## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Running the managed CLI can silently download and execute a remotely supplied installer. It also sends its authentication token and device identifier to the package's fixed gateway.

- **Trigger:** A user runs ws from a managed .ws installation while automatic updates are enabled and an update is advertised.

- **Impact:** Remote server control can lead to arbitrary code execution as the CLI user and exposure of gateway credentials and device identifiers.

- **Evidence paths:** cli.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-01T11:22:16.911Z

### AI review details

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

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

- **Attack narrative:** The executable starts a background update check after launch. When the remote manifest reports an update, automatic updates default on and it downloads an installer from the vendor distribution host, stores it under .ws/update, and launches it silently and detached through Bash or PowerShell. The expected installer hash comes from the same remotely fetched manifest, so it does not provide an independent trust boundary. The client also uses the locally stored card token as its API key against a fixed vendor gateway.

- **Rationale:** This package contains a concrete automatic remote-code execution path that runs after normal CLI use without a user confirmation step. Its fixed gateway also receives the package's stored authentication token.

- **Files touched:** cli.js, ~/.ws/update/, ~/.ws/auth.json, ~/.ws/machine-id

- **Network endpoints:** https://gobi-starweaver.cn/dist/version.json, https://gobi-starweaver.cn/dist, https://api.gobi-starweaver.cn:8443/v1

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 96.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** The CLI automatically checks a vendor-hosted update manifest and can launch a detached silent installer., The installer is downloaded from a remote URL, written under the user's .ws directory, then executed with Bash or PowerShell., The CLI routes its stored authentication token and device identifier to a fixed vendor gateway.

- **Evidence against:** package.json contains no npm lifecycle scripts., The remote installer path is reached when the user runs the CLI from its managed .ws installation, not during npm installation.
