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. This is not an npm lifecycle malware chain, but the CLI automatically uploads third-party credentials collected during BYO setup. Warn rather than block because activation requires explicit user CLI commands and the behavior is presented as team credential synchronization. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-16T12:31:56.028Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-16T12:33:08.952Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 4024 ms - **AI review time:** 68389 ms - **Total time:** 72924 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:** Explicit CLI setup can collect third-party provider credentials and upload them to Postboi for team synchronization. The upload occurs automatically after credential entry rather than through a dedicated consent prompt. - **Trigger:** User runs \`postboi init\` and selects/configures a provider, or runs \`postboi env push\`. - **Impact:** Third-party API keys and messaging credentials may be disclosed to the Postboi service and later pulled into project env files. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/cli.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-16T12:33:08.952Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Collects project/provider secrets and sends them to a Postboi API credential store. - **Rationale:** This is not an npm lifecycle malware chain, but the CLI automatically uploads third-party credentials collected during BYO setup. Warn rather than block because activation requires explicit user CLI commands and the behavior is presented as team credential synchronization. - **Files touched:** .env, .env.local, .envrc, .dev.vars, .gitignore, postboi.config.ts, postboi.config.mts, postboi.config.js, postboi.config.mjs - **Network endpoints:** https://postboi.app/v1/env ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The CLI collects provider fields marked secret, then automatically calls credential synchronization during setup., Credential synchronization PUTs the collected variables to the Postboi API endpoint., \`postboi env push\` reads recognized credentials from project env files and uploads them., The package advertises that \`postboi init\` pushes credentials as it collects them. - **Evidence against:** The manifest's only lifecycle hook runs \`svelte-kit sync\`; it does not invoke the CLI., Credential collection/upload is reached through explicit CLI \`init\` or \`env\` commands, not import-time execution., No hidden shell payload, browser credential-store harvesting, or install-time network execution was found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to postboi@0.31.0. - Review the evidence and your use of postboi@0.31.0 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.
