This is a credential-exposure risk, although it is not automatic at installation or import time. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-03T18:56:55.707Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-03T18:58:16.590Z - **Download time:** 1028 ms - **Static scan time:** 2050 ms - **AI review time:** 77804 ms - **Total time:** 80883 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Gasless payment and quote paths transmit a locally available signer private key to the hosted sponsor service. This is a credential-exposure risk, although it is not automatic at installation or import time. - **Trigger:** A caller invokes a gasless contract operation or payment quote using a signer that exposes its private key. - **Impact:** The service operator or an intercepted request could obtain the wallet private key and control its assets. - **Evidence paths:** dist/contract/index.js, dist/utils/constants.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-03T18:58:16.590Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Private key included in sponsor-service HTTP requests. - **Rationale:** The package is not an install-hook malware package, but runtime code explicitly exports wallet private keys to a remote service. That dangerous behavior warrants a warning despite being feature-associated and user-triggered. - **Network endpoints:** gateway.verified.network ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** Runtime code extracts a signer's private key and includes it in requests to the hosted sponsor service., The package ships a compressed Yarn install-state artifact and a JSON ABI artifact; neither is an executable package entry point., The manifest has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook. - **Evidence against:** The private-key transmission occurs only in user-invoked gasless-payment and quote methods., No child-process, filesystem-write, dynamic-code, or environment-harvesting code was found in shipped JavaScript., The network target is a fixed same-vendor sponsor endpoint, consistent with the SDK's payment feature. ## Public findings ### 1.
