## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No confirmed malicious attack surface. The package implements an explicitly invoked local development server, file watcher, and optional user-supplied remote entry.

- **Trigger:** User runs the \`serve\` CLI command or imports and calls its exported server function.

- **Impact:** It can expose user-selected development resources while the user-operated server is running; no unconsented install-time or background behavior was found.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, command.js, lib/serve.js, lib/webpack.serve.js, lib/init-config.js, lib/snapshot-server.js, lib/snapshot-router.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-15T01:55:37.041Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Webpack development server with project-file watching and snapshot rendering.

- **Rationale:** Static inspection shows a user-invoked Nebula development server with normal build, watch, WebSocket, and rendering functions. The scanner signals arise from bundled browser dependencies and expected development-server primitives, not a concrete malicious chain.

- **Files touched:** command.js, lib/serve.js, lib/webpack.serve.js, lib/init-config.js, lib/snapshot-server.js, lib/snapshot-router.js

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 98.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** The CLI explicitly invokes the server only through its \`serve\` command handler., The manifest has \`prepublishOnly\` only; no install-time lifecycle hook is defined., Runtime opens a user-configured local development server and watcher, not an undisclosed payload.

- **Evidence against:** No credential harvesting, file exfiltration, child-process execution, eval-based payload execution, persistence, or AI-agent configuration mutation was found in package source., The remote entry URL, project config loading, static resources, and snapshot rendering are documented development-server features activated by user input.
