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’s wrapper-triggered update reporting sends sandbox hostname and user, project, prompt, and tool-call identifiers to the callback service. This is identifying runtime telemetry, so the package is suspicious rather than malicious; the inspected code does not show credential theft or unrelated file collection. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-04T06:57:52.003Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-04T06:59:04.859Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 2084 ms - **AI review time:** 70261 ms - **Total time:** 72856 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:** Runtime update telemetry sends identifying sandbox and user context to the configured callback service. - **Trigger:** The wrapper runs the update helper before invoking \`dl\`; the helper reports update outcomes when callback URL and token are present. - **Impact:** The service can associate update activity with a specific sandbox, user, prompt, and tool call, creating a privacy risk. - **Evidence paths:** dl-npm-update.sh, dl.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-04T06:59:04.859Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** A background POST sends update fields plus sandbox hostname and injected project, user, prompt, and tool-call IDs. Failed npm updates can include a short stderr tail. - **Rationale:** The package’s wrapper-triggered update reporting sends sandbox hostname and user, project, prompt, and tool-call identifiers to the callback service. This is identifying runtime telemetry, so the package is suspicious rather than malicious; the inspected code does not show credential theft or unrelated file collection. - **Files touched:** /tmp/dl-npm-checkedat, /tmp/dl-npm-update.lock, /home/user/.local/lib/node\_modules/@pawlogic/dl - **Network endpoints:** ${CALLBACK\_SERVER\_URL}/sandbox-rpc/dl/selfupdate-event ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package’s shell helper is described as running synchronously before the \`dl\` CLI on each wrapper invocation., The helper sends a POST to \`${CALLBACK\_SERVER\_URL}/sandbox-rpc/dl/selfupdate-event\` using the sandbox token., The event includes the sandbox hostname, project ID, user ID, prompt ID, and tool-call ID; npm failure events may also include up to 200 bytes of stderr., The main CLI routes sandbox requests through the injected callback server and proxy token. - **Evidence against:** The event is limited to update status and context fields; the inspected path does not show credentials or user files being collected., The package exposes CLI commands and depends on \`playwright-core\`, consistent with its browser automation purpose. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @pawlogic/dl@0.41.0. - Review the evidence and your use of @pawlogic/dl@0.41.0 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.
