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. No confirmed active attack surface was established. A binary archive in the published boxes-mosh directory could not be source-inspected, preventing a clean verdict. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 62.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-27T18:57:05.335Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-27T19:00:12.546Z - **Download time:** 1523 ms - **Static scan time:** 6909 ms - **AI review time:** 178779 ms - **Total time:** 187211 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:** No confirmed active attack surface was established. A binary archive in the published boxes-mosh directory could not be source-inspected, preventing a clean verdict. - **Trigger:** A consumer installs the package and later invokes its command-line tools. - **Impact:** No credential theft, destructive behavior, or unconsented control-surface mutation was confirmed, but opaque packaged content remains unresolved. - **Evidence paths:** dist/boxes-mosh/linux-arm64/notices.tar.gz - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-27T19:00:12.546Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The daemon checks its own npm package version; the binary archive remains unverified. - **Rationale:** The inspectable daemon behavior is package-aligned, but the required binary archive cannot support the mandatory clean source coverage. No concrete malicious behavior was established. - **Files touched:** dist/boxes-mosh/linux-arm64/notices.tar.gz - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org/@boxes-dev%2Fdvb-runtime/latest ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 62.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** Package metadata publishes the daemon entrypoints and the boxes-mosh directory., The daemon fetches package-version metadata from the package's npm registry endpoint., The required notices archive is binary and could not be source-inspected for clean verification. - **Evidence against:** No install lifecycle hook is declared in package metadata., No confirmed execution path from the daemon to the binary archive was found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @boxes-dev/dvb-runtime@1.0.1037. - Review the evidence and your use of @boxes-dev/dvb-runtime@1.0.1037 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.
