@tangle-network/sandbox-cli@0.21.21
CLI for Tangle Sandbox operations
AI Security Review
scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe flagged bundle behavior resolves to competition checker execution and a submission flow, with results saved locally and sent during an explicit submit command. The unusual fixed sponsor hostname is part of validated competition deployment metadata; the reviewed code did not show it receiving user credentials or triggering automatically.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
The CLI entrypoint loads the command program; competition checks and submissions require invoking their respective commands.
Impact
Expected competition workflow effects; no unsupported credential exfiltration, persistence, or automatic account action was found.
Mechanism
A checker runs for a selected competition, saves evidence locally, and the submit command sends submission details to the Tangle API and interacts with the configured competition chain.
AI rationale
The flagged bundle behavior resolves to competition checker execution and a submission flow, with results saved locally and sent during an explicit submit command. The unusual fixed sponsor hostname is part of validated competition deployment metadata; the reviewed code did not show it receiving user credentials or triggering automatically.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 88.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- The manifest exposes a CLI at bin/tangle.js and sets dist/index.mjs as its main entrypoint; it declares no lifecycle scripts.
- The CLI imports dist/index.mjs, whose solve commands are described as participating in competitions.
- The solve run command executes a competition checker and records its evidence locally in .tangle-solve-run.json.
- The solve submit command rechecks the candidate, submits it to a chain, then posts submission data to the configured Tangle API.
- The hardcoded sponsor host is used as validated deployment metadata alongside a test-network RPC, fixed contracts, and a zero-stake setting.
Evidence against
- The bundle includes code that spawns the Claude setup-token command, although it clears inherited Anthropic credentials and displays only validated OAuth authorization URLs.
- The solve workflow includes a hardcoded tailnet sponsor endpoint; the inspected code checks that it matches trusted deployment metadata. No automatic credential transfer to this host was identified.
