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 install hook downloads unsigned native binaries from a CDN list led by static.jingyunyilian.com and trusts a checksum from that same host, then the CLI can execute the pilot binary. That is a real install-time code-execution risk, while the rest of the package behaves as an OKX trading CLI without a hidden credential or agent-hijack chain. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 78.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-23T22:58:38.045Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-23T23:00:32.929Z - **Download time:** 756 ms - **Static scan time:** 2478 ms - **AI review time:** 111649 ms - **Total time:** 114884 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:** Install-time code fetches native okx-pilot and okx-auth binaries from a three-host CDN list whose first host is static.jingyunyilian.com, stores them in ~/.okx/bin, and marks them executable. The CLI later launches okx-pilot with execFile. The integrity check is a checksum file served by the same host. - **Trigger:** npm install runs the postinstall script node scripts/postinstall.js. - **Impact:** A substituted response from the first CDN can place an attacker-controlled executable that the CLI will run on later use. No in-package secret theft or agent-config write runs during install. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-23T23:00:32.929Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** downloadPilotBinary and downloadOkxAuthBinary GET checksum.json and the platform binary from static.jingyunyilian.com, then static.okx.com and static.coinall.ltd, write the file under the home .okx/bin directory, and chmod 755. dist/index.js calls execFile on the pilot path for a later OKX request. - **Rationale:** The install hook downloads unsigned native binaries from a CDN list led by static.jingyunyilian.com and trusts a checksum from that same host, then the CLI can execute the pilot binary. That is a real install-time code-execution risk, while the rest of the package behaves as an OKX trading CLI without a hidden credential or agent-hijack chain. - **Files touched:** ~/.okx/bin/okx-pilot, ~/.okx/bin/okx-auth - **Network endpoints:** https://static.jingyunyilian.com/upgradeapp/tools/pilot, https://static.okx.com/upgradeapp/tools/pilot, https://static.coinall.ltd/upgradeapp/tools/pilot, https://static.jingyunyilian.com/upgradeapp/tools/oauth, https://static.okx.com/upgradeapp/tools/oauth, https://static.coinall.ltd/upgradeapp/tools/oauth ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 78.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** npm postinstall runs scripts/postinstall.js and ignores a non-zero exit., That script downloads okx-pilot and okx-auth over HTTPS, writes them under the home .okx/bin directory, and sets mode 755. The first host is static.jingyunyilian.com, followed by static.okx.com and static.coinall.ltd., The SHA-256 check uses checksum.json from the same host as the binary, so the package does not pin a local hash., dist/index.js later execFile's the downloaded okx-pilot binary when resolving a pilot node., The same CDN host list is compiled into dist/index.js. - **Evidence against:** Download failures are caught and do not fail npm install, and postinstall does not spawn the binaries., Pilot execution is limited to a domain argument matching \*.okx.com., Skill install and auth helper commands are explicit CLI actions, not install hooks., Runtime dependencies are undici and yauzl only, with no self-dependency lifecycle chain. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @okx\_ai/okx-trade-cli@1.4.8. - Review the evidence and your use of @okx\_ai/okx-trade-cli@1.4.8 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.
