User-invoked simulation loads executable code from a tscircuit CDN; \`init\` can install first-party AI skills into project agent directories. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-14T02:00:56.115Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-14T02:02:05.666Z - **Download time:** 1002 ms - **Static scan time:** 1773 ms - **AI review time:** 66774 ms - **Total time:** 69551 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** No install-time execution is declared. User-invoked simulation loads executable code from a tscircuit CDN; \`init\` can install first-party AI skills into project agent directories. - **Trigger:** Run \`tsci simulate analog\` or \`tsci init\`. - **Impact:** A compromised CDN response could execute as the CLI user; initialization can modify project AI-agent skill surfaces. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, cli/entrypoint.js, dist/cli/main.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-14T02:02:05.666Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote module download-and-import plus project-local AI-skill installation. - **Rationale:** This is not evidence of malicious intent, but remote code loading and project AI-agent skill installation are concrete warning-level capabilities. Neither occurs through npm lifecycle hooks or without a user CLI action. - **Files touched:** \/tscircuit-eecircuit-engine-1.7.4.mjs, .claude/skills/tscircuit, .agents/skills/tscircuit - **Network endpoints:** https://jscdn.tscircuit.com/@tscircuit/eecircuit-engine/1.7.4/dist/eecircuit-engine.mjs, https://api.github.com/repos/tscircuit/skill/contents ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The explicit \`simulate analog\` command downloads a JavaScript module to the OS temp directory and dynamically imports it without an integrity check., The explicit \`init\` flow can download a repository into \`.claude/skills/tscircuit\` and \`.agents/skills/tscircuit\`; confirmation defaults to enabled., The package has no npm preinstall/install/postinstall lifecycle hook. - **Evidence against:** Remote simulation loading is tied to the user-invoked simulation feature and uses a tscircuit CDN URL., AI-skill installation is confined to user project paths and is invoked from \`init\`, with an interactive confirmation unless \`--yes\` is chosen., The CLI shim only selects Bun/tsx and spawns the package's own \`dist/cli/main.js\`. ## Public findings ### 1.
