Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — Credentials for separate services can be exposed to the configured remote cluster and persisted in its session Secret without specific consent for those credentials. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Credential Exfiltration - **Selected version:** 0.98.7 - **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 package automatically forwards discovered GitHub, npm, or Docker credentials to a remote Pod and persists them in its Kubernetes Secret when a refresh probe fails. Although refresh is user-triggered and the Pod is part of the package’s intended workflow, the user is not asked to opt in to sending these additional service credentials. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-30T19:35:47.500Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-30T19:37:11.951Z - **Download time:** 762 ms - **Static scan time:** 4188 ms - **AI review time:** 79500 ms - **Total time:** 84451 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:** Refresh workflows can silently transfer local GitHub, npm, and Docker credentials to remote session Pods and store them in Kubernetes Secrets. - **Trigger:** A user runs a soft refresh or refresh watch while a configured remote Pod has credentials missing for one of the default-probed tools. - **Impact:** Credentials for separate services can be exposed to the configured remote cluster and persisted in its session Secret without specific consent for those credentials. - **Evidence paths:** dist/auth-tools.js, dist/soft-refresh.js, dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T19:37:11.951Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The probe checks local credentials for gh, npm, and docker; on a failed Pod health check, it collects the local credentials, writes them into the Pod, and patches the Pod’s auth Secret without asking the user to select those tools. - **Attack narrative:** Running refresh or refresh watch triggers probes for GitHub, npm, and Docker by default. If a remote Pod lacks authentication for one, the package collects the corresponding local credentials, writes them into the Pod, and patches its Kubernetes auth Secret. The source describes tool credential bundling as opt-in, but this path selects these credentials automatically without asking the user. - **Rationale:** The package automatically forwards discovered GitHub, npm, or Docker credentials to a remote Pod and persists them in its Kubernetes Secret when a refresh probe fails. Although refresh is user-triggered and the Pod is part of the package’s intended workflow, the user is not asked to opt in to sending these additional service credentials. - **Files touched:** ~/.config/gh/hosts.yml, ~/.npmrc, ~/.docker/config.json, $HOME/${rel} in the session Pod, session-${sessionId}-auth Kubernetes Secret - **Network endpoints:** Configured Kubernetes API via kubectl and the user’s tunnel/kubeconfig; no host is hard-coded in the source. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** A refresh pass calls the credential health probe for each session; the probe defaults to GitHub, npm, and Docker., When a tool probe fails, the code collects that tool’s local credentials and pushes them., The source identifies GitHub credentials in ~/.config/gh/hosts.yml and npm and Docker credentials in ~/.npmrc and ~/.docker/config.json; it also describes bundling credentials as opt-in., The code writes credentials into the remote Pod’s home directory and patches that Pod’s Kubernetes auth Secret. - **Evidence against:** The transfer runs through the configured Kubernetes tunnel to this package’s remote sessions, which are intended to receive credentials., The probe is reached through a user-run refresh or watch workflow, and the package has no install lifecycle scripts. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @sentropic/h2a-runtime@0.98.7. - Avoid installing @sentropic/h2a-runtime@0.98.7. 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.
