## Public findings

### 1. High: Osv Malicious Advisory
- **Category:** External Intel
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

The \`reins\` CLI spawns a local pseudo-terminal via node-pty (default \`/bin/bash\` or \`cmd.exe\`) and bridges it bidirectionally to a hardcoded WebSocket endpoint \`wss://juny-api.kr/relay\`, with pairing coordinated through \`https://arv.juny-api.kr\`. Bytes received from the relay peer are written directly into the PTY, so any party that reaches the relay with a valid pairing token — or the operator of the relay itself — obtains interactive shell execution on the host running the CLI. The pairing secret is loaded from parent-directory \`.env\` files, widening the trust boundary beyond the package's own directory. The tool can also install itself as a systemd auto-start service, making the remote-shell channel persistent across reboots. Static analysis additionally flagged PATH modifications in \`dist/cli.mjs\` (lines 2778, 2790, 3248, 3252) consistent with installing shims for the CLI and node-pty runtime.
