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 refresh token recipient is operator-configurable and is not checked against the credential’s original issuer, leaving a conditional exposure risk. The default issuer is expected, and the source does not show covert redirection, so this supports a warning rather than a block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 83.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-22T05:04:53.974Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-22T05:07:18.436Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 3062 ms - **AI review time:** 140888 ms - **Total time:** 144462 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:** Saved OAuth refresh tokens can be sent to an issuer selected through configuration. This creates a conditional credential exposure risk when that issuer differs from the one that issued the saved token; the source does not establish a package-selected malicious recipient. - **Trigger:** A runtime request or model-discovery operation refreshes a saved credential, and the active issuer has been overridden. - **Impact:** A configured alternate issuer could receive a saved refresh token and potentially use it to obtain credentials. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli.mjs, dist/index.js, dist/chunk-6CR3K3FL.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-22T05:07:18.436Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The refresh request posts the stored refresh token to the active issuer’s /oauth/token endpoint without checking that the issuer matches the credential’s original service. - **Rationale:** The refresh token recipient is operator-configurable and is not checked against the credential’s original issuer, leaving a conditional exposure risk. The default issuer is expected, and the source does not show covert redirection, so this supports a warning rather than a block. - **Network endpoints:** https://auth.openai.com/oauth/token ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 83.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The CLI defaults its OAuth issuer to auth.openai.com, but also accepts an issuer from the AI\_AUTHER\_ISSUER environment variable or its config file., When a saved credential needs refreshing, the code sends its refresh token to the active issuer’s /oauth/token endpoint., Runtime request, credential, and model-discovery paths can invoke token refresh; the recipient is not bound to the issuer that originally issued the saved token., The manifest lists prepublishOnly build and verification commands, not an install hook. - **Evidence against:** The default OAuth issuer is the expected auth.openai.com host, and the alternate issuer comes from operator-controlled configuration., The reviewed source does not establish a package-selected unrelated default recipient or a hidden install-time credential transfer. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to open-auther@1.2.2. - Review the evidence and your use of open-auther@1.2.2 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.
