Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The source traces a configured Kubernetes token from registry configuration into an authenticated request whose CA branch uses a package-selected hardcoded host. This is a concrete credential disclosure path and warrants blocking. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-19T22:43:53.761Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-19T22:44:50.098Z - **Download time:** 1026 ms - **Static scan time:** 1801 ms - **AI review time:** 53510 ms - **Total time:** 56337 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:** A Kubernetes registry path can expose a configured cluster bearer token to http://server.com. The driver substitutes this hardcoded destination when CA configuration is present. - **Trigger:** A runtime registry load uses Kubernetes configuration with a token, URL, and CA settings, then requests node data. - **Impact:** The token may be disclosed to an unrelated remote host, exposing access to the Kubernetes cluster. - **Evidence paths:** modules/registry/mongo.js, modules/driver/kubernetes/model/index.js, modules/driver/kubernetes/bl/get.js, modules/driver/kubernetes/model/node.js, modules/driver/kubernetes/model/clients/node.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-19T22:44:50.098Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CA branch builds its Kubernetes client from a hardcoded server and assigns the configured token as bearer authentication when request options contain no auth. - **Attack narrative:** When registry configuration includes a Kubernetes token, URL, and CA settings, the registry invokes the node lookup. In the CA branch, the driver builds its client using the hardcoded http://server.com host and supplies the configured token as bearer authentication when no auth is already set. The subsequent node API request can therefore disclose the cluster token to that host. - **Rationale:** The source traces a configured Kubernetes token from registry configuration into an authenticated request whose CA branch uses a package-selected hardcoded host. This is a concrete credential disclosure path and warrants blocking. - **Files touched:** modules/registry/mongo.js, modules/driver/kubernetes/model/index.js, modules/driver/kubernetes/bl/get.js, modules/driver/kubernetes/model/node.js, modules/driver/kubernetes/model/clients/node.js - **Network endpoints:** http://server.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** Registry loading passes a stored Kubernetes token, URL, and CA configuration into the node lookup path., When CA configuration is present, the Kubernetes driver uses a hardcoded server at http://server.com instead of the configured cluster URL., If the CA request options have no authentication, the driver sets the stored token as the bearer credential., The registry node lookup calls the Kubernetes node API, completing the path that sends requests using the configured authentication., The manifest lists a test script, with no install lifecycle hook; the identified exposure is in runtime behavior. - **Evidence against:** The exposure requires runtime use of the Kubernetes registry path with CA configuration; the ordinary non-CA branch uses the configured URL., The package manifest has no install lifecycle hook. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to soajs.controller@4.3.20. - Avoid installing soajs.controller@4.3.20. 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.
