The integrity metadata is fetched from the same remote source as the payload. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-20T09:56:39.280Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-20T09:58:10.255Z - **Download time:** 756 ms - **Static scan time:** 3023 ms - **AI review time:** 87195 ms - **Total time:** 90975 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation silently fetches and stages executable pilot and auth binaries; later CLI requests can execute the pilot binary. The integrity metadata is fetched from the same remote source as the payload. - **Trigger:** npm installation; later CLI network resolution invokes the pilot binary. - **Impact:** A compromised or substituted CDN response can supply code that runs with the installing user's privileges. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-20T09:58:10.255Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** install-time remote native-binary staging followed by runtime execution - **Rationale:** Source confirms an install-time remote executable staging chain and subsequent runtime execution path. It does not confirm direct credential theft, destructive behavior, or immediate payload execution during installation. - **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, dist/index.js, ~/.okx/bin/okx-pilot, ~/.okx/bin/okx-auth - **Network endpoints:** https://static.jingyunyilian.com, https://static.okx.com, https://static.coinall.ltd ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** postinstall runs automatically on npm installation., Install hook downloads two platform binaries from remote CDNs., Downloaded binaries are placed in ~/.okx/bin and made executable., Runtime CLI executes the downloaded pilot binary. - **Evidence against:** No host fingerprint collection or credential exfiltration appears in postinstall., Credential prompts occur only in an explicit config command. ## Public findings ### 1.
