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 runtime exposes an import endpoint that authenticates to the local PeerTube API with package-embedded administrator credentials. No external exfiltration endpoint was found in the active server flow. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 95.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-28T00:02:41.655Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-28T00:03:42.861Z - **Download time:** 250 ms - **Static scan time:** 147 ms - **AI review time:** 60807 ms - **Total time:** 61206 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:** The runtime exposes an import endpoint that authenticates to the local PeerTube API with package-embedded administrator credentials. No external exfiltration endpoint was found in the active server flow. - **Trigger:** A request to the plugin's import route. - **Impact:** A requester may cause privileged video imports on the hosting PeerTube instance without supplying administrator credentials. - **Evidence paths:** main.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-28T00:03:42.861Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The route obtains an administrator access token through a password grant and uses it for a local video-import request. - **Rationale:** The package contains a concrete privileged-operation path backed by embedded administrator credentials, but the inspected code does not establish malware behavior or external credential exfiltration. - **Files touched:** main.js, package.json - **Network endpoints:** 127.0.0.1:9000 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Critical Vulnerability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The manifest loads main.js as the package entrypoint., The active server module obtains local OAuth client data and builds a password-grant request using embedded administrator credentials., An unauthenticated plugin import route invokes that administrator-token routine before submitting a PeerTube import. - **Evidence against:** No install lifecycle scripts are declared., The inspected server requests target the local PeerTube API rather than an external recipient. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to peertube-plugin-yaktube-ondemand@1.5.0. - Review the evidence and your use of peertube-plugin-yaktube-ondemand@1.5.0 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.
