No source-confirmed malicious execution or automatic outbound secret transmission was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-13T05:48:35.503Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-13T05:50:08.772Z - **Download time:** 2788 ms - **Static scan time:** 11957 ms - **AI review time:** 78522 ms - **Total time:** 93269 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The published server/.env exposes a bundled environment dump containing provider and authentication configuration. No source-confirmed malicious execution or automatic outbound secret transmission was found. - **Trigger:** Installing or accessing the package files. - **Impact:** Potential disclosure and misuse of bundled credentials or application secrets. - **Evidence paths:** server/.env, package.json, scripts/postinstall.mjs, server/utils/agents/aibitat/plugins/web-browsing.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-13T05:50:08.772Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** distribution of a populated environment configuration file - **Rationale:** This is a concrete credential-disclosure vulnerability in the published artifact, not evidence of malicious code execution or exfiltration. Warn so the package can be remediated and secrets rotated. - **Files touched:** server/.env ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Critical Vulnerability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** Bundled server/.env is labeled an automatic environment dump and contains populated provider/auth configuration entries., The package publishes server/ and has a postinstall hook, making the bundled .env available on installation. - **Evidence against:** Postinstall only installs declared subpackage dependencies and generates Prisma; no credential harvesting or foreign control-surface write found., Web-search requests require a configured provider API key and an invoked search query; this is product functionality, not stealth exfiltration., The flagged eval is in a third-party ONNX runtime browser asset. ## Public findings ### 1.
