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 package includes an unexplained automatic WebTransport attempt to example.com:23333, which exposes the caller’s network address. The separate IP and geolocation lookups support DHT peer selection, so the source does not establish malicious credential theft or exfiltration. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 82.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-31T01:26:43.560Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-31T01:27:44.687Z - **Download time:** 4102 ms - **Static scan time:** 4901 ms - **AI review time:** 52124 ms - **Total time:** 61127 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 fixed external WebTransport probe runs when its module is loaded; Node peer initialization also performs public-IP and geolocation lookups. - **Trigger:** The WebTransport module is dynamically imported for a Node peer connection when WebTransport is unavailable globally; constructing the browser Node client also starts IP lookup during initialization. - **Impact:** The fixed-host probe exposes the connecting network address to an endpoint unrelated to the package’s named peer service. The IP and location lookups also disclose the public IP for DHT provider selection; no credential collection or theft was identified. - **Evidence paths:** exports/browser/index.browser-CFfJpgKV.js, exports/browser/client-C\_pBoi1g-\_pfKzCvX.js, exports/browser/node-browser-BNe-en1l.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T01:27:44.687Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The module attempts a WebTransport connection to example.com:23333. Separately, initialization fetches the public IP from icanhazip.com and requests coordinates from whereis.leofcoin.org. - **Rationale:** The package includes an unexplained automatic WebTransport attempt to example.com:23333, which exposes the caller’s network address. The separate IP and geolocation lookups support DHT peer selection, so the source does not establish malicious credential theft or exfiltration. - **Files touched:** exports/browser/index.browser-CFfJpgKV.js, exports/browser/client-C\_pBoi1g-\_pfKzCvX.js, exports/browser/node-browser-BNe-en1l.js - **Network endpoints:** https://example.com:23333/test, https://icanhazip.com/, https://whereis.leofcoin.org/?ip=${address} ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 82.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package exposes a browser chain entry point that can load the new WebTransport module., Loading that module attempts a WebTransport connection to https://example.com:23333/test and suppresses connection errors., A Node peer initialization calls getAddress(), which fetches the public IP from icanhazip.com., The fetched IP is sent to whereis.leofcoin.org for coordinates; the code also uses coordinates to rank DHT providers. - **Evidence against:** WebTransport is part of the package’s peer networking code, and the fixed-host probe occurs when that transport module is loaded., The IP and coordinate lookups are used by DHT peer-distance selection, a networking function of the package. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @leofcoin/chain@1.10.17. - Review the evidence and your use of @leofcoin/chain@1.10.17 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.
