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. The inspected source does not support a malicious verdict, but the Kubernetes client can send a configured bearer token with TLS verification disabled when CA configuration is absent. This warrants a warning for the conditional transport risk. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 86.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-13T21:34:57.255Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-13T21:36:15.133Z - **Download time:** 1037 ms - **Static scan time:** 1763 ms - **AI review time:** 75077 ms - **Total time:** 77878 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:** No malicious behavior was identified. The Kubernetes client has a conditional transport risk because it can send a configured bearer token without verifying the API server's TLS certificate. - **Trigger:** A Kubernetes high availability service discovery lookup runs with deployment configuration that lacks a CA. - **Impact:** A network attacker able to intercept the connection could impersonate the API server and expose the token or alter the response. - **Evidence paths:** mw/awareness/index.js, mw/awareness/ha.js, modules/driver/kubernetes/model/lib.js, modules/driver/kubernetes/model/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-13T21:36:15.133Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The client sends the configured bearer token to the configured Kubernetes API URL while TLS verification is disabled. - **Rationale:** The inspected source does not support a malicious verdict, but the Kubernetes client can send a configured bearer token with TLS verification disabled when CA configuration is absent. This warrants a warning for the conditional transport risk. - **Files touched:** mw/awareness/index.js, mw/awareness/ha.js, modules/driver/kubernetes/model/lib.js, modules/driver/kubernetes/model/index.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The manifest contains only a test script and no install lifecycle hook; the entry point starts the controller service., In high availability mode, awareness uses the Kubernetes driver for service discovery., The driver takes the API URL, bearer token, and optional CA from deployment configuration., Without CA configuration, the client sends the bearer token with TLS verification disabled. - **Evidence against:** The Kubernetes URL and token come from deployment registry configuration, and the client is used for Kubernetes service discovery., The source shows no unrelated credential recipient or malicious install behavior. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to soajs.controller@4.3.17. - Review the evidence and your use of soajs.controller@4.3.17 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.
