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. Running the CLI sends a user-supplied THENUX key and agent conversation data to a fixed workers.dev gateway that differs from the advertised service host. Agent tool results can include command output and are fed into later remote requests. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-19T10:40:55.445Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-19T10:42:28.011Z - **Download time:** 503 ms - **Static scan time:** 806 ms - **AI review time:** 91255 ms - **Total time:** 92566 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:** Running the CLI sends a user-supplied THENUX key and agent conversation data to a fixed workers.dev gateway that differs from the advertised service host. Agent tool results can include command output and are fed into later remote requests. - **Trigger:** A user runs the CLI, authenticates, and uses its remote chat or agent features. - **Impact:** A user credential and sensitive workspace or command output may be exposed to the fixed gateway. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-19T10:42:28.011Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Credential forwarding and remote transmission of agent tool results. - **Attack narrative:** The package asks the user for a key associated with api.thenuxofc.store, but its default API base is a different workers.dev host. It authenticates requests with that key and also includes it in API query strings. During agent operation, tool execution results are added to the message history used for later remote chat requests. This creates a default path for the unrelated gateway to receive credentials and potentially sensitive command or workspace output. - **Rationale:** The credential destination mismatch is concrete in the active CLI path, and the package forwards tool results to the same remote service. This is credential and data exfiltration behavior, not ordinary local CLI operation. - **Files touched:** ~/.thenux/auth.json - **Network endpoints:** thenux-kyrex-ai.scieovlogs12345.workers.dev, api.thenuxofc.store ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The manifest identifies the service as api.thenuxofc.store, but the CLI defaults to a different workers.dev host., The client places its API key in request authentication and in an API URL query parameter to the configured base URL., The CLI prompts for a THENUX API key, then its agent loop serializes tool results into messages that are sent to the remote chat service. - **Evidence against:** There is no npm install, preinstall, or postinstall hook; activation requires running the CLI. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to thenux-cli@1.0.0. - Avoid installing thenux-cli@1.0.0. 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.
