## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No confirmed malicious attack surface is established. Network and file writes are limited to explicit filter-loading CLI functionality.

- **Trigger:** A user explicitly runs the CLI with filter-loading options or uses the bundled rules in a browser extension.

- **Impact:** Writes requested filter assets or applies packaged content-blocking rules; no unconsented install-time action was found.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-17T04:46:03.273Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** User-invoked filter download and ruleset generation.

- **Rationale:** The flagged CLI is a user-invoked ruleset tool with an explicit remote-filter option, not an install-time payload. Its browser-rule capability matches the package purpose and no concrete malicious behavior was found.

- **Network endpoints:** filters.adtidy.org

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 98.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest exposes an executable CLI entry point., The CLI can download filter metadata and text files, then write them to a user-selected destination., Bundled browser-extension rules can modify web-page JavaScript APIs when used by an extension.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The remote download path requires an explicit CLI option; otherwise the CLI copies bundled rulesets., No credential harvesting, environment access, subprocess execution, or import-time network action was found.
