User-invoked \`tsci init\` can download and install a tscircuit skill into project AI-agent skill directories. User-invoked simulation downloads and executes an unpinned remote module. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-15T10:32:07.643Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-15T10:33:06.916Z - **Download time:** 1261 ms - **Static scan time:** 1572 ms - **AI review time:** 56440 ms - **Total time:** 59273 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** User-invoked \`tsci init\` can download and install a tscircuit skill into project AI-agent skill directories. User-invoked simulation downloads and executes an unpinned remote module. - **Trigger:** Run \`tsci init\` (including \`--yes\`) or a simulation command. - **Impact:** A changed remote source could alter agent guidance or execute code in the invoking user's context. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, cli/entrypoint.js, dist/cli/main.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-15T10:33:06.916Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote content download with project AI-skill writes and dynamic module import. - **Rationale:** This is not install-time malware, but it provides first-party AI-agent extension setup and remote-code loading from mutable endpoints. The explicit command triggers reduce severity, but source inspection establishes a real supply-chain control surface. - **Files touched:** .claude/skills/tscircuit, .agents/skills/tscircuit, \/tscircuit-eecircuit-engine-1.7.4.mjs - **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\` installs remote content into \`.claude/skills/tscircuit\` and \`.agents/skills/tscircuit\`., The skill setup downloads GitHub API-listed files and writes them without integrity pinning., Simulation downloads a remote module to the temp directory and dynamically imports it. - **Evidence against:** package.json contains no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook., The agent-content write is reached from the user-invoked \`init\` command, with an interactive confirmation unless \`--yes\` is supplied., No credential harvesting, unrelated file exfiltration, or stealth persistence was found in inspected entrypoints. ## Public findings ### 1.
