Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Running the dvb setup flow can upload local managed Codex authentication JSON to the package's remote control plane. The same command can fetch and install a remote desktop application. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-07T21:20:34.171Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-07T21:23:09.226Z - **Download time:** 1519 ms - **Static scan time:** 12022 ms - **AI review time:** 141513 ms - **Total time:** 155055 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:** Running the dvb setup flow can upload local managed Codex authentication JSON to the package's remote control plane. The same command can fetch and install a remote desktop application. - **Trigger:** A user runs the dvb setup command with a healthy Codex setup or accepts desktop setup. - **Impact:** Codex authentication material can leave the local machine, and remotely selected application code can be installed. - **Evidence paths:** dist/bin/dvb.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-07T21:23:09.226Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Reads authentication JSON and sends it through a remote cache mutation; downloads and mounts a manifest-selected DMG. - **Attack narrative:** The setup path reads managed Codex auth JSON after confirming a Codex configuration is healthy, then passes the full value to a Convex-backed remote mutation. This is credential exfiltration to a package-controlled service, not merely local configuration. Separately, setup downloads a DMG selected by a remote manifest, mounts it, and installs the contained application. Although these actions are user-command triggered and the DMG is hashed against its manifest, the manifest itself controls both the download location and checksum. - **Rationale:** The package has no automatic npm lifecycle hook, but its explicit setup command exports authentication JSON to a remote cache and can install remotely selected code. The concrete credential transfer warrants blocking publication. - **Files touched:** auth.json, /Applications/Boxes.dev.app ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The dvb command setup flow reads managed Codex auth JSON and submits it to a remote cache operation., The remote cache operation sends the complete authJson value through a Convex client mutation., A setup routine downloads a manifest-selected desktop DMG, mounts it, and installs its application bundle. - **Evidence against:** The manifest defines command-line bins but no npm preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., Codex login replacement requires an interactive terminal., The desktop download routine checks a SHA-256 value before mounting the DMG. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @boxes-dev/dvb-runtime@1.0.995. - Avoid installing @boxes-dev/dvb-runtime@1.0.995. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
