## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Global installation can open the package's own terminal UI after clearing the installer TTY. Checklist generation sends only the entered goal to the package-aligned endpoint; no confirmed malicious attack surface exists.

- **Trigger:** Global npm installation for onboarding; interactive CLI checklist generation for network use.

- **Impact:** TTY disruption on global install and transmission of the user-entered goal to the generation service.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, dist/cli.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-17T05:11:09.307Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** Own-CLI onboarding, local checklist storage, and user-requested generation

- **Rationale:** The postinstall behavior is intrusive but constrained to launching this package's own CLI on global installs. Source inspection found no exfiltration, remote payload execution, persistence beyond its own checklist data, or AI-agent control-surface mutation.

- **Files touched:** scripts/postinstall.js, dist/cli.js, /dev/tty, ~/.config/checklist/data.json

- **Network endpoints:** https://checklist-tui.vercel.app/api/generate

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 95.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** Defines a postinstall lifecycle hook., On global non-CI installs, postinstall clears the TTY and launches its own CLI., CLI can POST a user-provided checklist goal to its configured generation endpoint., CLI persists checklist data only under its own config directory.

- **Evidence against:** No credential, environment-value, or arbitrary-file harvesting found., No remote code loading, eval, shell interpolation, or payload download found., Network request is limited to checklist generation initiated from the CLI., Child-process use is limited to postinstall onboarding and macOS sound playback.

## Public findings

### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/checklist-tui@0.1.2/package.json>)

Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
scripts.postinstall = node scripts/postinstall.js
```

### 2. Medium: Ambiguous Install Lifecycle Script
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 75.0%
- **Path:** package.json
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/checklist-tui@0.1.2/package.json>)

Install-time lifecycle script is not statically allowlisted and needs review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```json
scripts.postinstall = node scripts/postinstall.js
```

### 3. Low: Non Install Lifecycle Scripts
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 80.0%

Package declares lifecycle scripts that are not normally run for registry tarball installs.

### 4. Low: Scripts Present
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Package declares npm scripts.

### 5. Medium: Network
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

Package source references network APIs.

### 6. Medium: Environment Vars
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

### 8. Low: Url Strings
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 65.0%

Package source contains URL literals.

### 9. Low: No License
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 80.0%

Package manifest does not declare a clear license.

### 10. High: Semantic Analysis Limited
- **Category:** Scanner Coverage
- **Confidence:** 100.0%
- **Path:** dist/cli.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/checklist-tui@0.1.2/dist/cli.js>)

A bounded semantic-analysis stage reached its safety limit; remaining detectors completed, but this package requires AI review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
stage = ast_semantic_analysis; reason = ast_alias_growth_limit_exceeded; limitedFiles = 1
```

### 11. High: Previous Version Dangerous Delta
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 93.0%
- **Path:** scripts/postinstall.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/checklist-tui@0.1.2/scripts/postinstall.js>)

This package version adds a dangerous source file absent from the previous stored version; route for source-aware review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
matchType = previous_version_dangerous_delta
matchedPackage = checklist-tui@0.1.1
matchedIdentity = npm:Y2hlY2tsaXN0LXR1aQ:0.1.1
similarity = 0.500
summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file
```
