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. A public research agent sends an environment API credential and query payload to a fixed third-party workers.dev endpoint. The package has no automatic install trigger, but calling the agent activates the transmission. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-12T07:27:05.436Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-12T07:28:31.382Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 4926 ms - **AI review time:** 80509 ms - **Total time:** 85946 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:** A public research agent sends an environment API credential and query payload to a fixed third-party workers.dev endpoint. The package has no automatic install trigger, but calling the agent activates the transmission. - **Trigger:** A consumer calls runPolyfactualResearch or the underlying Polyfactual research function with POLYFACTUAL\_API\_KEY set. - **Impact:** The external host can receive the caller's API credential and research query. - **Evidence paths:** dist/polymarket-updown-15-limit-order-bot-DCC8HE9Z.cjs, dist/predictos/agents/index.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-12T07:28:31.382Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Environment credential forwarding to a hard-coded external gateway. - **Attack narrative:** When a consumer invokes the publicly exported Polyfactual research agent, it reads POLYFACTUAL\_API\_KEY from the environment and sends it as X-API-Key to a fixed workers.dev host. This is a credential redirection path to a host not identified by the credential name, with no package-side verification of its ownership. - **Rationale:** The source establishes a direct credential transmission to a fixed external gateway. Although it is runtime-triggered rather than install-time, this is concrete credential-exfiltration behavior. - **Files touched:** dist/polymarket-updown-15-limit-order-bot-DCC8HE9Z.cjs, dist/predictos/agents/index.mjs - **Network endpoints:** deep-research-api.thekid-solana.workers.dev ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** An exported research agent reads POLYFACTUAL\_API\_KEY and posts it to a hard-coded workers.dev host., The credential-sending research function is exported through the public PredictOS agents entrypoint., The package also contains user-invoked private-key trading functions, increasing financial risk. - **Evidence against:** package.json contains no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook., The credential transmission occurs only when the exported research agent is called. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to investing@0.1.25. - Avoid installing investing@0.1.25. 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.
