Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The flagged CLI and network behavior matches the package's stated Verdaccio OAuth purpose: authentication requests go to the configured issuer and the CLI configures the returned token for the configured registry. The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and source inspection found no concrete attack behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-16T21:18:20.495Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-16T21:18:54.011Z - **Download time:** 765 ms - **Static scan time:** 27 ms - **AI review time:** 32723 ms - **Total time:** 33516 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:** No attack was identified. The package implements an explicit Verdaccio OAuth login flow using the configured registry and Okta issuer. - **Trigger:** A user runs the package's CLI or Verdaccio invokes the plugin's OAuth routes during login. - **Impact:** The inspected behavior supports registry authentication; no unrelated recipient, hidden collection, or install-time mutation was identified. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-16T21:18:54.011Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI opens the registry authorization route, receives the callback on localhost, configures the returned token for that registry, and returns the browser to the registry UI. - **Rationale:** The flagged CLI and network behavior matches the package's stated Verdaccio OAuth purpose: authentication requests go to the configured issuer and the CLI configures the returned token for the configured registry. The manifest has no install lifecycle hook, and source inspection found no concrete attack behavior. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json declares a CLI entrypoint and contains no install lifecycle hook., The CLI opens the configured registry's OAuth authorization route and listens for its local callback., The CLI configures the returned token for the same registry host and redirects the browser to the supplied registry UI., The plugin sends OAuth requests to its configured issuer and returns the encrypted npm token through localhost to the CLI. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to verdaccio-okta-oauth@40.2.2. - Review the evidence and your use of verdaccio-okta-oauth@40.2.2 before allowing it.
