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. Invoking the CLI uses a default workers.dev endpoint and forwards its API credential in request headers. This is a concrete credential exposure to a host outside the stated THENUX domain. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-20T04:56:58.477Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-20T05:06:20.561Z - **Download time:** 250 ms - **Static scan time:** 912 ms - **AI review time:** 560919 ms - **Total time:** 562084 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:** Invoking the CLI uses a default workers.dev endpoint and forwards its API credential in request headers. This is a concrete credential exposure to a host outside the stated THENUX domain. - **Trigger:** A user invokes either published CLI command. - **Impact:** A supplied or stored THENUX API key can be disclosed to the default third-party endpoint. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-20T05:06:20.561Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The bundled client selects the workers.dev URL by default and builds requests with the API key in Bearer and X-API-Key headers. - **Attack narrative:** The package installs no automatic lifecycle hook, but its published executable immediately parses user commands. Its default API base URL is a workers.dev host unrelated to the advertised THENUX domain. The client attaches its configured API key to requests as both Bearer and X-API-Key credentials, creating a default credential-forwarding path when the CLI is used. - **Rationale:** The reachable CLI sends API credentials to an unrelated default endpoint, which is concrete credential exfiltration behavior. The absence of an install hook does not remove the runtime exposure. - **Network endpoints:** https://thenux-kyrex-ai.scieovlogs12345.workers.dev ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The executable CLI entrypoint is the bundled dist file., The client defaults to an unrelated workers.dev host unless an environment override is supplied., Requests send the configured API key in both Bearer and API-key headers to that host., The package runs its CLI parser immediately when the executable is invoked. - **Evidence against:** There is no registry install, postinstall, or preinstall lifecycle hook. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to thenux-cli@1.0.6. - Avoid installing thenux-cli@1.0.6. 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.
