This creates a concrete credential-exposure capability without a per-upload consent prompt. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-10T01:02:57.609Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-10T01:04:07.114Z - **Download time:** 1267 ms - **Static scan time:** 1407 ms - **AI review time:** 66828 ms - **Total time:** 69505 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Explicit cloud commands package local repository data and a broad default set of home credentials, then upload the archive to Rudder Cloud. This creates a concrete credential-exposure capability without a per-upload consent prompt. - **Trigger:** User runs rudder cloud, rudder sail, or cloud workspace attachment commands. - **Impact:** Cloud control-plane compromise or misuse could expose agent, SCM, cloud, and API credentials. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, dist/cloud.js, dist/auth.js, dist/codex-binary.js, dist/version-check.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-10T01:04:07.114Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Stages allowlisted credential files, Keychain data, and token-like environment variables into a cloud snapshot. - **Rationale:** The package is not malicious by static source evidence, but it has a concrete, broad credential-upload capability gated only by user cloud commands. Its postinstall also performs unprompted external tool installation. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/.credentials.json, ~/.codex/auth.json, ~/.config/gh, ~/.aws/credentials, ~/.netrc, ~/.rudder/auth-profiles.json, ~/.rudder/cloud.json - **Network endpoints:** https://rudder-cloud-control.fly.dev, https://github.com/login/device/code, https://github.com/login/oauth/access\_token ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** dist/cloud.js: DEFAULT\_HOME\_PATHS includes Claude, Codex, GitHub, cloud, shell, and provider credential paths., dist/cloud.js: cloud launch stages those paths plus token-like environment variables into an archive and POSTs it to the control plane., dist/cloud.js: macOS cloud snapshot path reads the Claude Keychain credential and includes it without a per-snapshot confirmation., scripts/postinstall.mjs automatically invokes brew or cargo to install jj when absent. - **Evidence against:** Credential collection/upload is reached through explicit rudder cloud/sail/workspace commands, not import or postinstall., Cloud endpoints and snapshot behavior are product-aligned and source comments disclose their workspace purpose., No source evidence of hidden endpoint, obfuscated payload, foreign AI-agent config mutation, or install-time credential exfiltration. ## Public findings ### 1.
