## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No confirmed malicious attack surface. Runtime network access is limited to explicit editor asset loading with a caller-supplied base URL.

- **Trigger:** Consumer imports the package and invokes editor or createAssetLoad APIs.

- **Impact:** No unconsented install-time action, credential access, persistence, or exfiltration established.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/kerebron.js, dist/kerebron.cjs, README.md

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-07-28T18:38:37.779Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Browser editor bundle with optional caller-directed asset/WASM fetches.

- **Rationale:** The scanner findings map to bundled editor/tree-sitter functionality: Emscripten-generated evaluation and user-configured asset loading. Direct inspection found no concrete malicious chain.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 96.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** dist/kerebron.js exposes caller-configured asset fetching and WASM loading., dist/kerebron.js contains Emscripten eval helpers for its embedded tree-sitter runtime.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts or bin entrypoint., Entrypoints are bundled browser editor exports only., Asset fetch URL is constructed from the caller-supplied base URL., No credential harvesting, shell/process execution, filesystem writes, or exfiltration found., The reported invisible character is a UI zero-width space at dist/kerebron.js:19527.

```

### 5. Critical: Trigger Reachable Dangerous Capability
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** dist/kerebron.cjs
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@kerebron/legacy-compat@0.8.9/dist/kerebron.cjs>)

A package entrypoint or install-time lifecycle script reaches a source file with blocking dangerous behavior.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
Trigger-reachable chain: manifest.main -> dist/kerebron.cjs
Reachable file contains a blocking source-risk pattern.
```

### 6. Low: Obfuscated
