AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Confirmed source establishes a reachable obfuscated remote payload loader with eval and detached process execution. Absence of an npm lifecycle hook does not mitigate runtime execution on every CLI invocation. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-19T17:00:25.219Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-19T17:01:14.294Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 70 ms - **AI review time:** 48494 ms - **Total time:** 49075 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Every CLI launch imports an appended, obfuscated loader. It retrieves hidden runtime content and executes it with eval and a detached Node child process. - **Trigger:** Running the anhn CLI (any subcommand) or importing bin/index.js. - **Impact:** Arbitrary attacker-controlled code execution in the invoking user's environment. - **Evidence paths:** bin/index.js, bin/install/install.js, package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-19T17:01:14.294Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** obfuscated remote payload retrieval and execution - **Attack narrative:** The CLI entrypoint unconditionally requires bin/install/install.js. After its legitimate export, that file contains an obfuscated loader which obtains a runtime-selected payload, evaluates constructed code, and spawns a detached Node process. This is hidden remote code execution during ordinary CLI use, not required by the stated personal-CLI functionality. - **Rationale:** Confirmed source establishes a reachable obfuscated remote payload loader with eval and detached process execution. Absence of an npm lifecycle hook does not mitigate runtime execution on every CLI invocation. - **Files touched:** bin/index.js, bin/install/install.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** CLI entrypoint top-level imports the compromised install module on every invocation., Appended obfuscated code fetches a hidden payload then evaluates it and launches detached Node code., The hidden loader derives its command endpoint at runtime, enabling attacker-controlled remote execution. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no npm lifecycle hook; activation is runtime via the CLI entrypoint. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to anhn-cli@1.1.4. - Avoid installing anhn-cli@1.1.4. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
