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 updater has a concrete credential-forwarding path to an operator-configured callback without a destination allowlist. Because activation and endpoint trust depend on runtime configuration, this warrants a warning rather than a block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-07T14:55:15.097Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-07T14:56:55.194Z - **Download time:** 761 ms - **Static scan time:** 1292 ms - **AI review time:** 98043 ms - **Total time:** 100097 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 bundled updater can forward an existing proxy token and operational data to a configured callback endpoint. This creates conditional credential exposure when that endpoint is unrestricted. - **Trigger:** The wrapper invokes the updater with both CALLBACK\_SERVER\_URL and DL\_PROXY\_TOKEN set. - **Impact:** A misconfigured or untrusted callback destination could receive the proxy token and operational data. - **Evidence paths:** dl-npm-update.sh - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-07T14:56:55.194Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The updater sends a bearer-authenticated event containing identifiers and, on npm failure, up to 200 bytes of error output to the callback URL. - **Rationale:** The updater has a concrete credential-forwarding path to an operator-configured callback without a destination allowlist. Because activation and endpoint trust depend on runtime configuration, this warrants a warning rather than a block. - **Files touched:** dl-npm-update.sh ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The updater sends a bearer token to a callback URL supplied through the environment, with no destination allowlist in the request logic., The event includes sandbox and user identifiers, and can include the tail of npm error output., Both the callback URL and proxy token must be present before reporting runs. - **Evidence against:** The manifest has no install lifecycle hooks; the updater is a packaged shell file, not a declared install script., The updater report is limited to a self-update event endpoint and bounded error output. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @pawlogic/dl@0.24.4. - Review the evidence and your use of @pawlogic/dl@0.24.4 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.
