## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 15 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Credential Exfiltration
- **Selected version:** 0.28.4
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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 package does not show an automatic lifecycle attack, but the iLands CLI permits forwarding its sandbox token to an unrestricted configured host. This is a concrete conditional credential exposure warranting a warning.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0%

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 iLands CLI can disclose its sandbox bearer token to a configured RPC host.

- **Trigger:** A user invokes an iLands RPC command in an environment containing both sandbox RPC variables.

- **Impact:** A configured or compromised destination can receive the sandbox token.

- **Evidence paths:** ilands.mjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-10T17:46:26.612Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The CLI uses the configured URL as the request base and sends the configured token as a bearer credential; URL validation accepts any HTTP or HTTPS host.

- **Rationale:** The package does not show an automatic lifecycle attack, but the iLands CLI permits forwarding its sandbox token to an unrestricted configured host. This is a concrete conditional credential exposure warranting a warning.

- **Files touched:** ilands.mjs

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The manifest exposes command-line tools and defines no lifecycle scripts., The iLands command takes its RPC destination and bearer token from environment variables, allowing the token to be sent to a configured host., The command sends that token in an HTTP POST authorization header.

- **Evidence against:** The Actionway gateway rejects non-HTTPS destinations except localhost and loopback., The iLands RPC call requires both environment values; no package default destination or token is shown.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @pawlogic/dl@0.28.4.

- Review the evidence and your use of @pawlogic/dl@0.28.4 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.
