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. Runtime exception handling posts exception text, host details, and the configured licence key to an external telemetry service. Opaque native and JVM artifacts expand the unreviewable runtime surface. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-11T09:04:46.456Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-11T09:07:21.624Z - **Download time:** 1270 ms - **Static scan time:** 506 ms - **AI review time:** 153391 ms - **Total time:** 155168 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

Opaque native and JVM artifacts expand the unreviewable runtime surface. - **Trigger:** An SDK exception occurs during runtime. - **Impact:** A licence key, hostname, operating-system details, and exception contents can be disclosed externally. - **Evidence paths:** Binaries/Python/hypertube/utils/messageHelper/MessageHelper.py, Binaries/Python/hypertube/utils/exception/ExceptionThrower.py - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-11T09:07:21.624Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Telemetry-based licence and error-data exfiltration. - **Attack narrative:** When the bundled SDK processes an exception, it calls its telemetry helper. The helper builds a request containing the exception message, host name, operating system, calling runtime, and licence key, then posts it to an Azure Application Insights endpoint. This is an unconsented disclosure of a credential-like value and runtime data. The package also ships opaque native and JVM binaries, so their behaviour cannot reduce that demonstrated source-level risk. - **Rationale:** Visible source establishes automatic external transmission of licence and exception data. This is concrete data exfiltration, independent of the opaque binary components. - **Files touched:** Binaries/Python/hypertube/utils/messageHelper/MessageHelper.py, Binaries/Python/hypertube/utils/exception/ExceptionThrower.py - **Network endpoints:** https://polandcentral-0.in.applicationinsights.azure.com/v2/track ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The bundled Python runtime sends an event containing the host name, operating system, licence key, and supplied message to an external telemetry endpoint., SDK exception handling automatically invokes that telemetry sender, so exception text is also transmitted., The package contains opaque native and JVM binary components, limiting independent review of runtime behaviour. - **Evidence against:** The install hook only selects a prebuilt addon or invokes local node-gyp; no download or telemetry action was found in that hook., The visible telemetry call is in runtime exception handling, not install-time code. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to hypertube-binaries@3.1.13. - Avoid installing hypertube-binaries@3.1.13. 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.
