## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 16 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Remote Code Execution
- **Selected version:** 13.8.56
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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 a Koa CMS, not an install-time malware dropper, but the default router evaluates request-body include strings with Function and exposes raw SQL on an allowlisted common route. Those are critical runtime flaws, and the scanner's remote-response-to-eval label is a mismatch because axios results are stored as data.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 82.0%
- **Started:** 2026-09-18T03:05:41.380Z

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:** A running q-koa server evaluates client-supplied include strings with Function and can execute posted SQL. Default JWT rules leave find, common, and system/initData reachable without a valid token. Error logs may also be sent to api.day.app unless the app overrides the log URL.

- **Trigger:** The consumer starts the Koa app, then a client sends HTTP requests to those routes.

- **Impact:** Remote code execution and arbitrary database queries on the host that runs this framework

- **Evidence paths:** core/app.js, core/config.js, core/file/plugins/system/service.js, core/file/plugins/system/controller.js, core/file/plugins/common/controller.js, core/file/plugins/log/service.js

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** Unauthenticated request-body code and SQL execution in the default router

- **Rationale:** This is a Koa CMS, not an install-time malware dropper, but the default router evaluates request-body include strings with Function and exposes raw SQL on an allowlisted common route. Those are critical runtime flaws, and the scanner's remote-response-to-eval label is a mismatch because axios results are stored as data.

- **Network endpoints:** https://api.day.app

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 82.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Critical Vulnerability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The main router wraps request include and relate strings in eval and runs them with Function., Default JWT allowlists find, common, and system/initData, and GET requests skip token checks., The common/sql handler runs arbitrary SQL from the POST body., Unless the app overrides it, error logs are pushed to a hardcoded Bark host on api.day.app.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hooks; index.js only checks the Node version and exports the app class., The tree is a large Koa CMS with WeChat, Douyin, Alipay, and similar plugins; network hosts match those products., No child\_process, obfuscation, or a package.json self-dependency that installs another q-koa release., Function/eval is used to build Sequelize include callbacks, matching nearby toFunction comments, not a hidden install payload.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to q-koa@13.8.56.

- Review the evidence and your use of q-koa@13.8.56 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.
