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 manifest has no install hook, and the inspected source does not substantiate the scanner’s credential-redirection or command-output claims. The package-pinned Solve sponsor recipient remains unresolved, so this review treats it as a warning rather than a confirmed attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 58.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-24T01:35:22.788Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-24T01:36:02.017Z - **Download time:** 2305 ms - **Static scan time:** 650 ms - **AI review time:** 36273 ms - **Total time:** 39229 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:** No concrete attack was established. The runtime does pin Solve sponsor traffic to a package-selected host, leaving the recipient’s role unresolved. - **Trigger:** Use of Solve functionality that requests a sponsored transaction. - **Impact:** The sponsor service receives requests for this feature; inspected excerpts do not establish credential or command-output disclosure. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-24T01:36:02.017Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The bundled runtime fixes the sponsor URL and requires deployment metadata to match it. - **Rationale:** The manifest has no install hook, and the inspected source does not substantiate the scanner’s credential-redirection or command-output claims. The package-pinned Solve sponsor recipient remains unresolved, so this review treats it as a warning rather than a confirmed attack. - **Network endpoints:** https://drew-gtr-pro.taild10bfc.ts.net/solve-sponsor ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 58.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package exposes a CLI and library entrypoint through its manifest, and the CLI imports the bundled runtime., The bundled runtime hardcodes a sponsor service on an unusual host for the Solve deployment., The runtime rejects Solve metadata whose sponsor URL differs from that hardcoded service. - **Evidence against:** The package manifest declares no install lifecycle scripts., The inspected login code exchanges a browser grant with the configured authentication service; the unusual sponsor host was not shown receiving credentials or command output. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @tangle-network/sandbox-cli@0.20.28. - Review the evidence and your use of @tangle-network/sandbox-cli@0.20.28 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.
