GitHub operations use the supplied PAT against GitHub. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-31T22:47:09.605Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-31T22:47:57.218Z - **Download time:** 255 ms - **Static scan time:** 333 ms - **AI review time:** 47024 ms - **Total time:** 47613 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** An explicitly run client grants its connected orchestration server arbitrary shell execution and unrestricted file read/write on the host. GitHub operations use the supplied PAT against GitHub. - **Trigger:** User runs the tool-server binary or imports its main entrypoint with runtime arguments. - **Impact:** A compromised or untrusted configured server can execute commands, persist processes, and access or alter host files. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/tool-server.js, dist/toolExecutionService.js, dist/Services/EditTool.js, dist/githubOperationsHanlder.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-31T22:47:57.218Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote Socket.IO command, file, and GitHub-operation dispatcher. - **Rationale:** Source confirms a real, powerful remote-code-execution surface controlled by the configured orchestration server. It is package-aligned and user-invoked rather than covert install-time malware, so warn rather than block. - **Files touched:** dist/tool-server.js, dist/toolExecutionService.js, dist/Services/EditTool.js, dist/Services/ReadFileTool.js, dist/githubOperationsHanlder.js - **Network endpoints:** https://api.github.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** dist/tool-server.js accepts Socket.IO requests from a caller-supplied SERVER\_URL., dist/toolExecutionService.js passes remote command strings to bash -lc and supports detached background processes., dist/tool-server.js forwards remote read/edit requests using caller-controlled absolute paths., dist/Services/EditTool.js writes requested paths without a workspace boundary., dist/githubOperationsHanlder.js runs sudo git commands and uses the supplied GitHub PAT. - **Evidence against:** package.json has only prepare: tsc; no preinstall/install/postinstall hook., The remote endpoint is supplied as a runtime argument; no hard-coded non-GitHub destination was found., The package describes and implements a self-hosted orchestration client, with no hidden payload or credential-exfiltration path found. ## Public findings ### 1.
