Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The flagged dynamic loading and child-process use are consistent with Nx generators and workspace creation. Inspected sources show no concrete malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 95.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-08T20:03:30.324Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-08T20:04:03.707Z - **Download time:** 508 ms - **Static scan time:** 409 ms - **AI review time:** 32466 ms - **Total time:** 33383 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:** No malicious attack surface was identified in the inspected entry point or flagged generator files. The process launch is part of creating a workspace and runs the local Nx CLI with preset arguments. - **Trigger:** Calling the workspace preset generator to create a workspace. - **Impact:** Creates a workspace; the inspected code provides no evidence of secret collection, unrelated network activity, or malicious mutation. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-08T20:04:03.707Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The generator resolves the Nx executable within the new workspace and forks it with arguments derived from the supplied preset options. - **Rationale:** The flagged dynamic loading and child-process use are consistent with Nx generators and workspace creation. Inspected sources show no concrete malicious behavior. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest identifies the Nx workspace entry point and package metadata., Optional Nx plugin helpers invoke generators only when those plugins are installed., Project move normalization validates and derives project naming and destination options., Workspace creation resolves the local Nx CLI and forwards preset options to it. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @nx/workspace@23.1.2. - Review the evidence and your use of @nx/workspace@23.1.2 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. Medium: Dynamic Require - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 75.0% - **Path:** dist/index.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Package source references dynamic require/import behavior. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript L3: exports.convertToNxProjectGenerator = exports.runCommandsGenerator = exports.removeGenerator = exports.moveGenerator = exports.serializeTarget = exports.parseTarget = exports.editT... L4: var ts_config_1 = require("./src/utilities/ts-config"); L5: Object.defineProperty(exports, "readTsConfig", { enumerable: true, get: function () { return ts_config_1.readTsConfig; } }); ``` ### 2. Medium: Environment Vars - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 75.0% Package source references environment variables. ### 3. Low: Filesystem - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 70.0% Package source references filesystem APIs. ### 4. High: Copied Package Dependency Bridge - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 83.0% - **Path:** dist/src/generators/move/lib/extract-base-configs.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Package metadata claims a different repository identity while copied source loads a runtime dependency bridge. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript package = @nx/workspace; repositoryIdentity = nx; dependency = @nx/devkit L5: exports.[redacted] = [redacted]; L6: const devkit_1 = require("@nx/devkit"); L7: const jest_config_1 = require("../../utils/jest-config"); ``` ### 5. Low: High Entropy Strings - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 55.0% Package source contains high-entropy string patterns. ### 6. Low: Url Strings - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 65.0% Package source contains URL literals. ### 7. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review - **Category:** Artifact Inventory - **Confidence:** 100.0% Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean. ### 8. High: Semantic Analysis Limited - **Category:** Scanner Coverage - **Confidence:** 100.0% - **Path:** dist/src/generators/move/lib/normalize-schema.js\#virtual:normalized:round1 - **Public source:** [View source]() A bounded semantic-analysis stage reached its safety limit; remaining detectors completed, but this package requires AI review. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```text stage = ast_semantic_analysis; reason = ast_parse_error; limitedFiles = 5 ``` ### 9. High: Previous Version Dangerous Delta - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Path:** dist/src/generators/new/generate-preset.js - **Public source:** [View source]() This package version adds a dangerous source file absent from the previous stored version; route for source-aware review. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript matchType = previous_version_dangerous_delta matchedPackage = @nx/workspace@23.2.1 matchedIdentity = npm:QG54L3dvcmtzcGFjZQ:23.2.1 similarity = 0.904 summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file ``` ### 10. Low: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() The manifest identifies the Nx workspace entry point and package metadata. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json "main": "./dist/index.js", "types": "./dist/index.d.ts", "typesVersions": { "*": { "tasks-runners/default": [ "dist/tasks-runners/default.d.ts" ] } }, "author": " ``` ### 11. Low: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Path:** dist/src/generators/move/lib/extract-base-configs.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Optional Nx plugin helpers invoke generators only when those plugins are installed. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript function maybeExtractTsConfigBase(tree) { let extractTsConfigBase; try { extractTsConfigBase = require('@nx/' + 'js').extractTsConfigBase; } catch { // Not installed, skip return; } extractTsConfigBase(tree); } a ``` ### 12. Low: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Path:** dist/src/generators/move/lib/normalize-schema.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Project move normalization validates and derives project naming and destination options. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript async function normalizeSchema(tree, schema, projectConfiguration) { const { destination, newProjectName, importPath } = await [redacted](tree, schema, projectConfiguration); const isNxConfiguredInPackageJson = !tree.exists((0, devkit_1.j ``` ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** No - **Dependencies:** 9 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 1 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 9 ### Published dependency entries - @nx/devkit 23.1.2 (Dependency) - @zkochan/js-yaml 0.0.7 (Dependency) - chalk ^4.1.0 (Dependency) - enquirer ~2.3.6 (Dependency) - nx 23.1.2 (Dependency) - picomatch 4.0.4 (Dependency) - semver ^7.6.3 (Dependency) - tslib ^2.3.0 (Dependency) - yargs-parser 21.1.1 (Dependency) ## Package metadata - **Package:** @nx/workspace - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 23.1.2 - **License:** MIT - **Version published:** 2026-08-26T23:29:54.982Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-10-21T20:50:05.748Z - **Known versions:** 8 - **Latest version:** 24.0.0 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Description:** The Workspace plugin contains executors and generators that are useful for any Nx workspace.
