This remains warn-only unless evidence shows foreign-agent hijack through preinstall/install/postinstall, hidden persistence, exfiltration, remote code execution, or other concrete malicious behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-14T16:30:46.403Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-14T16:31:58.282Z - **Download time:** 512 ms - **Static scan time:** 1522 ms - **AI review time:** 69844 ms - **Total time:** 71879 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** No install-time attack was found. An explicit project-initialization command can fetch and write TSCircuit skills into AI-agent skill directories, and simulation code fetches then imports a remote module. - **Trigger:** User runs \`tsci init\` (or simulation functionality). - **Impact:** Remote content can influence future AI-agent behavior or execute in the CLI process when the respective user-invoked feature runs. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, cli/entrypoint.js, dist/cli/main.js, dist/cli/build/build.worker.js, dist/cli/snapshot/snapshot.worker.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-14T16:31:58.282Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** explicit AI-skill installation and remote dynamic module loading - **Rationale:** This is not malicious under the install-control policy because no lifecycle hook performs the mutation and the agent setup is tied to an explicit CLI command. It warrants a warning because it writes AI-agent skill directories and imports remotely fetched code without integrity verification. - **Files touched:** .claude/skills/tscircuit, .agents/skills/tscircuit - **Network endpoints:** https://api.github.com/repos/tscircuit/skill/contents, https://jscdn.tscircuit.com/@tscircuit/eecircuit-engine/1.7.4/dist/eecircuit-engine.mjs ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** \`tsci init\` downloads a remote skill repository into both \`.claude\` and \`.agents\` project skill directories., \`tsci init --yes\` passes its flag to skip the AI-skill confirmation prompt., Simulation support fetches JavaScript to a temporary file and dynamically imports it without an integrity check. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The agent-skill write occurs only through the explicit \`init\` command and is normally prompted., Observed telemetry sends command metadata, CLI version, source, and a random identifier; no credential or file harvesting was found. ## Public findings ### 1.
