Screenshot content may expose application or test data. - **Trigger:** A user accepts a new or changed screenshot in the review UI. - **Impact:** Sensitive screenshots can be disclosed to the package author's remote service. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-13T02:40:06.197Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote PNG upload with bearer authorization during acceptance. - **Attack narrative:** The package starts a local review server, then its accept route reads the selected generated screenshot and posts it to a configured worker. The default worker is a vendor-controlled public endpoint, and the request includes bearer authorization. The same action writes the corresponding hash into the consumer snapshot file, so ordinary acceptance both persists the change and exports the screenshot. - **Rationale:** This is concrete screenshot data exfiltration to a built-in third-party endpoint, not merely a local screenshot-review tool. The absence of an install hook reduces propagation risk but does not remove the harmful remote-upload behavior. - **Files touched:** node\_modules/.cache/screentest/actual, tests/snapshot.json - **Network endpoints:** https://screentests.x-cevek.workers.dev ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The review server uploads accepted local screenshot bytes to a vendor-controlled Cloudflare Worker., The upload sends an authorization bearer token and uses a built-in remote worker URL unless overridden., Accepting a screenshot also changes the consumer project's snapshot file, coupling the remote upload to a normal review action. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The network upload occurs through the review UI after screenshot acceptance, not on package installation., Child-process use is limited to explicit CLI review and Docker/browser commands. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @cevek/screentest@0.3.6. - Avoid installing @cevek/screentest@0.3.6. 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.
