CLI for Tangle Sandbox operations
AI Security Review
scanned 6d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package’s normal CLI actions are user-triggered, and the credential and telemetry signals inspected do not show automatic exfiltration. The fixed Tailscale sponsor is nevertheless wired into Solve transaction submission without an evident authorization basis in the source, creating a concrete routing risk.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user runs `tangle solve submit`.
Impact
The sponsor can observe and relay or refuse submission transactions. The inspected flow does not show the user's private key being sent.
Mechanism
The CLI configures the wallet transport with the Tempo RPC and the hard-coded sponsor URL, then submits competition transactions.
AI rationale
The package’s normal CLI actions are user-triggered, and the credential and telemetry signals inspected do not show automatic exfiltration. The fixed Tailscale sponsor is nevertheless wired into Solve transaction submission without an evident authorization basis in the source, creating a concrete routing risk.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Suspicious at 78.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
Evidence for warning
- Solve submission transactions are routed through the fixed host drew-gtr-pro.taild10bfc.ts.net.
- The Solve wallet transport uses the configured sponsor URL alongside the Tempo RPC.
- The fixed sponsor is reached by the explicit `tangle solve submit` command.
Evidence against
- The sponsor flow is limited to Solve transaction submission; no automatic install-time or import-time submission was found.
- The source pins the Solve chain and contract metadata and checks them against hard-coded values.
- The content telemetry setup states that content gates are off by default.
