Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The CLI can sign and submit token-swap transactions from a local Solana keypair through a package-controlled gateway. Its swap construction includes fixed fee accounts, and its harvest command transfers rewards to a configured address. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-16T16:26:20.845Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-16T16:27:06.874Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 1209 ms - **AI review time:** 44309 ms - **Total time:** 46029 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 CLI can sign and submit token-swap transactions from a local Solana keypair through a package-controlled gateway. Its swap construction includes fixed fee accounts, and its harvest command transfers rewards to a configured address. - **Trigger:** Running the solv swap or harvest CLI command. - **Impact:** A user can authorize transactions that divert token output or validator rewards to package-selected or configured addresses. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-16T16:27:06.874Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Local keypair signing with fixed recipient fee accounts and a fixed swap gateway. - **Attack narrative:** When a user invokes swap, the CLI obtains a transaction from a fixed gateway, reads a local keypair, signs the returned transaction, and broadcasts it. The request construction uses hard-coded fee accounts for token outputs. Separately, the harvest command converts rewards and transfers them to a stored or prompted harvest address. These asset-moving paths are not installation-time behavior, but they create a concrete wallet-drain risk for CLI users. - **Rationale:** The package contains concrete cryptocurrency transaction signing and transfer logic routed through a fixed gateway with hard-coded fee accounts. Although execution is command-triggered rather than install-triggered, this is a direct asset-diversion capability inconsistent with a safe package. - **Files touched:** /home/solv/mainnet-validator-keypair.json, /home/solv/mainnet-authority-keypair.json, /home/solv/solv.config.json - **Network endpoints:** jup.validators.solutions, api.mainnet-beta.solana.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The executable CLI implements a token swap that signs and broadcasts a transaction using a local keypair., Swap requests are sent to a fixed nonstandard Jupiter gateway and attach hard-coded fee accounts for supported tokens., The harvest command transfers converted rewards to a configured address, which can be supplied interactively and persisted., The package has no installation lifecycle hook; the harmful behavior is reachable when its CLI commands run. - **Evidence against:** The manifest contains no preinstall, install, or postinstall script., The swap flow normally asks the user to confirm before signing, unless its skip-confirm option is used. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @gabrielhicks/solv@5.8.42. - Avoid installing @gabrielhicks/solv@5.8.42. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
