## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No confirmed malicious package attack surface. Dynamic evaluation is part of the package's user-facing browser preview/dev-server functionality.

- **Trigger:** A deployed Nimbus preview session receives an HMR CSS update; real Vite is separately opt-in.

- **Impact:** User project preview code may run in its intended browser sandbox; no package-directed exfiltration or persistence was found.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.js, dist/facets/vite-dev-server.js, dist/facets/cirrus-real.js, dist/real-vite-bundle.generated.js, public/\_assets/real-vite-bundle.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-20T23:33:25.950Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Preview-server transformation and HMR execution of project-generated code.

- **Rationale:** The scanner's dynamic-evaluation findings map to bundled Vite and preview HMR behavior, not a concrete malicious chain. Source inspection found no lifecycle execution, credential theft, exfiltration, persistence, or agent-control mutation.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 91.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** Dev-preview HMR executes a fetched CSS-import wrapper with new Function., The shipped Vite bundle contains dynamic evaluation support.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook., The main entrypoint is a Cloudflare Worker router/runtime, not an install-time loader., Real-Vite mode and its bundled asset loading are explicitly opt-in and use the worker ASSETS binding., No credential harvesting, external exfiltration endpoint, or foreign agent-config mutation was confirmed.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @nimbus-sh/worker@0.4.0.

- Review the evidence and your use of @nimbus-sh/worker@0.4.0 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.

```javascript
matchType = previous_version_dangerous_delta
matchedPackage = @nimbus-sh/worker@0.3.0
matchedIdentity = npm:QG5pbWJ1cy1zaC93b3JrZXI:0.3.0
