Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: manual review; recommendation: manual review. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The inspected server bundle contains a Mesh LLM proxy that forwards incoming request headers to a configured or default remote host. The credential’s scope and the effective caller configuration were not established well enough to confirm an attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Manual Review - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 68.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-07T21:07:54.292Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-07T21:10:02.718Z - **Download time:** 2287 ms - **Static scan time:** 38511 ms - **AI review time:** 87627 ms - **Total time:** 128426 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 inspected server bundle contains a Mesh LLM proxy that forwards incoming request headers to a configured or default remote host. The credential’s scope and the effective caller configuration were not established well enough to confirm an attack. - **Trigger:** A client submits a chat completion through the Mesh LLM proxy route. - **Impact:** A credential in the forwarded headers could reach the selected host; the inspected sources do not establish whether that credential is intended for that Mesh LLM destination. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-07T21:10:02.718Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The proxy selects the host from a request header, an environment setting, or its default, then forwards incoming headers with the request. - **Rationale:** The source confirms configurable forwarding of authorization headers through the Mesh LLM proxy, but does not establish the forwarded credential’s origin, intended recipient, or effective caller settings. The inspected scanner hits in the test and documentation-copy locations do not establish malicious behavior; the unresolved credential flow warrants manual review. - **Network endpoints:** https://public.meshllm.cloud ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 68.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** The manifest exposes CLI binaries and shows no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook in the inspected scripts., The two flagged CLI bundle locations copy documentation assets into the build output., The flagged test evaluates a bridge script inside a jsdom test setup., The version helper invokes npm only when its built CLI target is missing., The flagged server bundle forwards request headers to a default or header-selected Mesh LLM host; the credential’s intended scope is unclear., The agent command accepts an explicitly supplied API key or reads provider-related environment and stored configuration. - **Evidence against:** The manifest identifies a dedicated Mesh LLM provider and local proxy endpoint., No source inspected confirms that the forwarded authorization value is a credential for an unrelated service. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to shadow-claw@1.35.0. - Review the evidence and your use of shadow-claw@1.35.0 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.
