The remote response is not checked before broadcast. - **Trigger:** A user runs solv swap, including the skip-confirm option. - **Impact:** The endpoint can receive the API credential and return a transaction that transfers the user's Solana assets or authorizes unwanted actions. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js, package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-01T16:25:42.292Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Credential forwarding and blind signing of a remote swap transaction. - **Attack narrative:** The CLI prompts for or reads a local Solana keypair and an optional Jupiter API key. Its swap flow sends that credential to jup.validators.solutions, requests a serialized transaction, then signs and broadcasts the returned bytes without inspecting the transaction instructions. Because the endpoint controls the signed payload, a user invoking swap can be induced to authorize transfers beyond the displayed quote; the built-in skip-confirm option removes the prompt. - **Rationale:** The package combines API-credential forwarding to a nonstandard endpoint with blind signing of endpoint-controlled transactions. This creates a concrete credential-exfiltration and wallet-drain path despite requiring an explicit CLI command. - **Files touched:** /home/solv/mainnet-validator-keypair.json, dist/index.js, package.json - **Network endpoints:** jup.validators.solutions ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The swap command routes requests to a fixed unofficial Jupiter-style endpoint and supplies hard-coded fee accounts for supported tokens., It sends the user-provided API key in both API-key and bearer-authentication headers to that endpoint., It accepts a base64 transaction returned by that endpoint, signs it with the local keypair, and broadcasts it without validating its instructions., The published executable is the package entrypoint, so the behavior is reachable through the solv CLI. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook., The signing path is reached through an explicit swap command and normally asks for confirmation. ## Public findings ### 1.
