## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No confirmed malicious attack surface. The user-invoked CLI downloads AdGuard filter metadata and text assets, then writes them to caller-selected paths.

- **Trigger:** User runs \`dnr-rulesets load\` or \`watch --latest-filters\`

- **Impact:** Expected project asset creation; no unconsented install-time action or exfiltration found.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-17T23:11:49.171Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Downloads and converts DNR filter rulesets

- **Rationale:** Direct inspection shows a ruleset-conversion CLI with explicitly invoked, package-aligned filter downloads. Scanner similarity and WASM signals do not establish malicious behavior.

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 98.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** High

- **Evidence against:** package.json defines no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook., CLI network access is an explicit \`load\`/\`watch --latest-filters\` feature for AdGuard filter assets., Downloaded data is saved only to the caller-provided output directory; no credential harvesting or exfiltration was found., No child-process execution or import-time network/download path was found.
