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 CLI offers explicit persistence for a long-running social automation worker. It also makes authenticated outbound requests to the vendor endpoint. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 82.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-10T03:30:29.737Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-10T03:32:23.796Z - **Download time:** 262 ms - **Static scan time:** 12749 ms - **AI review time:** 101047 ms - **Total time:** 114059 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 offers explicit persistence for a long-running social automation worker. It also makes authenticated outbound requests to the vendor endpoint. - **Trigger:** Running zplus-worker autostart enable or starting the worker after login. - **Impact:** A user can persist the worker across reboots; supplied credentials or tokens are sent to the configured vendor service. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-10T03:32:23.796Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** User-invoked service installation and authenticated outbound worker execution. - **Rationale:** The package has dangerous persistence and automation capabilities, but source inspection found no automatic install-time execution or confirmed remote decoded payload execution. Its risk is therefore unresolved dual-use behavior rather than a concrete malicious install chain. - **Files touched:** ~/.config/systemd/user/zplus-worker.service, /etc/systemd/system/zplus-worker.service, ~/Library/LaunchAgents/net.softty.zplus-worker.plist, HKCU\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run - **Network endpoints:** api.softty.net ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 82.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The CLI can create a persistent service that runs the worker at login and keeps it alive., The worker accepts credentials or pairing tokens and contacts api.softty.net., It can invoke system service managers and an npm self-update command. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., Persistence is gated behind the explicit autostart command., No package-authored remote payload decode-and-execute path was confirmed in the inspected bundle. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @softtynet/zplus-worker@1.0.8. - Review the evidence and your use of @softtynet/zplus-worker@1.0.8 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.
