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. Password login forwards the user's password to a fixed vendor proxy by default, with no explicit proxy consent in the login flow. That is credential exfiltration to an additional host, even though the user initiated sign-in. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-29T06:19:28.934Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-29T06:20:28.304Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 2033 ms - **AI review time:** 56825 ms - **Total time:** 59370 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:** Password-login credentials are sent through a vendor authentication proxy by default. - **Trigger:** A user selects password login in the desktop or CLI flow. - **Impact:** The proxy receives the user's account password, exposing a credential belonging to the authentication service to an additional host without explicit proxy opt-in. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli/src/commands/sign-in.js, dist/cli/src/commands/desktop.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-29T06:20:28.304Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The email and password are placed in an authentication grant and POSTed to the fixed itool.tech endpoint unless the user has set LINKSHELL\_TOKEN\_PROXY=off. - **Attack narrative:** When a user chooses password login, the package builds a grant containing the email and password. It sends that grant to the fixed itool.tech authentication proxy by default; the opt-out requires a separate environment setting. This exposes the user's authentication credential to an additional host beyond the account's authentication service. - **Rationale:** Password login forwards the user's password to a fixed vendor proxy by default, with no explicit proxy consent in the login flow. That is credential exfiltration to an additional host, even though the user initiated sign-in. - **Network endpoints:** https://itool.tech/api/linkshell/auth ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** Password login places the user's email and password in a grant passed to the exchange routine., The exchange routine POSTs the grant to the fixed itool.tech authentication proxy., The proxy is used by default; only setting LINKSHELL\_TOKEN\_PROXY=off skips it. - **Evidence against:** The login flow is triggered by a user choosing password login., The postinstall hook only adjusts node-pty helper permissions locally; it does not contact a network host. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to linkshell-cli@0.10.78. - Avoid installing linkshell-cli@0.10.78. 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.
