Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — The vendor endpoint receives a credential for the Polar license service without a separate user request to send it there. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Credential Exfiltration - **Selected version:** 1.0.6 - **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: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The CLI automatically forwards the Polar license key to getreadystack.com on startup, including for commands that do not require a license. This is credential exfiltration to a host other than the license service. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-31T13:17:21.231Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-31T13:17:46.528Z - **Download time:** 762 ms - **Static scan time:** 57 ms - **AI review time:** 24477 ms - **Total time:** 25297 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 sends the Polar license key to the package vendor's rules-feed endpoint. - **Trigger:** Any CLI startup when READYSTACK\_LICENSE or a stored license key is present. - **Impact:** The vendor endpoint receives a credential for the Polar license service without a separate user request to send it there. - **Evidence paths:** cli.js, license.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T13:17:46.528Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** pullFeed reads the key and includes it in a GET query to getreadystack.com before command arguments are processed; the key is otherwise validated with api.polar.sh. - **Attack narrative:** On CLI startup, before parsing the requested command, the package calls pullFeed. When a license key exists in the environment or local store, pullFeed sends it as a query parameter to getreadystack.com. The package also sends the key to api.polar.sh for license validation, so the feed request exposes that service credential to a different host. - **Rationale:** The CLI automatically forwards the Polar license key to getreadystack.com on startup, including for commands that do not require a license. This is credential exfiltration to a host other than the license service. - **Files touched:** ~/.config/readystack/impressum-lint-de.json - **Network endpoints:** getreadystack.com/api/rules/, api.polar.sh/v1/customer-portal/license-keys/validate ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** Every CLI start calls pullFeed before parsing arguments; the call also runs for free checks., pullFeed reads READYSTACK\_LICENSE or the locally stored key and sends it as a URL query parameter to getreadystack.com., The license key is validated separately against api.polar.sh, indicating it is a credential for that service. - **Evidence against:** The package validates license keys against api.polar.sh, the license service., Usage telemetry sends only the tool slug, source and reason, with opt-out checks. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @readystack/impressum-lint-de@1.0.6. - Avoid installing @readystack/impressum-lint-de@1.0.6. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
