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 helper has a real conditional credential-forwarding risk because it sends DL\_PROXY\_TOKEN to an environment-selected endpoint without destination validation. This supports a warning, while the package manifest shows no automatic npm install hook to establish an install-time attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 89.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-07T14:56:11.183Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-07T14:57:17.033Z - **Download time:** 1025 ms - **Static scan time:** 1276 ms - **AI review time:** 63549 ms - **Total time:** 65850 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:** The shipped update helper can expose its bearer token to a callback endpoint selected through the environment. - **Trigger:** The helper runs with DL\_NPM\_DIST\_TAG set and both CALLBACK\_SERVER\_URL and DL\_PROXY\_TOKEN present. - **Impact:** If the callback URL points outside the token's intended service, the recipient receives the existing token and telemetry fields. - **Evidence paths:** dl-npm-update.sh - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-07T14:57:17.033Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** It posts update telemetry to the configured callback URL and places DL\_PROXY\_TOKEN in the Authorization header; the source does not restrict the destination. - **Rationale:** The helper has a real conditional credential-forwarding risk because it sends DL\_PROXY\_TOKEN to an environment-selected endpoint without destination validation. This supports a warning, while the package manifest shows no automatic npm install hook to establish an install-time attack. - **Files touched:** dl-npm-update.sh - **Network endpoints:** CALLBACK\_SERVER\_URL ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 89.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package exposes command-line entrypoints and ships the update helper; the manifest shows no npm lifecycle hook., The helper sends an existing DL\_PROXY\_TOKEN as a bearer credential to the CALLBACK\_SERVER\_URL environment value, without a destination allowlist., The helper only reports when both callback URL and token are present, and its reporting path is gated on DL\_NPM\_DIST\_TAG. - **Evidence against:** The manifest has no preinstall, install, or postinstall script; the observed update helper is not an npm lifecycle hook. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @pawlogic/dl@0.15.13. - Review the evidence and your use of @pawlogic/dl@0.15.13 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.
