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. The package launcher runs the bundled app, whose default Google OAuth path transfers authentication material to a fixed broker rather than directly to Google. This is credential disclosure to a package-selected recipient without recipient-specific consent, supporting a publish block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-23T02:00:42.605Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-23T02:03:40.163Z - **Download time:** 3785 ms - **Static scan time:** 3440 ms - **AI review time:** 170332 ms - **Total time:** 177558 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:** Google OAuth enrollment sends authentication material to a fixed broker selected by the package. The default path has no recipient-specific consent gate. - **Trigger:** A user runs Google OAuth enrollment through the zortex command. - **Impact:** The broker receives material used to obtain and renew access to the user's Google account. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/zortex.js, dist/zortex.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-23T02:03:40.163Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The bundled app posts the Google authorization code and PKCE verifier to the broker, then posts stored refresh tokens there during refresh. - **Attack narrative:** During Google OAuth enrollment, the bundled app sends the authorization code and PKCE verifier to a package-selected broker. The refresh path also sends stored refresh tokens to that broker. The source shows no recipient-specific consent gate for these transfers. - **Rationale:** The package launcher runs the bundled app, whose default Google OAuth path transfers authentication material to a fixed broker rather than directly to Google. This is credential disclosure to a package-selected recipient without recipient-specific consent, supporting a publish block. - **Files touched:** dist/zortex.js - **Network endpoints:** https://zortex-google-oauth.google-oauth-broker.workers.dev/google/token, 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, whose launcher starts the bundled app through Bun., Google enrollment dispatches to an OAuth flow that uses the compiled shared client ID by default when no override is supplied., The default Google token exchange sends the authorization code and PKCE verifier to a fixed Zortex-branded broker., After acquiring the authorization code, enrollment calls the exchange function, which sends its payload in a POST request., The refresh path also sends the stored Google refresh token to that broker in a POST request. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @zortexhq/install@0.1.50. - Avoid installing @zortexhq/install@0.1.50. 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. ## Public findings ### 1.
