Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package is a Tangle Sandbox CLI with no install lifecycle hook. The flagged router credential flow belongs to its explicit supervision functionality and targets the Tangle router; the source reviewed did not show unrelated credential exfiltration or concealed automatic execution. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-30T10:31:39.549Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-30T10:32:35.819Z - **Download time:** 1039 ms - **Static scan time:** 644 ms - **AI review time:** 54587 ms - **Total time:** 56270 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:** No attack was identified; the package provides a command-line client for Tangle Sandbox operations. - **Trigger:** The CLI runs when invoked; router access occurs as part of an explicit supervision command. - **Impact:** Expected CLI and service behavior; no evidence of unrelated credential collection, exfiltration, or hidden install-time actions. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-30T10:32:35.819Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The supervisor uses the Tangle router and passes its Tangle API key for the requested service operation. The package also stores profile credentials and configuration locally. - **Rationale:** The package is a Tangle Sandbox CLI with no install lifecycle hook. The flagged router credential flow belongs to its explicit supervision functionality and targets the Tangle router; the source reviewed did not show unrelated credential exfiltration or concealed automatic execution. - **Files touched:** ~/.tangle/credentials.json, ~/.tangle/config.json - **Network endpoints:** https://router.tangle.tools/v1 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest identifies this as the Tangle Sandbox CLI and exposes its \`tangle\` command; its scripts contain no install lifecycle hook., The CLI’s supervisor path uses \`https://router.tangle.tools/v1\` by default and passes the Tangle API key to that router for supervision., The bundled entrypoint parses command-line arguments to run the CLI. - **Evidence against:** The manifest pins \`cli-bridge\` to a specific GitHub archive commit; the unusual tarball dependency is not evidence of malicious behavior by itself., The credential file handling is for the CLI’s own Tangle profiles and local configuration. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @tangle-network/sandbox-cli@0.21.8. - Review the evidence and your use of @tangle-network/sandbox-cli@0.21.8 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.
