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 swap command conditionally exposes a key described as a Jupiter API key to a Validators Solutions gateway. An explicit upload option also trusts server-supplied shell commands; neither path establishes a covert attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-02T00:13:27.987Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-02T00:15:12.495Z - **Download time:** 1020 ms - **Static scan time:** 1242 ms - **AI review time:** 102245 ms - **Total time:** 104508 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:** The swap command conditionally exposes a key described as a Jupiter API key to a Validators Solutions gateway. An explicit upload option also trusts server-supplied shell commands; neither path establishes a covert attack. - **Trigger:** Running swap with a configured API key, or running scp upload --vs. - **Impact:** Possible disclosure of a service credential to another operator and remote command execution under the invoking user's permissions. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-02T00:15:12.495Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Swap requests include the key in authentication headers at a fixed gateway. The upload option executes commands returned by its remote service. - **Rationale:** Source supports conditional credential exposure and explicit remote command execution, warranting a warning. The scanner's wallet-drain and malicious-intent claims were not established by the inspected behavior. - **Network endpoints:** https://jup.validators.solutions/v1/jup, https://verify.validators.solutions/solv-migrate ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The manifest exposes dist/index.js as the solv CLI; no npm install lifecycle hook is declared., Configuration prompts for a Jupiter API key, while swap requests send authentication headers to the fixed jup.validators.solutions gateway., The swap command forwards the configured API key through its active request path., The explicit scp upload --vs command executes server-returned commands through a shell with ignored output. - **Evidence against:** Remote command execution requires an explicit upload option., Inspected SOL collection transfers funds to the configured authority account; it does not establish wallet theft., Static inspection did not establish covert execution or malicious intent. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @gabrielhicks/solv@5.8.45. - Review the evidence and your use of @gabrielhicks/solv@5.8.45 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.
