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. No install-time attack surface is present. This package loads AdGuard declarative net-request rulesets and patches an extension manifest only when a developer runs the published CLI or library APIs. Scanner malware fingerprints on the bundled CLI and adblock scriptlet assets are product-aligned, not a hidden payload. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Clean - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-17T02:41:51.955Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-17T02:46:20.431Z - **Download time:** 2555 ms - **Static scan time:** 10226 ms - **AI review time:** 255694 ms - **Total time:** 268476 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 install-time attack surface is present. This package loads AdGuard declarative net-request rulesets and patches an extension manifest only when a developer runs the published CLI or library APIs. Scanner malware fingerprints on the bundled CLI and adblock scriptlet assets are product-aligned, not a hidden payload. - **Trigger:** User runs the dnr-rulesets command or calls AssetsLoader/ManifestPatcher after install. - **Impact:** No confirmed malicious impact; project files change only when the user asks to load rulesets or patch a manifest. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-17T02:46:20.431Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Copy prebuilt rulesets and optionally download AdGuard filter lists - **Rationale:** Source inspection shows an AdGuard MV3 ruleset utility with no install hooks and with network and file writes gated on explicit CLI or API use. High scanner hits on dist/cli.cjs are a noisy match against a large bundled product CLI, not concrete malware. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** package.json ships a user-invoked dnr-rulesets CLI and library entry with only build, test, and lint scripts., dist/cli.cjs is a large bundled Node CLI requiring commander and axios, which is why malware-fingerprint and new-file scanners flagged it., The library downloads filter metadata with axios from filters.adtidy.org when a caller requests latest filters. - **Evidence against:** There are no preinstall, install, or postinstall hooks, so npm install does not run the CLI or library., Inspected CLI and library code is AdGuard DNR ruleset loading, manifest patching, and inlined parsers, not a dropper or harvester., local\_script\_rules.js holds MV3 adblock scriptlets that are copied only when the user loads assets; they are not executed at install., MD5 is used to fingerprint rule text; there is no self-dependency, child\_process, or agent-config mutation. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @adguard/dnr-rulesets@4.1.20260828040039. - Review the evidence and your use of @adguard/dnr-rulesets@4.1.20260828040039 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
