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 lifecycle hook, and the flagged 1Password and proxy code serves credential-management features. The proxy requires configured encrypted credentials and Armor authentication, then forwards matching requests to the configured Armor host; no unrelated exfiltration or automatic attack behavior was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-03T00:55:12.715Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-03T00:56:06.463Z - **Download time:** 514 ms - **Static scan time:** 1291 ms - **AI review time:** 51939 ms - **Total time:** 53748 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 identified; reviewed install and import surfaces, the 1Password integration, and the credential proxy flow. - **Trigger:** The proxy runs only during an explicit \`dotenvx run\` when configured encrypted credentials match declared proxy rules; 1Password operations occur through the credential-management feature. - **Impact:** The reviewed flows support the package’s dotenv and credential-management features; no unrelated collection or automatic secret disclosure was identified. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-03T00:56:06.463Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The proxy forwards matching requests and encrypted credential metadata to the configured HTTPS Armor host. 1Password uses the local \`op\` CLI and signed-in account to store or retrieve keys. - **Rationale:** The package has no install lifecycle hook, and the flagged 1Password and proxy code serves credential-management features. The proxy requires configured encrypted credentials and Armor authentication, then forwards matching requests to the configured Armor host; no unrelated exfiltration or automatic attack behavior was found. - **Files touched:** temporary dxp-\* proxy directory under the operating-system temp directory - **Network endpoints:** ${config.hostname}/api/proxy, https://dotenvx.sh (explicit update command) ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest has no install, preinstall, or postinstall hook; its declared scripts are development and release tasks., The 1Password integration checks local CLI/account availability and stores private keys through the signed-in 1Password account as concealed fields., The credential proxy only substitutes encrypted environment values explicitly declared in proxy rules and requires Armor authentication., Proxy requests go to the configured HTTPS Armor host at \`/api/proxy\`, carrying the request and matching encrypted credentials for that feature. - **Evidence against:** The proxy forwards the user command’s request body and eligible headers to Armor, so it handles service data; the source restricts this to configured proxy credentials and the Armor service., The package provides an \`update\` command that runs a shell installer, but that behavior is tied to an explicit command, not installation or import. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @dotenvx/dotenvx@2.32.3. - Review the evidence and your use of @dotenvx/dotenvx@2.32.3 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.

High: Previous Version Dangerous Delta - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Path:** src/lib/custodians/local/onepassword.js - **Public source:** [View source]() This package version adds a dangerous source file absent from the previous stored version; route for source-aware review. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript matchType = previous_version_dangerous_delta matchedPackage = @dotenvx/dotenvx@2.24.1 matchedIdentity = npm:QGRvdGVudngvZG90ZW52eA:2.24.1 similarity = 0.417 summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file ``` ### 10.

Low: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Path:** src/lib/custodians/local/onepassword.js - **Public source:** [View source]() The 1Password integration checks local CLI/account availability and stores private keys through the signed-in 1Password account as concealed fields. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript async function available () { try { const version = await run(['--version'], undefined, 2000) if (!/^2\./.test(version.trim())) return false if (process.env.OP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_TOKEN) return true // Account discovery is local; authenticate only after the user selects 1Password. ``` ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** No - **Dependencies:** 6 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 9 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 6 ### Published dependency entries - @dotenvx/primitives ^3.0.3 (Dependency) - @dotenvx/tooling ^1.0.3 (Dependency) - global-agent ^3.0.0 (Dependency) - node-forge ^1.4.0 (Dependency) - undici ^6.28.1 (Dependency) - yocto-spinner ^1.2.1 (Dependency) ## Package metadata - **Package:** @dotenvx/dotenvx - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 2.32.3 - **License:** BSD-3-Clause - **Version published:** 2026-09-30T17:14:13.672Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-07-02T20:28:55.187Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-11-03T00:57:13.754Z - **Known versions:** 36 - **Latest version:** 2.38.1 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Description:** a secure dotenv–from the creator of \`dotenv\` - **Author:** @motdotla - **Maintainers:** motdotenv, motdotla - **Keywords:** dotenv, env, .env, environment, variables, config, settings, env vars, environment variables, secret-management, secrets - **Artifact files:** 269 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 770,367 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 2 - **Attestations:** Yes - **Provenance:** https://slsa.dev/provenance/v1 ## References - [HTML security report]() - [Repository]() - [Issues]()
