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. No confirmed malicious payload is present in the inspected snapshot. The install hook can retrieve an unverified platform archive from a remote endpoint. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-22T10:27:46.689Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-22T10:36:37.778Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 42 ms - **AI review time:** 530536 ms - **Total time:** 531089 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 confirmed malicious payload is present in the inspected snapshot. The install hook can retrieve an unverified platform archive from a remote endpoint. - **Trigger:** npm automatically runs postinstall during package installation. - **Impact:** A compromised endpoint or network path could supply a staged native payload; no confirmed attack behavior was available for inspection. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.mjs, platform-bootstrap.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-22T10:36:37.778Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The bootstrap disables TLS certificate verification, follows redirects, downloads an archive, and extracts it into node\_modules. - **Rationale:** The automatic, unauthenticated remote binary staging path is a concrete supply-chain risk, but the inspected source does not prove malicious payload behavior or exfiltration. - **Files touched:** .platform-bootstrap-work, node\_modules, bin/.onecode - **Network endpoints:** https://218.90.133.98:4443/onecode\_tgz ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The package automatically runs a postinstall script., Postinstall invokes the platform bootstrap routine., The bootstrap downloads a platform archive from a raw-IP HTTPS endpoint while disabling certificate verification and follows redirects., The downloaded archive is extracted and installed without an integrity check. - **Evidence against:** The inspected JavaScript contains no credential harvesting, exfiltration, or destructive actions., The downloaded binary is launched only when the user invokes the onecode command; its contents are not available in this snapshot. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @onescience/onecode@1.14.50-202609221817. - Review the evidence and your use of @onescience/onecode@1.14.50-202609221817 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.
