## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 22 finding(s) warrant review before installing.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Matched warn-list
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Remote Code Execution
- **Selected version:** 0.3.6
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions.

AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The source establishes a remote silent self-update execution path, but it is limited to managed installations and does not run during npm installation. This warrants a warning rather than a malicious publish block.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 87.0%
- **Started:** 2026-09-14T07:02:14.977Z
- **Finished:** 2026-09-14T07:04:07.779Z
- **Download time:** 1277 ms
- **Static scan time:** 12571 ms
- **AI review time:** 98953 ms
- **Total time:** 112802 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:** On startup of a managed WS installation, the CLI can fetch and silently execute a remote installer. The package does not perform this during npm installation.

- **Trigger:** Run the ws CLI from a managed .ws installation when an update is available and automatic updates are enabled.

- **Impact:** A compromised vendor update service could execute arbitrary code as the CLI user.

- **Evidence paths:** cli.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-14T07:04:07.779Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Remote manifest-controlled silent installer download and execution.

- **Rationale:** The source establishes a remote silent self-update execution path, but it is limited to managed installations and does not run during npm installation. This warrants a warning rather than a malicious publish block.

- **Files touched:** cli.js, ~/.ws/update

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 87.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** The CLI can download a shell or PowerShell installer from the vendor distribution site., It obtains the installer hash from the same remotely fetched manifest, then starts the installer automatically in the background., The downloaded installer is executed silently with bash or PowerShell execution-policy bypass.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no npm lifecycle scripts or dependencies., The updater is gated to a managed installation under the package's own .ws directory, so it is inactive for an ordinary npm-installed bin path., The document converter uses argument-vector spawning with shell disabled.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @gobi-starweaver/ws-cli@0.3.6.

- Review the evidence and your use of @gobi-starweaver/ws-cli@0.3.6 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.
