This report does not record a matching static-policy override reason. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. No install-time mutation or hidden steal-and-send path is present. After the user runs the THENUX CLI, product keys go to the package default model API and GitHub tokens go to GitHub. Scanner hits for environment access, network, and shell are the documented agent, not a separate attack chain. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 76.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-19T10:46:40.054Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-19T10:51:16.692Z - **Download time:** 520 ms - **Static scan time:** 797 ms - **AI review time:** 275320 ms - **Total time:** 276638 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 install-time mutation or hidden steal-and-send path is present. After the user runs the THENUX CLI, product keys go to the package default model API and GitHub tokens go to GitHub. Scanner hits for environment access, network, and shell are the documented agent, not a separate attack chain. - **Trigger:** The user installs the package and runs the thenux or thenux-cli command. - **Impact:** No confirmed covert credential theft or unconsented install-time compromise. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-19T10:51:16.692Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** User-invoked coding agent talking to its own THENUX API - **Rationale:** Inspected source is a user-run THENUX coding CLI: no registry install hooks, THENUX-format keys sent to the package default Worker API, and GitHub tokens used only against api.github.com. Scanner exfiltration and malware-similarity labels follow that dual-use agent plus network pattern, not a hidden harvest chain. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 76.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Final policy explanation:** The AI recommended clean, but the final policy action is warn. This report does not record a matching static-policy override reason. - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook; the only lifecycle script is prepublishOnly running a local build., The published bins thenux and thenux-cli point at dist/index.js and start only through commander parsing of process.argv., The default model host is the package-owned Worker URL, and chat calls send the THENUX API key to that same baseUrl stream endpoint., Interactive login rejects keys that do not start with tnx\_ and treats them as THENUX product keys, then stores auth under ~/.thenux/auth.json., GitHub tokens from env, gh, or a user prompt are used against api.github.com, not the model gateway., Agent file reads ignore .env and key material; shell and network use match an explicit autonomous coding CLI. - **Evidence against:** Static fingerprinting labeled the bundle similar to a previously blocked package., The README portal host is api.thenuxofc.store while the runtime default API is a workers.dev subdomain., The bundle embeds a default THENUX API key used when the user has not logged in. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to thenux-cli@1.0.1. - Review the evidence and your use of thenux-cli@1.0.1 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.
