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 source shows conditional forwarding of an existing sandbox token to an environment-configured callback without an enforced destination allowlist, which warrants a warning under the credential-forwarding policy. The manifest has no install hook, and the inspected behavior does not establish a malicious attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-10T14:15:31.011Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-10T14:16:21.844Z - **Download time:** 1283 ms - **Static scan time:** 1472 ms - **AI review time:** 48078 ms - **Total time:** 50833 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 CLI and shipped updater can forward DL\_PROXY\_TOKEN to a callback host selected through CALLBACK\_SERVER\_URL. The source does not enforce a destination allowlist, so credential exposure depends on the environment-provided host. - **Trigger:** Using the sandbox CLI with CALLBACK\_SERVER\_URL and DL\_PROXY\_TOKEN set, or invoking the shipped updater under those conditions. - **Impact:** A misconfigured or untrusted callback host could receive the sandbox token; no confirmed malicious recipient or attack was established. - **Evidence paths:** dl.mjs, dl-npm-update.sh - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-10T14:16:21.844Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The code places the token in a bearer authorization header for API and telemetry requests to the configured callback host. - **Rationale:** The source shows conditional forwarding of an existing sandbox token to an environment-configured callback without an enforced destination allowlist, which warrants a warning under the credential-forwarding policy. The manifest has no install hook, and the inspected behavior does not establish a malicious attack. - **Network endpoints:** CALLBACK\_SERVER\_URL ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The CLI accepts DL\_PROXY\_TOKEN and CALLBACK\_SERVER\_URL from the environment and uses them to configure its sandbox API client., The CLI sends the token as a bearer credential to a self-update telemetry path on the configured callback host., The shipped update helper sends the same token to that configured host when both environment values are present. - **Evidence against:** The manifest defines CLI binaries but no install lifecycle hook., The helper reports update status and metadata, and its self-update installs this package by tag. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @pawlogic/dl@0.28.2. - Review the evidence and your use of @pawlogic/dl@0.28.2 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.
