The package provides an explicit OAuth CLI that stores a token for the chosen private registry and a Verdaccio Okta OAuth plugin. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-15T02:35:56.159Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-15T02:36:57.300Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 32 ms - **AI review time:** 60598 ms - **Total time:** 61141 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** No confirmed malicious attack surface. The package provides an explicit OAuth CLI that stores a token for the chosen private registry and a Verdaccio Okta OAuth plugin. - **Trigger:** User invokes the package bin or Verdaccio loads the configured authentication plugin. - **Impact:** Expected authentication configuration; no install-time execution or unrelated exfiltration was established. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/index.js, src/cli.ts, src/index.ts, src/secrets.ts - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-15T02:36:57.300Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Configured-registry OAuth authentication and registry-scoped npm token setup - **Rationale:** Source inspection shows an explicit, registry-scoped OAuth login flow consistent with the package purpose. No lifecycle hook or concrete malicious behavior was found. - **Files touched:** bin/index.js, dist/cli.js - **Network endpoints:** http://localhost:8239 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The explicit CLI opens the configured private registry OAuth endpoint and sets that registry's npm auth token., The Verdaccio plugin exchanges OAuth tokens with its configured issuer and returns the user to localhost. - **Evidence against:** package.json contains no preinstall, install, postinstall, or other lifecycle scripts., The token configuration occurs only after invoking the package bin; it is scoped to the selected registry., Network URLs derive from configured issuer/registry values and implement the stated Okta OAuth flow; no unrelated endpoint or exfiltration path was found., No eval, dynamic payload loading, persistence, destructive behavior, or AI-agent control-surface mutation was found. ## Public findings ### 1.
