It also uploads recorded terminal events after cloud sessions. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-14T11:58:59.916Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-14T12:00:01.271Z - **Download time:** 501 ms - **Static scan time:** 1045 ms - **AI review time:** 59808 ms - **Total time:** 61355 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Explicit cloud-session join can download relay-controlled workspace content, setup commands, and verification scripts; setup/verification are executed locally. It also uploads recorded terminal events after cloud sessions. - **Trigger:** User runs the CLI join/start/host commands, especially join with a cloud session code. - **Impact:** A relay/session owner can cause local commands to run in the created workspace and receive terminal/session data. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/bin.js, dist/chunk-SZEQIMVC.js, dist/chunk-FWYNCHAR.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-14T12:00:01.271Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote session payload ingestion, shell execution, agent launch, and terminal-recording upload. - **Rationale:** Source confirms a dangerous user-invoked remote execution and data-upload capability, including relay-provided shell content. No install-time hook or unconsented lifecycle mutation was found, so the source does not meet the block threshold. - **Files touched:** ~/.tonty-sessions/\-\/, ~/.tonty-tech-interviews/prompts/\.md, ~/.config/opencode/agent/tonty-interview.md - **Network endpoints:** https://tonty-tech-interviews-relay.tonty-tech-interviews.workers.dev ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** Cloud join writes relay-provided verify.sh into the workspace., The workspace verify.sh is later executed with bash., Cloud-provided setup commands execute through execSync., Cloud sessions upload recorded terminal event data to the Tonty relay., OpenCode launch writes a temporary named agent configuration with broad capabilities. - **Evidence against:** No npm install/preinstall/postinstall hook; only prepublishOnly is declared., Risky paths require explicit start/join/host CLI actions., OpenCode agent file is removed when the launched process exits., Captured environment data is limited to platform/runtime metadata, not full environment variables. ## Public findings ### 1.
