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 sponsor endpoint in the solve transaction workflow is an unresolved risk and warrants a warning. Inspection did not substantiate scanner claims of credential redirection or command-output exfiltration. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 72.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-24T10:52:17.929Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-24T10:53:10.911Z - **Download time:** 1273 ms - **Static scan time:** 665 ms - **AI review time:** 51043 ms - **Total time:** 52982 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 pins solve submissions to a fixed sponsor endpoint outside the package’s Tangle domains. This creates unresolved risk in a transaction workflow, but inspected source does not establish credential theft or another concrete attack. - **Trigger:** A user runs the solve submission workflow for the pinned competition. - **Impact:** Solve sponsorship traffic is directed to the fixed endpoint; the inspected excerpts do not establish what data it receives or how it is used. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-24T10:53:10.911Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The bundle hardcodes the sponsor URL and checks that competition metadata matches it before submission operations. - **Rationale:** The fixed sponsor endpoint in the solve transaction workflow is an unresolved risk and warrants a warning. Inspection did not substantiate scanner claims of credential redirection or command-output exfiltration. - **Files touched:** dist/index.mjs - **Network endpoints:** https://drew-gtr-pro.taild10bfc.ts.net/solve-sponsor ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 72.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The published CLI entrypoint loads the bundled runtime., The runtime hardcodes a non-Tangle sponsor endpoint and rejects competition metadata that specifies a different sponsor., Solve submission code performs account and contract operations, so the fixed sponsor endpoint is used in a transaction workflow. - **Evidence against:** The manifest declares no install lifecycle hook; the identified endpoint is part of the explicit solve workflow, and inspection did not establish credential theft or command-output exfiltration. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @tangle-network/sandbox-cli@0.20.34. - Review the evidence and your use of @tangle-network/sandbox-cli@0.20.34 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.
