Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The unrestricted credential forwarding path is a real dangerous capability under the credential-forwarding policy. No evidence supports blocking as malware or install-hook abuse. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-20T21:17:03.562Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-20T21:19:00.262Z - **Download time:** 756 ms - **Static scan time:** 3252 ms - **AI review time:** 112691 ms - **Total time:** 116700 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:** A user-supplied FlyDocs API key can be forwarded to an arbitrary URL selected through FLYDOCS\_RELAY\_URL. This is a conditional credential-exposure capability, not confirmed covert theft. - **Trigger:** A user runs a CLI command that validates a key or posts usage while FLYDOCS\_RELAY\_URL is set. - **Impact:** An operator-controlled relay URL can receive the API key and usage request data. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-20T21:19:00.262Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI derives its relay base URL from the environment and sends the stored or prompted API key in an Authorization header without an allowlist. - **Rationale:** The unrestricted credential forwarding path is a real dangerous capability under the credential-forwarding policy. No evidence supports blocking as malware or install-hook abuse. - **Files touched:** dist/cli.js - **Network endpoints:** https://app.flydocs.ai/api/relay ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The CLI accepts an API key interactively and validates it., The relay base URL is controlled by FLYDOCS\_RELAY\_URL without destination allowlisting, and the API key is sent as a Bearer token to that URL., Usage records are posted to the same configurable relay URL with the API-key authorization header. - **Evidence against:** The manifest has no npm preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The Claude hook is deployed only by the explicit init command; it is not an install-time payload. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @flydocs/cli@1.3.23. - Review the evidence and your use of @flydocs/cli@1.3.23 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.
