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. When the worker is running, it can fetch the newest release information and run a global npm installation of that release. Its explicit autostart feature can also create operating-system startup entries. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-12T17:36:40.287Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-12T17:38:16.435Z - **Download time:** 1017 ms - **Static scan time:** 7143 ms - **AI review time:** 87987 ms - **Total time:** 96148 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:** When the worker is running, it can fetch the newest release information and run a global npm installation of that release. Its explicit autostart feature can also create operating-system startup entries. - **Trigger:** Starting the worker activates its periodic update cycle; running the autostart command activates startup registration. - **Impact:** A later registry release can be installed and executed automatically, and the worker can be configured to restart at boot. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-12T17:38:16.435Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic global self-update and optional operating-system persistence. - **Rationale:** The package performs automatic global self-updates during normal worker operation and provides OS persistence commands. These capabilities warrant a warning, but the absence of npm lifecycle hooks prevents a malicious install-hook classification. - **Files touched:** ~/.config/systemd/user/zplus-worker.service, ~/Library/LaunchAgents/net.softty.zplus-worker.plist - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org/@softtynet/zplus-worker/latest ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The running worker periodically checks the npm registry and globally installs a newer release of itself without a user confirmation step., The CLI contains commands that create boot-time services or registry startup entries., The package is a bundled executable, making the updater and persistence logic difficult to audit at module level. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook., The boot-time configuration is exposed as an explicit autostart CLI feature rather than running during npm installation., No confirmed credential harvesting or exfiltration path was found in the inspected package entrypoints. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @softtynet/zplus-worker@1.0.24. - Review the evidence and your use of @softtynet/zplus-worker@1.0.24 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.
