## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No malicious attack surface was confirmed. Network and filesystem operations are explicit CLI functions for downloading and building AdGuard browser-extension rulesets.

- **Trigger:** A user runs a dnr-rulesets CLI command such as load, manifest, or watch.

- **Impact:** Writes are limited to paths supplied through CLI arguments or options; no install-time execution was found.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-28T06:09:31.354Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Downloads filter assets and processes caller-specified extension files.

- **Rationale:** Direct inspection shows a ruleset-building CLI with explicit, package-aligned downloads and user-directed file operations. The scanner similarity and WASM hints do not establish malicious behavior.

- **Files touched:** dist/cli.cjs, dist/lib/index.js, 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 inspected manifest publishes dist files and declares no npm lifecycle hook., Network downloads are fixed to the AdGuard filter service and occur in explicit CLI functionality., The CLI only runs its commands when the user invokes the dnr-rulesets executable with arguments.

- **Evidence against:** The package can download filter metadata and filter text, then write it to a caller-selected directory., The CLI can patch and watch user-supplied browser-extension project paths; these are disclosed command features, not install-time actions., No credential harvesting, shell execution, dynamic payload execution, persistence, or agent-control-surface writes were found in inspected entry points.
