The user-invoked CLI can conditionally retrieve its tree-sitter parser asset when the local asset is absent. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-18T16:47:06.344Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-18T16:48:04.487Z - **Download time:** 1014 ms - **Static scan time:** 2074 ms - **AI review time:** 55054 ms - **Total time:** 58143 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** No confirmed malicious attack surface. The user-invoked CLI can conditionally retrieve its tree-sitter parser asset when the local asset is absent. - **Trigger:** User runs the anvil CLI and its local tree-sitter WASM cannot be found. - **Impact:** Fetches a parser dependency; no payload execution or credential exfiltration was established. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/anvil.cjs, dist/bundled.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-18T16:48:04.487Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** conditional parser-WASM recovery via curl - **Rationale:** Direct inspection refutes the scanner's encrypted-payload claim: the bundle contains no such loader or execution chain. Its child-process and network use is runtime CLI functionality, including a bounded parser-WASM fallback after explicit invocation. - **Files touched:** bin/anvil.cjs, bin/tree-sitter.wasm, dist/bundled.js - **Network endpoints:** https://unpkg.com/web-tree-sitter@0.25.10/tree-sitter.wasm, https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/web-tree-sitter@0.25.10/tree-sitter.wasm ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** Runtime-only fallback downloads a missing tree-sitter WASM file with curl. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The npm bin wrapper only launches the packaged CLI after explicit user invocation., The WASM download is conditional on the local parser file being unavailable., No decryption routine, embedded-payload extraction, temporary payload execution, or eval-based loader was found in the bundled source., Observed network calls are CLI/AI-service, documentation/search, telemetry, and update-check functionality; no credential-harvesting path was found. ## Public findings ### 1.
