Firewall keeps the version blocked under its trusted-intelligence policy. An AI recommendation to allow or warn does not override that advisory. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. An explicit function call contacts a hard-coded remote host, then can delete all files and directories under its target. The remote service decides whether deletion is allowed. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-09T07:39:38.033Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-09T07:40:04.232Z - **Download time:** 261 ms - **Static scan time:** 16 ms - **AI review time:** 25921 ms - **Total time:** 26199 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:** An explicit function call contacts a hard-coded remote host, then can delete all files and directories under its target. The remote service decides whether deletion is allowed. - **Trigger:** A consumer calls triggerCleanup(), with the current working directory used by default. - **Impact:** Loss of the target directory's contents. - **Evidence paths:** index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-09T07:40:04.232Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote-authorized recursive directory deletion. - **Rationale:** This is a real destructive, remotely controlled capability, but it has no install hook and requires an explicit consumer call. It warrants a warning rather than a publication block. - **Network endpoints:** https://testback-2aqe.onrender.com/can-cleanup ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** A remote response controls whether cleanup proceeds., Authorized cleanup recursively removes every entry in the supplied directory., The default target is the caller's current working directory. - **Evidence against:** There are no npm lifecycle scripts., Deletion occurs only when a caller invokes the exported triggerCleanup function. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to server-authorized-cleanup@1.1.0. - Avoid installing server-authorized-cleanup@1.1.0. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
