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 bundle reuses an npm authorization header for a tarball URL supplied by registry metadata without an apparent host check. This is a credential-handling risk in a user-invoked resolver, so it warrants a warning rather than a malicious verdict. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-31T11:38:53.422Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-31T11:40:11.942Z - **Download time:** 517 ms - **Static scan time:** 3961 ms - **AI review time:** 74041 ms - **Total time:** 78520 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:** Dependency resolution can forward an npm environment token to a tarball host supplied by registry metadata. - **Trigger:** A user invokes a command that resolves a package, and the registry metadata provides a tarball URL on another host. - **Impact:** An untrusted or compromised registry response could cause an npm token to be disclosed to a foreign tarball server. - **Evidence paths:** dist/bin.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T11:40:11.942Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The resolver obtains authorization for the metadata request, stores it with the release source, then reuses it in the tarball request without an apparent destination-host check. - **Rationale:** The bundle reuses an npm authorization header for a tarball URL supplied by registry metadata without an apparent host check. This is a credential-handling risk in a user-invoked resolver, so it warrants a warning rather than a malicious verdict. - **Files touched:** dist/bin.js - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org/, Configured registry URL (source.registry); metadata-provided tarballUrl ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The resolver can use NPM\_TOKEN or NPM\_AUTH\_TOKEN as authorization when resolving a package., It carries the authorization header used for registry metadata into the release source alongside the metadata-provided tarball URL., The tarball download sends that carried header to tarballUrl without a visible check that its host matches the registry host. - **Evidence against:** The credential flow is in dependency resolution and requires a resolver command and metadata that supplies a tarball URL., The npmrc credential lookup matches configured credentials to the request host; the identified risk is the generic environment-token fallback and subsequent forwarding. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to mano-coding@0.1.57. - Review the evidence and your use of mano-coding@0.1.57 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.
