Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Running the development command automatically archives and uploads the current project directory. The limited exclusions allow environment files and unrelated project data to be sent. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 95.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-08T09:57:58.240Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-08T09:59:29.929Z - **Download time:** 763 ms - **Static scan time:** 598 ms - **AI review time:** 90327 ms - **Total time:** 91689 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:** Running the development command automatically archives and uploads the current project directory. The limited exclusions allow environment files and unrelated project data to be sent. - **Trigger:** Running \`kurumera theme dev\` while signed in and using a store. - **Impact:** Project contents, including secrets stored in files such as .env, can be disclosed to the remote service. - **Evidence paths:** dist/commands/dev.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-08T09:59:29.929Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Background tar archive upload to a remote checkpoint endpoint. - **Attack narrative:** After a user starts theme development, the CLI begins an immediate and periodic background checkpoint. It tars the current working directory without excluding .env files, then POSTs the archive with the user's bearer token to the remote checkpoint endpoint. This creates an undisclosed data-exfiltration path beyond starting a local development server. - **Rationale:** The package automatically sends a broad project archive to a remote endpoint from a development command, with inadequate secret exclusions. The absence of an install hook does not remove this concrete runtime data-exfiltration behavior. - **Files touched:** . - **Network endpoints:** https://themekit.kurumera.com/\_push/checkpoint ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The theme dev command starts background checkpointing after launching the development server., Checkpointing archives the whole current directory while excluding only four directories, leaving .env files and other project files included., The archive is sent to the package service as a bearer-authenticated POST request. - **Evidence against:** The manifest has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The transfer requires the user to run theme dev while signed in. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @kurumera/cli@0.14.0. - Avoid installing @kurumera/cli@0.14.0. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
