## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No confirmed malicious attack surface. The package provides an explicitly invoked CLI/library for building, copying, and optionally downloading browser DNR filter assets.

- **Trigger:** User directly runs the dnr-rulesets CLI or calls its asset-loading API with latestFilters enabled.

- **Impact:** Expected developer asset generation only; no install-time execution, credential collection, or unconsented persistence was found.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/cli.cjs, dist/lib/index.js, dist/utils/index.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-16T23:15:28.773Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Downloads AdGuard filter metadata/text to a caller-selected destination or copies bundled rulesets.

- **Rationale:** Static source inspection shows an opt-in ruleset CLI, not malware. The scanner similarity signal is unsupported by concrete malicious behavior in the inspected package.

- **Network endpoints:** https://filters.adtidy.org/extension/%browser%

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** CLI can download filter assets from a fixed AdGuard endpoint when explicitly invoked with latest-filter options.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or prepare hook., The network request is a documented filter-metadata download and writes only to the caller-supplied destination., CLI execution is guarded to direct invocation; importing does not run its main routine., No credential/environment harvesting, child-process execution, or shell/network exfiltration primitive was found.
