Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: manual review; recommendation: manual review. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The custom-preset path invokes a build-script approval helper, but the helper implementation in the selected nx dependency was unavailable, leaving its scope and consent behavior unresolved. Manual review is warranted; the inspected source does not establish an attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 84.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-21T20:49:13.543Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-21T20:50:05.748Z - **Download time:** 501 ms - **Static scan time:** 413 ms - **AI review time:** 51290 ms - **Total time:** 52205 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 attack was identified in the inspected source. The custom-preset setup path calls a build-script approval helper whose implementation could not be resolved. - **Trigger:** Running the workspace generator with a versioned custom preset. - **Impact:** The approval scope and consent behavior remain unresolved, so the effect on dependency script permissions cannot be determined. - **Evidence paths:** dist/src/generators/new/new.js, package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-fa228cea-5222-424b-b71d-5a7ebea4dcb1/0/npm-linux/dist/internal.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-21T20:50:05.748Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The generator delegates approval handling to a helper re-exported by @nx/devkit from nx; the helper's implementation was unavailable for inspection. - **Rationale:** The custom-preset path invokes a build-script approval helper, but the helper implementation in the selected nx dependency was unavailable, leaving its scope and consent behavior unresolved. Manual review is warranted; the inspected source does not establish an attack. - **Files touched:** dist/src/generators/new/new.js, package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-fa228cea-5222-424b-b71d-5a7ebea4dcb1/0/npm-linux/dist/internal.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** The new-workspace generator calls a declared-build-script approval helper only for custom presets with a preset version., The inspected devkit source only re-exports that helper; its implementation comes from nx, whose selected dependency source was unresolved in the supplied snapshot. - **Evidence against:** The manifest identifies this as the Nx workspace package and declares nx as a dependency., The inspected source does not establish the helper's permission scope or consent behavior. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @nx/workspace@24.0.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @nx/workspace@24.0.0 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 = 2 ``` ### 9. High: Previous Version Dangerous Delta - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Path:** dist/src/generators/new/new.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 = 0.940 summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file ``` ### 10. Low: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Path:** dist/src/generators/new/new.js - **Public source:** [View source]() The new-workspace generator calls a declared-build-script approval helper only for custom presets with a preset version. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript if (options.isCustomPreset && options.presetVersion) { // The preset generator only runs after the install below, so the // decisions it declares for its dependency tree are recorded here. await (0, internal_1.acknowledgeDeclaredBuildScripts)(tree, options.packageManager, options.preset, options.presetVersion, options.di ``` ### 11.
