> **Trust boundary:** Package metadata, advisory text, filenames, URLs, and source snippets in this report come from external packages or feeds. Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document.

## Verdict summary
**Flagged — allowed with a warning** — Allowed by default policy, but 24 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:** 0.3.8
- **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.

This is an automatic remote-code execution channel triggered during ordinary CLI use, without an independently pinned update signature. It is a concrete dangerous capability, but the package contains no npm install lifecycle trigger or direct evidence that the current release steals data or performs a destructive action.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0%
- **Started:** 2026-09-13T14:17:49.779Z
- **Finished:** 2026-09-13T14:19:25.631Z

- **Total time:** 95852 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:** A normal launch of a WS-managed CLI can fetch a remote update manifest, download a shell or PowerShell installer, and execute it silently. The remote manifest also supplies the hash used to approve that installer.

- **Trigger:** The user starts the CLI from a WS-managed installation with automatic updates enabled.

- **Impact:** A party controlling the distribution host or its manifest can obtain code execution as the CLI user.

- **Evidence paths:** cli.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-13T14:19:25.631Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Automatic remote installer download followed by silent shell execution.

- **Rationale:** This is an automatic remote-code execution channel triggered during ordinary CLI use, without an independently pinned update signature. It is a concrete dangerous capability, but the package contains no npm install lifecycle trigger or direct evidence that the current release steals data or performs a destructive action.

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

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for warning:** The CLI downloads an installer script from a package-controlled distribution host and saves it under the user's WS directory., It executes the downloaded script silently with Bash or PowerShell using ExecutionPolicy Bypass., The expected installer hash is obtained from the same remote manifest, so it is not an independent trust anchor., The update check and automatic installer launch run during normal CLI startup, with automatic updates enabled by default.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no npm lifecycle scripts., The updater only activates for a CLI entry installed beneath the user's WS directory, not merely when npm installs this package., The code compares the downloaded installer to a manifest-supplied SHA-256 value before execution.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @gobi-starweaver/ws-cli@0.3.8.

- Review the evidence and your use of @gobi-starweaver/ws-cli@0.3.8 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.
