Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Normal CLI startup checks for a release and defaults to installing it automatically. The install is global, enables npm lifecycle scripts, and can enter a nested chain because the package depends on itself at another release range. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-07T10:15:01.267Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-07T10:16:57.220Z - **Download time:** 1273 ms - **Static scan time:** 16141 ms - **AI review time:** 98537 ms - **Total time:** 115953 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:** Normal CLI startup checks for a release and defaults to installing it automatically. The install is global, enables npm lifecycle scripts, and can enter a nested chain because the package depends on itself at another release range. - **Trigger:** Running blun or king without an existing configuration that disables automatic updates. - **Impact:** A registry-selected release can replace the global CLI and execute its install hooks without a per-update user confirmation. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/startup-preferences.cjs, bin/launcher-runtime.js, bin/update-notice.js, scripts/fix-node-pty-perms.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-07T10:16:57.220Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** automatic global self-update with lifecycle scripts enabled - **Attack narrative:** Installing this release establishes a self-dependency that can select another release with the same lifecycle hook. On an ordinary later CLI start, absent configuration defaults automatic updates on; the launcher invokes the updater, which performs a global npm installation with scripts enabled. That remote installation can run postinstall again and mutate dependency permissions. This makes the registry release chain an automatic executable update path rather than a user-confirmed update. - **Rationale:** The automatic global updater, enabled lifecycle scripts, and runtime self-dependency form a concrete unconsented supply-chain execution path. The narrow permission-repair hook does not offset the broader chained update behavior. - **Files touched:** package.json, bin/startup-preferences.cjs, bin/launcher-runtime.js, bin/update-notice.js, scripts/fix-node-pty-perms.js - **Network endpoints:** registry.npmjs.org, chat.blun.ai ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The package declares itself as a runtime dependency at a different release range., Startup defaults to automatic installation when no local configuration exists., Every normal CLI launch invokes the update flow, which can select automatic installation., The updater runs a global npm install with lifecycle scripts explicitly enabled., Its postinstall hook changes executable permissions in another dependency., On macOS, the script sets each node-pty darwin spawn-helper executable permission mode to 0755. - **Evidence against:** The postinstall source is limited to macOS node-pty spawn-helper permission repair., The updater uses fixed HTTPS registry endpoints and validates its npm CLI path. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to blun-king-cli@9.1.512. - Avoid installing blun-king-cli@9.1.512. 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.
