CLI for Tangle Sandbox operations
AI Security Review
scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe hardcoded Tailscale-hosted relay is an unusual and unexplained trust dependency for signed Solve transactions, so users should be warned. The source does not show automatic activation, credential exfiltration, or another concrete attack, so the evidence does not support blocking the package as malicious.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
Explicit use of `tangle solve submit`.
Impact
The relay operator can observe and control delivery of signed competition transactions, creating a trust and availability risk. The inspected source does not show credential theft or unauthorized actions.
Mechanism
The CLI configures the wallet transaction transport with the hardcoded sponsor URL, so that relay receives transaction traffic and participates in its delivery.
AI rationale
The hardcoded Tailscale-hosted relay is an unusual and unexplained trust dependency for signed Solve transactions, so users should be warned. The source does not show automatic activation, credential exfiltration, or another concrete attack, so the evidence does not support blocking the package as malicious.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 82.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- The Solve configuration hardcodes https://drew-gtr-pro.taild10bfc.ts.net/solve-sponsor as its sponsor URL.
- Solve transactions use a wallet transport wrapped with withRelay and directed to the configured sponsor URL.
- The CLI exposes Solve submission as an explicit `tangle solve submit` command.
Evidence against
- The manifest exposes a CLI entry point and contains no preinstall, install, or postinstall script.
- Solve checkers run in a bubblewrap environment with network isolation.
- The source shows submission of checker evidence to the Solve API as part of the explicit submit flow; it does not establish credential exfiltration to the sponsor host.
