A managed installation can silently fetch and execute a publisher-hosted installer during normal CLI use. The hash is supplied by the same remotely fetched update manifest, so it is not an independent integrity boundary.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** A managed installation can silently fetch and execute a publisher-hosted installer during normal CLI use. The hash is supplied by the same remotely fetched update manifest, so it is not an independent integrity boundary.

- **Trigger:** Launching the managed .ws installation while automatic updates are enabled and an update is reported.

- **Impact:** A compromised update host or manifest can cause code execution with the user's privileges.

- **Evidence paths:** cli.js, package.json

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-28T20:11:24.631Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Remote installer download followed by detached shell or PowerShell execution.

- **Rationale:** The automatic remote installer execution is an unresolved, high-impact runtime risk that warrants a warning. The absence of npm lifecycle hooks and evidence of theft or foreign control-surface mutation does not support a malicious block verdict.

- **Files touched:** ~/.ws/update/install-\<hash\>.sh, ~/.ws/update/install-\<hash\>.ps1

- **Network endpoints:** https://gobi-starweaver.cn/dist/version.json, https://gobi-starweaver.cn/dist

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for:** The managed-install updater downloads a shell or PowerShell installer from the publisher host and saves it locally., It starts the downloaded installer silently in a detached process., Eligible CLI launches start background update checking, and automatic updates default to enabled.

- **Evidence against:** The manifest has no npm lifecycle scripts and no runtime dependencies., The updater is gated to executables installed under the package's managed .ws directory, not ordinary npm-bin execution., No source evidence shows credential theft, foreign package overwrites, or AI-agent control-surface mutation.
