Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 18 finding(s) warrant review before installing. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Remote Code Execution - **Selected version:** 0.38.1 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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 is not demonstrated malware, but its unpinned runtime npx execution creates a supply-chain execution risk. The Docker credential forwarding is explicit but increases the impact of a compromised workflow or resolved release. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-08T15:34:11.227Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-08T15:35:25.475Z - **Download time:** 1048 ms - **Static scan time:** 2079 ms - **AI review time:** 71119 ms - **Total time:** 74248 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 user-triggered inspector run may cause npx to obtain and execute an unpinned Kraftwerk release. Sandbox runs can intentionally expose configured credentials and an optional SSH agent to the selected workflow. - **Trigger:** A user starts a workflow from the inspector, optionally with sandbox or SSH enabled. - **Impact:** A changed registry release or untrusted workflow could execute with the invoking project's permissions and supplied credentials. - **Evidence paths:** dist/inspector/runner.js, dist/runner/docker.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-08T15:35:25.475Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Runtime npx resolution and optional credential forwarding to Docker. - **Rationale:** The package is not demonstrated malware, but its unpinned runtime npx execution creates a supply-chain execution risk. The Docker credential forwarding is explicit but increases the impact of a compromised workflow or resolved release. - **Files touched:** dist/inspector/runner.js, dist/runner/docker.js, output/runs/\/trigger.log, output/runs/\/runner.json - **Network endpoints:** registry.npmjs.org ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Critical Vulnerability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The inspector launches \`npx kraftwerk run\` without a no-install flag, so a project lacking a local binary can resolve and execute a registry release at runtime., The Docker runner deliberately passes configured environment values and, when requested, an SSH agent socket into a workflow container. - **Evidence against:** The manifest has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook; its only lifecycle entry is prepublishOnly., The npx launch is reached through an inspector run request, not package installation or import., The registry request only checks the package's latest version through a local UI endpoint., The flagged SQL and VBScript assets are bundled syntax highlighters, not package execution paths., No source evidence shows credential collection, secret transmission, covert persistence, or reviewer-directed text. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @netnodeag/kraftwerk@0.38.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @netnodeag/kraftwerk@0.38.1 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.
