Remote callers can query or modify JSON databases in its data directory. - **Trigger:** Application calls new WebUI().start() without overriding host or adding network controls. - **Impact:** Remote network clients may read, alter, or delete database data. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.js, index.js, lib/web\_ui.js, lib/mod.js, lib/client.js, lib/sqlite\_worker.js, nativesrc/jsql-neo-native/src/lib.rs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-09T11:54:28.581Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Unauthenticated network-exposed SQL console - **Rationale:** No credential harvesting, third-party exfiltration, remote payload retrieval, or covert install-time persistence was found. The package has a real, user-triggered unauthenticated network/destructive capability that warrants a warning. - **Files touched:** lib/web\_ui.js, ./\*.json - **Network endpoints:** 0.0.0.0:8080 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Critical Vulnerability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** lib/web\_ui.js: WebUI defaults to host 0.0.0.0:8080 with no authentication., lib/web\_ui.js: unauthenticated POST /api/query executes SQL against project JSON databases., lib/web\_ui.js: API responses allow Access-Control-Allow-Origin: \*. - **Evidence against:** postinstall.js only chmods its packaged server binary when present., The conditional Cargo build targets an absent sibling path; no download or exfiltration code., Runtime HTTP client uses caller-selected host/port; no third-party endpoint found., Dynamic module loading requires explicit jsql mod add/enable user action. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to jsql-neo@5.0.1. - Review the evidence and your use of jsql-neo@5.0.1 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
