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 resolver's environment-token fallback is not scoped to the request host, and the downloader forwards that authorization to the metadata-provided tarball URL. This creates a credential exposure risk when package metadata points to a foreign host, so the package should be warned on rather than blocked as clearly malicious. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-03T04:28:09.330Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-03T04:29:22.663Z - **Download time:** 763 ms - **Static scan time:** 4033 ms - **AI review time:** 68537 ms - **Total time:** 73333 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:** Potential npm credential forwarding to a metadata-selected tarball host. - **Trigger:** A user runs a command that resolves an npm package while an npm token is available. - **Impact:** A registry response that names a foreign tarball host could cause the user's npm token to be sent there. - **Evidence paths:** dist/bin.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-03T04:29:22.663Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The resolver may attach an environment token to a metadata-provided tarball URL without verifying that its host matches the configured registry. - **Rationale:** The resolver's environment-token fallback is not scoped to the request host, and the downloader forwards that authorization to the metadata-provided tarball URL. This creates a credential exposure risk when package metadata points to a foreign host, so the package should be warned on rather than blocked as clearly malicious. - **Files touched:** dist/bin.js - **Network endpoints:** https://registry.npmjs.org (default registry), Registry-configured npm metadata URL, Tarball URL host supplied by npm metadata ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 87.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Critical Vulnerability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The npm authorization resolver can fall back to NPM\_TOKEN, NPM\_AUTH\_TOKEN, or MANO\_NPM\_AUTH\_TOKEN without checking the requested URL's host., The resolver obtains authorization for the tarball URL supplied in npm package metadata., The downloader sends the resulting authorization header to that tarball URL. - **Evidence against:** The package identifies itself as a CLI and exposes a command-line entry point., The credential flow is reached during npm package resolution, rather than through an install hook or import-time collection. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to mano-coding@0.1.64. - Review the evidence and your use of mano-coding@0.1.64 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.
