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. Running granular login or granular init sends an API key to a hard-coded workers.dev production gateway. The CLI then stores the key in the consumer project's .env.local. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-13T11:19:24.429Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-13T11:20:56.518Z - **Download time:** 770 ms - **Static scan time:** 12039 ms - **AI review time:** 79279 ms - **Total time:** 92089 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

The CLI then stores the key in the consumer project's .env.local. - **Trigger:** A user runs granular login or granular init and supplies or already has GRANULAR\_API\_KEY. - **Impact:** The supplied API credential can be disclosed to the gateway operator and retained in the project. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-13T11:20:56.518Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Bearer credential forwarding to a fixed non-package-aligned gateway. - **Attack narrative:** The CLI defaults to a workers.dev gateway while its authentication site uses app.granular.software. Login and init validate a supplied Granular API key by sending it as a Bearer token to that gateway, then save it to .env.local. Init additionally writes AI-agent skill and configuration files into the current project. The lack of an install hook limits activation to explicit CLI use, but the default credential destination is an unverified external gateway. - **Rationale:** The default endpoint and Bearer authorization path establish concrete credential forwarding to a non-package-aligned host. This is sufficient for a publish block despite requiring an explicit CLI action. - **Files touched:** dist/cli/index.js, .env.local, .env, .granularrc, .agents/openai.yaml, .agents/skills/, .cursor/rules/, .claude/skills/, CLAUDE.md - **Network endpoints:** cf-api-gateway.arthur6084.workers.dev, app.granular.software ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The default production API is a fixed workers.dev host unrelated to the package's Granular domain., The CLI attaches the supplied API key as a Bearer credential to requests to that endpoint., The login command validates the supplied key against the configured endpoint before saving it locally., The explicit init command also creates files for Codex, Cursor, and Claude in the consumer project. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no npm install, preinstall, or postinstall hook., Credential transmission is reached through user-run login or init commands, not package installation. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @granular-software/sdk@0.4.68. - Avoid installing @granular-software/sdk@0.4.68. 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.
