## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No confirmed malicious attack surface. The package implements a user-invoked OAuth login flow for a configured Verdaccio registry.

- **Trigger:** User invokes the package CLI or a configured Verdaccio instance handles OAuth authentication.

- **Impact:** Sets an auth token for the selected registry as part of the intended login flow.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/index.js, src/cli.ts, src/index.ts, src/secrets.ts

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-15T02:33:22.738Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** Configured-registry OAuth callback and token setup.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection shows an OAuth authentication plugin and explicit CLI login helper, with no lifecycle hook or concrete malicious chain. Static similarity is noisy here because the flagged primitives are package-aligned OAuth and registry configuration behavior.

- **Files touched:** bin/index.js, dist/cli.js

- **Network endpoints:** http://localhost:8239

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 98.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** No lifecycle scripts; the executable is declared as a user-invoked bin., The CLI opens the configured private registry OAuth route and saves its returned registry token., Plugin network calls are OAuth authorization, token, and userinfo operations against configured issuer., Temporary OAuth verifier storage is scoped to the configured storage directory and expires.

- **Evidence against:** No install-time execution, credential harvesting, external exfiltration, dynamic code loading, or AI-agent configuration writes found., The CLI's npm configuration write is an explicit login-flow action for the selected registry, not an install hook.

## Public findings

### 1. Medium: Network
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

Package source references network APIs.

Plugin network calls are OAuth authorization, token, and userinfo operations against configured issuer.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```typescript
app.use('/oauth/authorize', (req, res) => {
            const state = uuid();
            const codeVerifier = uuid() + uuid();

            secrets.set(state, codeVerifier);

Temporary OAuth verifier storage is scoped to the configured storage directory and expires.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```typescript
this.storage = path.join(cwd, '.secrets');

        if (!fs.existsSync(this.storage)) {
