Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. No confirmed malicious attack surface was established. User-invoked CLI telemetry can send command and runtime context to Expo and can be disabled with EXPO\_NO\_TELEMETRY. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-04T16:37:28.336Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-04T16:39:15.740Z - **Download time:** 1016 ms - **Static scan time:** 7608 ms - **AI review time:** 98780 ms - **Total time:** 107404 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 malicious attack surface was established. User-invoked CLI telemetry can send command and runtime context to Expo and can be disabled with EXPO\_NO\_TELEMETRY. - **Trigger:** Running an Expo CLI command with telemetry enabled. - **Impact:** Sends telemetry context, including detected agent or sandbox identifiers when available; no credential exfiltration was found. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-04T16:39:15.740Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Opt-out telemetry collection and HTTPS event submission. - **Rationale:** The static findings are normal, bounded Expo CLI behavior: telemetry, a guarded Watchman recovery command, Android port forwarding, and OAuth login. There are no install hooks, covert payloads, credential theft paths, or AI-agent control-surface writes. - **Network endpoints:** https://cdp.expo.dev/v1/batch ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes a CLI and lists only build, test, lint, and module scripts; it has no install lifecycle hook., Each invoked CLI command records telemetry unless EXPO\_NO\_TELEMETRY is set., Telemetry adds detected coding-agent and sandbox context to events., The macOS error handler runs fixed Watchman recovery commands only after an EMFILE error., ADB reverse is restricted to authorized devices and caller-supplied ports., Browser SSO validates the OAuth state before accepting a code. - **Evidence against:** No preinstall, install, postinstall, or runtime self-dependency is present., No credential harvesting, arbitrary shell execution, hidden payload, or AI-agent configuration write was found., Network activity is an opt-out Expo telemetry endpoint and normal Expo API authentication flow. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @depup/expo\_\_cli@57.0.22-depup.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @depup/expo\_\_cli@57.0.22-depup.0 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. Low: Scripts Present - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 100.0% Package declares npm scripts. ### 2. Medium: Dynamic Require - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 75.0% - **Path:** internal/unstable-expo-updates-exports.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Package source references dynamic require/import behavior. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript L2: // NOTE for Expo Maintainers: Do not add to this file. We want to remove this L3: module.exports = require('../build/src/expoUpdatesExports'); ``` ### 3. Medium: Network - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 75.0% Package source references network APIs. ### 4. Medium: Environment Vars - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 75.0% Package source references environment variables. ### 5. Low: Filesystem - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 70.0% Package source references filesystem APIs. ### 6. High: Sandbox Evasion Gated Capability - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Path:** build/src/utils/errors.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Source gates dangerous network, credential, or execution behavior behind CI, host, platform, time, or geo fingerprint checks. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript L41: } L42: function _child_process() { L43: const data = require("child_process"); ... L107: * L108: * @see https://github.com/expo/expo/issues/29083 L109: * @see https://github.com/facebook/metro/issues/834 ... L112: // Only enable special logging when running on macOS and are running into the `EMFILE` error L113: if ('code' in error && error.code === 'EMFILE' && process.platform === 'darwin') { L114: try { ``` ### 7. High: Copied Package Dependency Bridge - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 83.0% - **Path:** build/src/start/platforms/android/adbReverse.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Package metadata claims a different repository identity while copied source loads a runtime dependency bridge. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript package = @depup/expo__cli; repositoryIdentity = expo; dependency = debug L66: } L67: const debug = require('debug')('expo:start:platforms:android:adbReverse'); L68: let removeExitHook = null; ``` ### 8. Low: High Entropy Strings - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 55.0% Package source contains high-entropy string patterns. ### 9. Low: Url Strings - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 65.0% Package source contains URL literals. ### 10. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review - **Category:** Artifact Inventory - **Confidence:** 100.0% Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean. ### 11. High: Semantic Analysis Limited - **Category:** Scanner Coverage - **Confidence:** 100.0% - **Path:** build/src/api/user/expoSsoLauncher.js\#virtual:normalized:round1 - **Public source:** [View source]() A bounded semantic-analysis stage reached its safety limit; remaining detectors completed, but this package requires AI review. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```text stage = ast_semantic_analysis; reason = ast_parse_error; limitedFiles = 8 ``` ### 12. Low: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() The manifest exposes a CLI and lists only build, test, lint, and module scripts; it has no install lifecycle hook.
