## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No confirmed malicious attack surface was established. The package is a static-analysis library with an explicit CLI that reads target source and can write requested report files.

- **Trigger:** A user explicitly runs the effect-analyze CLI or imports its analysis API.

- **Impact:** No automatic install-time execution, credential collection, network exfiltration, or persistence was found.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/cli.js, dist/rules.js, dist/migration.js, README.md

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-29T11:22:05.868Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Static TypeScript analysis and optional report generation.

- **Rationale:** Direct inspection shows that the scanner findings are largely matches in lint rules, documentation examples, and explicit CLI features. There is no lifecycle trigger or concrete malicious behavior.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 96.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, postinstall, or prepare hook and does not depend on itself., The exposed CLI performs user-invoked static analysis and writes requested analysis reports., The apparent fetch, credential, environment, and child-process matches are analyzer rules, examples, or explicit developer tooling rather than package exfiltration., No fixed credential gateway, remote payload loader, persistence routine, or reviewer-directed manipulation was found.
