Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. A cloud session can provide shell commands and a verification script that run on the CLI user's machine. It also feeds a remote prompt into enabled AI-agent configurations and uploads session transcripts. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-31T21:30:41.364Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-31T21:32:02.597Z - **Download time:** 506 ms - **Static scan time:** 1145 ms - **AI review time:** 79581 ms - **Total time:** 81233 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:** A cloud session can provide shell commands and a verification script that run on the CLI user's machine. It also feeds a remote prompt into enabled AI-agent configurations and uploads session transcripts. - **Trigger:** The user runs the join command with a cloud session code. - **Impact:** A session operator can run commands as the user, influence the launched agent, and receive recorded terminal activity. - **Evidence paths:** dist/chunk-CRCDE5GP.js, dist/chunk-CJYSWPM3.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-31T21:32:02.597Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote session content reaches shell execution and AI-agent configuration. - **Rationale:** The package exposes a real remote code execution path and agent-control mutation through session content, but the path is activated by an explicit interview-session command rather than an automatic install hook. This is a dangerous capability requiring a warning, not sufficient source evidence of covert malicious install behavior. - **Files touched:** verify.sh, ~/.tonty-tech-interviews/prompts/\.md, ~/.config/opencode/agent/tonty-interview.md - **Network endpoints:** tonty-tech-interviews-relay.tonty-tech-interviews.workers.dev ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The join flow downloads a cloud-provided verify script and remote metadata supplies shell setup commands., Those setup commands run through a shell, and the downloaded verify script is later run with bash., The package writes a remote system prompt into an OpenCode agent configuration with shell, edit, and web permissions., Cloud sessions upload captured terminal events to the relay. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no install, preinstall, or postinstall hook; its lifecycle scripts are publish-only., The risky flows require an explicit CLI join action and a session code., Downloaded tarballs are checked for absolute paths and parent-directory traversal before extraction. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to tonty-tech-interviews@0.2.74. - Review the evidence and your use of tonty-tech-interviews@0.2.74 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.
