This is an untrusted remote-command execution capability, but it is not install-time behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-20T11:53:55.955Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-20T11:54:54.226Z - **Download time:** 509 ms - **Static scan time:** 1337 ms - **AI review time:** 56424 ms - **Total time:** 58271 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Explicit \`join \\` retrieves a remote session from the Tonty relay, creates a workspace, and shell-executes its setup command strings. This is an untrusted remote-command execution capability, but it is not install-time behavior. - **Trigger:** User runs \`tonty-tech-interviews join \\` with a cloud session code. - **Impact:** A relay/session-code controller can execute commands as the joining user and receive recorded terminal-session data. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/bin.js, dist/chunk-K4ZB5VID.js, dist/chunk-VVIWNO2X.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-20T11:54:54.226Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote metadata supplies arbitrary shell commands to execSync. - **Rationale:** The source establishes a real, remotely controlled shell-execution chain activated by an explicit CLI join command. It warrants a warning for dangerous capability/critical vulnerability rather than a malware block because no unconsented install-time attack chain is present. - **Files touched:** ~/.tonty-sessions/\-\, ~/.tonty-tech-interviews/prompts/\.md, ~/.tonty-tech-interviews/sessions/\.json - **Network endpoints:** https://tonty-tech-interviews-relay.tonty-tech-interviews.workers.dev ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Critical Vulnerability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** Cloud join downloads attacker-controlled session metadata and executes each setup command with execSync., The remote session flow also accepts a workspace tarball and writes a remotely served verify.sh., Cloud sessions upload terminal recordings and session results to the package relay. - **Evidence against:** No install, postinstall, or preinstall hook; only prepublishOnly is declared., The risky paths require an explicit \`join \\` CLI action., AI-provider instruction files are created only in temporary launcher directories, not foreign global configs. ## Public findings ### 1.
