## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No confirmed malicious attack surface was established. The explicit CLI can download AdGuard ruleset assets into a user-supplied output path.

- **Trigger:** A user runs the dnr-rulesets load command.

- **Impact:** Expected user-directed ruleset generation; no credential theft, persistence, or arbitrary code execution was found.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-27T22:11:36.368Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Downloads and writes browser ruleset assets.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection shows a ruleset library and explicit CLI, not install-time execution. Its network and file writes are scoped to the documented user-invoked ruleset download workflow.

- **Files touched:** dist/cli.cjs, package.json

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

### 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 a library and an explicit CLI, with no install lifecycle hook., The only confirmed network code downloads filter metadata and filter text from the AdGuard filter host., Downloads and writes occur only through the user-invoked load command and its output path., No credential harvesting, shell execution, persistence, or hidden import-time attack behavior was found.

- **Evidence against:** The CLI can download remote filter content when the user runs its load command., The package includes a WebAssembly regex engine, consistent with ruleset processing.
