## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — The broker receives the saved Google refresh token, which can enable access to the associated account.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Credential Exfiltration
- **Selected version:** 0.1.48
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions.

AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

Source inspection confirms that ordinary Google grant refresh can send a saved refresh token to a package-selected broker without recipient-specific consent. This is concrete credential exfiltration behavior.

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 runtime sends a saved Google refresh token to a Zortex-selected OAuth broker during grant refresh. This is an active credential transfer to a recipient the user did not select for that token.

- **Trigger:** A Google grant refresh during startup or runtime.

- **Impact:** The broker receives the saved Google refresh token, which can enable access to the associated account.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/zortex.js, dist/indrad-main.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-23T02:01:58.423Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** When no OAuth client secret is present, the refresh helper posts the saved refresh token and compiled client ID to the Zortex broker.

- **Attack narrative:** The package’s \`zortex\` launcher starts its bundled runtime. During Google grant refresh, the runtime uses a Zortex-selected broker when no client secret is configured and sends the saved refresh token in a POST body. The source wires this refresh operation into grant processing and startup. This exposes the account credential to a recipient the user did not select for that token.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms that ordinary Google grant refresh can send a saved refresh token to a package-selected broker without recipient-specific consent. This is concrete credential exfiltration behavior.

- **Network endpoints:** https://zortex-google-oauth.google-oauth-broker.workers.dev/google/refresh

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 98.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for block:** The package exposes the \`zortex\` command through \`bin/zortex.js\`., The launcher starts the packaged runtime bundle., Without a configured OAuth client secret, the Google refresh helper selects the Zortex OAuth broker and puts the saved refresh token in the request body., The helper sends that body in a POST request., Google refresh is wired into grant refresh and startup processing.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @zortexhq/install@0.1.48.

- Avoid installing @zortexhq/install@0.1.48. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies.
- Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe.
- If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment.
