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 default YouTrack host is a placeholder, but the source also guides token creation from that base and sends the saved token there during issue lookup. Because the transfer is user-triggered and the base URL is configurable, this warrants a warning rather than a publish block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 79.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-14T14:59:18.021Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-14T15:00:55.487Z - **Download time:** 1281 ms - **Static scan time:** 2338 ms - **AI review time:** 93846 ms - **Total time:** 97466 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 YouTrack setup defaults to a placeholder host and directs the user to create a token through a URL derived from that host. A later YouTrack context lookup sends the saved token to the configured base URL. - **Trigger:** The user confirms YouTrack setup, supplies a token, and later requests YouTrack issue context. - **Impact:** If the user supplies a real YouTrack token while the placeholder base URL remains configured, the token may be disclosed to that endpoint. - **Evidence paths:** dist/plugin.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-14T15:00:55.487Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The plugin reads a token from a local file and sends it as a bearer credential to an issue API URL built from the configured base URL, which defaults to youtrack.example.com. - **Rationale:** The default YouTrack host is a placeholder, but the source also guides token creation from that base and sends the saved token there during issue lookup. Because the transfer is user-triggered and the base URL is configurable, this warrants a warning rather than a publish block. - **Files touched:** dist/plugin.js, youtrack.json, youtrack.token - **Network endpoints:** https://youtrack.example.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 79.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** package.json points to dist/plugin.js as the runtime entry point and lists only build and typecheck scripts., The YouTrack scaffold defaults its base URL to https://youtrack.example.com and stores the token in a local token file., The scaffold guides the user to create a token and paste it into that token file., The runtime reads the token from the configured file and uses the configured base URL., The YouTrack issue request sends the token as a bearer credential to a URL derived from that base URL., The request occurs during YouTrack context lookup; setup file changes require explicit confirmation. - **Evidence against:** The token transfer requires a YouTrack context lookup, and the base URL can be configured., The scaffold requires explicit confirmation before writing setup files. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @brainervirus/workit-opencode@8.12.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @brainervirus/workit-opencode@8.12.1 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.
