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 bundle routes Solve wallet traffic through a fixed external sponsor relay, while validating deployment metadata and limiting activation to Solve operations. The source leaves the relay's relationship and transaction-data handling unresolved, so a warning is appropriate without claiming confirmed malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 78.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-25T00:00:55.046Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-25T00:01:49.647Z - **Download time:** 1791 ms - **Static scan time:** 667 ms - **AI review time:** 52142 ms - **Total time:** 54601 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:** Solve operations route wallet transactions through a fixed sponsor relay on a host outside the package's Tangle service domains. This is a real external transaction path, but the inspected source does not establish credential theft or other concrete attack behavior. - **Trigger:** A user invokes a Solve operation that needs wallet transaction submission. - **Impact:** The relay participates in transaction submission; its exact visibility and handling of transaction data are not established by the inspected excerpt. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-25T00:01:49.647Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The package fixes a sponsor URL and configures the wallet transport to use that URL alongside the RPC transport. - **Rationale:** The bundle routes Solve wallet traffic through a fixed external sponsor relay, while validating deployment metadata and limiting activation to Solve operations. The source leaves the relay's relationship and transaction-data handling unresolved, so a warning is appropriate without claiming confirmed malicious behavior. - **Network endpoints:** https://drew-gtr-pro.taild10bfc.ts.net/solve-sponsor ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 78.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package exposes a CLI and runtime module, with no install lifecycle hook in its manifest., Solve transaction signing uses a fixed sponsor relay host outside the package's tangle.tools domains., The relay is used as the wallet transport when a user invokes Solve operations; source does not establish what the relay receives beyond its role in transaction submission. - **Evidence against:** The suspicious behavior is reachable through explicit Solve CLI operations, not installation., The source checks Solve chain and deployment metadata against fixed values before proceeding. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @tangle-network/sandbox-cli@0.20.38. - Review the evidence and your use of @tangle-network/sandbox-cli@0.20.38 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.
