## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 25 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Unknown
- **Selected version:** 0.75.399
- **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: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The package does not show an automatic attack, but its exported SSL setup helper interpolates a caller-controlled domain into a sudo shell command. That creates a real privileged command injection risk when setup is explicitly run with an untrusted project value.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0%
- **Started:** 2026-10-31T07:52:38.074Z
- **Finished:** 2026-10-31T07:53:36.970Z
- **Download time:** 508 ms
- **Static scan time:** 660 ms
- **AI review time:** 57728 ms
- **Total time:** 58896 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:** A privileged shell injection risk exists in the local SSL setup helper; no malicious behavior was identified in the package’s automatic install or import paths.

- **Trigger:** A user explicitly invokes SSL setup with an attacker-controlled domain from options.domain or APP\_URL and approves the sudo operation.

- **Impact:** The injected command could execute with elevated privileges; the helper also modifies /etc/hosts and installs local SSL certificates into trusted certificate stores.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/setup/ssl.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T07:53:36.970Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The domain is interpolated into a hosts-file shell command run with sudo without shell escaping.

- **Rationale:** The package does not show an automatic attack, but its exported SSL setup helper interpolates a caller-controlled domain into a sudo shell command. That creates a real privileged command injection risk when setup is explicitly run with an untrusted project value.

- **Files touched:** /etc/hosts, /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/stacks, /Library/Keychains/System.keychain, ~/.stacks/ssl

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 90.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The SSL helper inserts the selected domain into a shell command that runs through sudo, without shell escaping., The helper accepts \`options.domain\` or \`APP\_URL\`, so an attacker-controlled project value can reach that privileged command when a user explicitly runs SSL setup., Deployment code reads AWS credentials for its AWS deployment flow and uses AWS STS to retrieve the account identity; no unrelated credential collector was identified.

- **Evidence against:** The only lifecycle script is \`prepublishOnly\`, which runs the package build., SSL setup is exposed as a helper and requires an explicit setup call; the package entry point does not invoke it automatically., The reported \`stacksjs.com\` match in deployment is in subscriber email content, while AWS credentials are used in the AWS deployment flow.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @stacksjs/actions@0.75.399.

- Review the evidence and your use of @stacksjs/actions@0.75.399 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.
