Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package is a coding CLI, but its npm resolver forwards a globally sourced environment token to metadata-supplied tarball hosts without checking that the host matches the registry. This is a real credential disclosure risk, though it depends on a user-run resolution flow and external metadata, so it warrants a warning rather than a block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-31T11:36:47.605Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-31T11:38:01.800Z - **Download time:** 501 ms - **Static scan time:** 3363 ms - **AI review time:** 70330 ms - **Total time:** 74195 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 npm environment token can be sent to a metadata-supplied tarball host during package resolution. - **Trigger:** A user runs a CLI operation that resolves an npm package while an NPM\_TOKEN, NPM\_AUTH\_TOKEN, or MANO\_NPM\_AUTH\_TOKEN is set, and the registry metadata supplies a tarball URL on another host. - **Impact:** A registry response or package metadata source that supplies an external tarball URL can cause the npm token to be disclosed to that host. - **Evidence paths:** dist/bin.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T11:38:01.800Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The environment-token fallback does not restrict the token to the npm registry host. The resolver associates that token with the metadata-supplied tarball URL, and the loader sends it in the tarball request's Authorization header. - **Rationale:** The package is a coding CLI, but its npm resolver forwards a globally sourced environment token to metadata-supplied tarball hosts without checking that the host matches the registry. This is a real credential disclosure risk, though it depends on a user-run resolution flow and external metadata, so it warrants a warning rather than a block. - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org (default registry), Metadata-supplied dist.tarball URL (host is not constrained) ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Critical Vulnerability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The resolver falls back to NPM\_TOKEN, NPM\_AUTH\_TOKEN, or MANO\_NPM\_AUTH\_TOKEN and turns the value into a bearer authorization header., The resolver obtains the tarball URL from npm metadata and resolves authorization for that URL., The package loader forwards the resulting authorization header when fetching the tarball URL., The .npmrc credential lookup checks that the configured credential host matches the request host, but the environment-token fallback has no equivalent host check. - **Evidence against:** The manifest presents this as a coding CLI and exposes it through a command-line entry point., The credential flow runs as part of npm package resolution, a normal CLI function, and requires an environment token to be present., The .npmrc credential path is scoped to the requested host and path. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to mano-coding@0.1.49. - Review the evidence and your use of mano-coding@0.1.49 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.
