Results, including command output and file contents, are returned to Aclade. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-08T00:37:45.078Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-08T00:38:14.853Z - **Download time:** 255 ms - **Static scan time:** 59 ms - **AI review time:** 29461 ms - **Total time:** 29775 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** An explicitly started, token-authenticated daemon accepts cloud-supplied tasks with shell execution, filesystem read/write, and recursive listing capabilities. Results, including command output and file contents, are returned to Aclade. - **Trigger:** User runs aclade-agent connect with a token. - **Impact:** A compromised or abusive Aclade backend/token can execute commands, alter files, and exfiltrate local data. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, src/index.ts, dist/index.js, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-08T00:38:14.853Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote task polling with arbitrary local command and filesystem capabilities. - **Rationale:** The package implements a powerful remote administration connector with concrete RCE and data-exfiltration capability. Its activation is explicit and documented, so the source supports a warning rather than a malicious-install block. - **Files touched:** package.json, ~/.aclade-agent.json, ~/.aclade-agent.log - **Network endpoints:** https://aclade.com, https://registry.npmjs.org/aclade-agent/latest ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** src/index.ts polls Aclade for tasks and posts task results., Remote execute\_bash runs task input through a shell., Remote read\_file and list\_directory\_recursive can collect local data., Remote write\_file can modify arbitrary task-supplied paths., Daemon mode persists after explicit CLI execution and auto-updates globally. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no install lifecycle hooks., README.md documents the explicit token-based connector and its remote task role., Network target is package-aligned aclade.com; no hidden exfiltration path found. ## Public findings ### 1.
