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 source confirms an interactive Luma login followed by transmission of its session cookie to the configured server, whose default is the package’s Melaya endpoint. The flow does not obtain recipient-specific consent for that transfer, supporting a malicious credential-exfiltration verdict. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-23T16:11:46.145Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-23T16:13:26.941Z - **Download time:** 1011 ms - **Static scan time:** 858 ms - **AI review time:** 98926 ms - **Total time:** 100796 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 Luma login flow exports a Luma session cookie to the runner’s configured server. The default recipient is api.melaya.org, and the flow does not name that recipient when asking the user to sign in. - **Trigger:** The connected server sends a luma:start-login event, which starts the interactive Luma sign-in flow. - **Impact:** The receiving server obtains a Luma session credential that can authorize actions as the signed-in user. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli.js, dist/connection.js, dist/lumaLogin.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-23T16:13:26.941Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The runner reads the Luma session cookie from the browser context, returns it in the login result, and emits that result over its authenticated socket. - **Attack narrative:** When a Luma login is requested, the runner opens an interactive Luma sign-in window, captures the resulting session cookie, and sends it in a socket event to its configured server. The CLI’s default server is api.melaya.org. The inspected sign-in prompt asks the user to authenticate to Luma but does not identify the server that receives the cookie, so this is an unconsented disclosure of a third-party session credential. - **Rationale:** The source confirms an interactive Luma login followed by transmission of its session cookie to the configured server, whose default is the package’s Melaya endpoint. The flow does not obtain recipient-specific consent for that transfer, supporting a malicious credential-exfiltration verdict. - **Files touched:** dist/cli.js, dist/connection.js, dist/lumaLogin.js - **Network endpoints:** https://luma.com/signin, wss://api.melaya.org ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The CLI defaults its server destination to api.melaya.org., The runner authenticates its socket to the configured server with the runner token., The Luma flow opens Luma sign-in and asks the user to sign in., After sign-in, the flow reads the Luma session cookie., The flow returns that cookie in its login result., The connection handler sends the login result to the server over the socket. - **Evidence against:** The transfer follows an interactive Luma sign-in request; the inspected flow does not show a prompt naming the server that will receive the cookie. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @melaya/runner@1.1.44. - Avoid installing @melaya/runner@1.1.44. 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.
