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 fixed private-network default combined with bearer-token forwarding is a real unresolved credential exposure risk, so warn rather than block. The command execution finding is consistent with local machine fingerprinting, and the inspected source does not prove exfiltration of that output. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 76.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-07T23:35:01.475Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-07T23:35:43.169Z - **Download time:** 1286 ms - **Static scan time:** 574 ms - **AI review time:** 39833 ms - **Total time:** 41694 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:** Authenticated CLI requests can send a stored access token to the configured service, whose default address is a private-network IP. This creates conditional credential exposure, but the source does not establish that the recipient is unrelated to the product. - **Trigger:** A user invokes a CLI operation that makes a required-auth request while credentials are available. - **Impact:** A recipient controlling or observing that endpoint could receive the user's service token. - **Evidence paths:** dist/bin/taichu.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-07T23:35:43.169Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The request client attaches the stored access token as a bearer credential and sends the request to its URL; the default API and auth endpoints use 172.16.10.55. - **Rationale:** The fixed private-network default combined with bearer-token forwarding is a real unresolved credential exposure risk, so warn rather than block. The command execution finding is consistent with local machine fingerprinting, and the inspected source does not prove exfiltration of that output. - **Network endpoints:** http://172.16.10.55:15497/taichu-web/, http://172.16.10.55:8000 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 76.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The shipped \`taichu\` executable is \`dist/bin/taichu.js\`., The CLI defaults both API and authentication endpoints to \`172.16.10.55\`., Required-auth requests attach the stored access token as a bearer credential. - **Evidence against:** The endpoint is configured as the CLI's API and auth service; the inspected source does not establish that it is an unrelated recipient., Command output is used in local machine fingerprinting; no exfiltration of that output was established. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @taichuai/taichu-cli@1.0.2. - Review the evidence and your use of @taichuai/taichu-cli@1.0.2 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.
