## 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:** add-module.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@expo/cli@57.0.3/add-module.js>)

Package source references dynamic require/import behavior.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L1: const path = require('node:path');
L2: const { pathToFileURL } = require('node:url');
```

### 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](<https://unpkg.com/@expo/cli@57.0.3/build/src/utils/errors.js>)

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](<https://unpkg.com/@expo/cli@57.0.3/build/src/start/platforms/android/adbReverse.js>)

Package metadata claims a different repository identity while copied source loads a runtime dependency bridge.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
package = @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.
