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 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 78.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-30T10:39:05.189Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-30T10:41:10.407Z - **Download time:** 1558 ms - **Static scan time:** 30575 ms - **AI review time:** 93084 ms - **Total time:** 125218 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 submissions route signed transaction requests through a fixed, non-Tangle-domain Tailscale host. - **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. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T10:41:10.407Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI configures the wallet transport with the Tempo RPC and the hard-coded sponsor URL, then submits competition transactions. - **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. - **Files touched:** .tangle-solve-run.json - **Network endpoints:** drew-gtr-pro.taild10bfc.ts.net ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 78.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @tangle-network/sandbox-cli@0.21.53. - Review the evidence and your use of @tangle-network/sandbox-cli@0.21.53 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.
