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. The package has no install hook or import-time attack behavior in the reviewed entry points. Credential proxying is tied to user-configured Armor secrets and their declared destinations, while 1Password operations are explicit and use the local CLI. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-03T00:54:43.295Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-03T00:55:37.858Z - **Download time:** 753 ms - **Static scan time:** 1417 ms - **AI review time:** 52390 ms - **Total time:** 54563 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 attack was identified; reviewed network and credential handling support dotenvx's environment-secret and Armor features. - **Trigger:** Credential proxying requires a user-run dotenvx command with an Armor-configured env file; 1Password actions require explicit custody commands. - **Impact:** No unauthorized collection or unrelated account action was found. Runtime proxying handles only configured credentials and destination hosts. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-03T00:55:37.858Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Proxy requests containing configured placeholders are sent to the configured Armor host. The 1Password integration uses the local op CLI to store or retrieve keys. - **Rationale:** The package has no install hook or import-time attack behavior in the reviewed entry points. Credential proxying is tied to user-configured Armor secrets and their declared destinations, while 1Password operations are explicit and use the local CLI. - **Files touched:** OS temporary directory: dxp-\/ca.pem, OS temporary directory: proxy-preload.cjs - **Network endpoints:** Configured HTTPS Armor hostname at /api/proxy ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest has development and release scripts but no install lifecycle hook., The credential proxy requires Armor authentication and is activated only when a configured credential placeholder is present., Proxy credentials are forwarded only when a placeholder appears in an eligible request header for its declared host; redirects are rejected., The 1Password integration stores private keys in the user's 1Password account and is invoked through explicit custody commands., The critical-looking SSH key in help text is an incomplete usage example, not a usable credential. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @dotenvx/dotenvx@2.31.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @dotenvx/dotenvx@2.31.0 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.
