Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Source inspection found no lifecycle hook or concrete attack behavior. The flagged network and execution primitives fit the CLI’s configured sandbox API and opt-in update flow. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-07T14:55:15.022Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-07T14:56:14.008Z - **Download time:** 1025 ms - **Static scan time:** 1239 ms - **AI review time:** 56722 ms - **Total time:** 58986 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 malicious attack surface was identified. The package provides CLI entrypoints and a gated sandbox self-updater that uses its configured callback service. - **Trigger:** A user invokes the CLI; the updater runs only when its wrapper is invoked and DL\_NPM\_DIST\_TAG is set. - **Impact:** Expected CLI and update-service behavior; source inspected does not show covert credential collection or unrelated command-output exfiltration. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-07T14:56:14.008Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The updater may install the configured package release and send update status and selected sandbox metadata to CALLBACK\_SERVER\_URL using DL\_PROXY\_TOKEN. - **Rationale:** Source inspection found no lifecycle hook or concrete attack behavior. The flagged network and execution primitives fit the CLI’s configured sandbox API and opt-in update flow. - **Files touched:** package.json, dl.mjs, dl-npm-update.sh ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json exposes two CLI entrypoints and declares no lifecycle script., dl.mjs uses CALLBACK\_SERVER\_URL with DL\_PROXY\_TOKEN to select its sandbox API mode; this is an explicit caller-configured service integration., dl-npm-update.sh skips self-update when DL\_NPM\_DIST\_TAG is unset and reports update metadata to the configured callback endpoint. - **Evidence against:** The updater installs the package only when its wrapper is invoked and a distribution tag is configured; no install hook is declared., The callback event sends update outcome and selected sandbox metadata, rather than harvested command output or unrelated credentials. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @pawlogic/dl@0.15.17. - Review the evidence and your use of @pawlogic/dl@0.15.17 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.
