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. This is an explicit user-invoked agent configuration tool that persists a credential redirect to its own default service. It warrants a warning for AI-agent capability abuse, not a block, because no unconsented lifecycle mutation or concrete malicious chain was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-28T07:26:16.204Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-28T07:27:27.621Z - **Download time:** 511 ms - **Static scan time:** 485 ms - **AI review time:** 70420 ms - **Total time:** 71417 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:** The CLI can redirect selected local coding agents to the ZAN service and store a supplied API key in their configuration. This occurs only through an explicit setup command followed by confirmation. - **Trigger:** A user runs zan-router setup or an agent-specific setup command and confirms the plan. - **Impact:** Selected agents may send future model requests to the ZAN endpoint using the supplied credential. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/cli.js, dist/chunk-PQHNQ4Z4.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-28T07:27:27.621Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Credential verification and persistent agent-provider configuration. - **Rationale:** This is an explicit user-invoked agent configuration tool that persists a credential redirect to its own default service. It warrants a warning for AI-agent capability abuse, not a block, because no unconsented lifecycle mutation or concrete malicious chain was found. - **Files touched:** ~/.claude/settings.json, $CODEX\_HOME/config.toml, $CODEX\_HOME/zan.config.toml, $CODEX\_HOME/zan-model-catalog.json, ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json, ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json, ~/.neovate/config.json, $HERMES\_HOME/config.yaml, $HERMES\_HOME/.env - **Network endpoints:** https://ai.zan.top, https://ai.zan.top/v1/responses, https://ai.zan.top/v1/chat/completions, https://ai.zan.top/v1/messages ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The explicit setup command verifies a supplied API key by sending it as an authorization header., After a confirmation prompt, setup configures selected third-party coding agents with the ZAN endpoint and credential., The default endpoint is https://ai.zan.top, and the package targets several local agent configuration files. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., Configuration changes require an explicit CLI subcommand and a confirmation step., No remote code loading, shell download, or unrelated credential harvesting was found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @zan\_team/zan-router@1.0.1. - Review the evidence and your use of @zan\_team/zan-router@1.0.1 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.
