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 attack was identified. A distributed binary notices archive could not be source-inspected, leaving an opaque payload carrier unresolved. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 72.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-29T16:29:34.876Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-29T16:32:21.559Z - **Download time:** 3536 ms - **Static scan time:** 9674 ms - **AI review time:** 153472 ms - **Total time:** 166683 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 attack was identified. A distributed binary notices archive could not be source-inspected, leaving an opaque payload carrier unresolved. - **Trigger:** A user invokes package functionality that consumes the distributed boxes-mosh assets. - **Impact:** No malicious impact was confirmed, but the archive prevents a decisive source-only clean finding. - **Evidence paths:** dist/boxes-mosh/linux-arm64/notices.tar.gz - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-29T16:32:21.559Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The package ships an opaque archive alongside executable runtime assets; the inspected daemon also uses a configured control-plane URL for token refresh. - **Rationale:** A clean verdict cannot be grounded because the required binary archive is not inspectable as UTF-8 source. The inspected text does not establish malicious behavior. - **Files touched:** dist/boxes-mosh/linux-arm64/notices.tar.gz ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 72.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package distributes a boxes-mosh directory, while its required notices archive is binary and could not be statically inspected as UTF-8 source., The daemon refreshes a session token to a control-plane URL obtained from environment configuration., The only inspected process launch queries process status with fixed ps arguments. - **Evidence against:** No npm install lifecycle hook was present in the inspected package metadata., No concrete malicious execution or exfiltration path was established in the inspected daemon excerpts. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @boxes-dev/dvb-runtime@1.0.1043. - Review the evidence and your use of @boxes-dev/dvb-runtime@1.0.1043 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.
