Impact:** An operator-configured endpoint could receive the existing control-plane refresh token. - **Evidence paths:** dist/bin/dvbd.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-27T05:19:34.634Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The daemon reads a refresh token from its secret store, builds an auth refresh URL from an unrestricted environment-configured base URL, and sends the token in a POST body. - **Rationale:** The active daemon path can send a stored session credential to an unrestricted operator-configured endpoint. The lack of an install hook and the user-invoked CLI trigger make this a warning rather than a block. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The daemon loads a saved control-plane token and refresh token from its secret store., The control-plane base URL is taken without an allowlist from DEVBOX\_CONTROL\_PLANE\_URL or CONVEX\_SITE\_URL., The refresh token is POSTed in JSON to the URL derived from that configurable base URL., The package declares dvbd as a user-invoked CLI binary. - **Evidence against:** The inspected metadata has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The package-version request targets this package's npm registry record. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @boxes-dev/dvb-runtime@1.0.1034. - Review the evidence and your use of @boxes-dev/dvb-runtime@1.0.1034 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.
