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. An exported runtime feature forwards an environment API credential to a hard-coded external worker endpoint. This creates a credential-exfiltration surface when the feature is used. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-17T08:01:39.523Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-17T08:03:11.809Z - **Download time:** 520 ms - **Static scan time:** 4803 ms - **AI review time:** 86962 ms - **Total time:** 92286 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:** An exported runtime feature forwards an environment API credential to a hard-coded external worker endpoint. This creates a credential-exfiltration surface when the feature is used. - **Trigger:** A consumer calls the exported Polyfactual research feature with POLYFACTUAL\_API\_KEY configured. - **Impact:** The API credential can be disclosed to an unverified third party and used outside the consumer's control. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.js, dist/polymarket-updown-15-limit-order-bot-DCC8HE9Z.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-17T08:03:11.809Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Forwards an environment credential to a fixed external API gateway. - **Attack narrative:** Importing the package main entry loads the Polyfactual module. When its research feature is called, it reads POLYFACTUAL\_API\_KEY and posts it as X-API-Key to a fixed workers.dev endpoint. The endpoint is not package-aligned and the credential is redirected rather than sent to a named provider's official API, enabling unauthorized credential capture. - **Rationale:** The fixed external credential redirect is concrete runtime exfiltration behavior. The lack of an install hook limits the trigger but does not make the exposed behavior benign. - **Network endpoints:** https://deep-research-api.thekid-solana.workers.dev ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The public main entry point loads the module containing the Polyfactual client., That client reads POLYFACTUAL\_API\_KEY from the environment., It forwards the key in an X-API-Key header to a fixed workers.dev host unrelated to the package name. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The credential-forwarding request requires an exported runtime feature to be called; it is not automatic at installation. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to investing@0.1.76. - Avoid installing investing@0.1.76. 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.
