Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The manifest exposes the CLI, and its git-ref diff path passes parsed values to a shell command without escaping them. This is a concrete, user-triggered command injection risk, so warn rather than block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-20T16:01:51.237Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-20T16:08:30.574Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 5137 ms - **AI review time:** 393689 ms - **Total time:** 399337 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:** The CLI has a command injection risk in its git-source diff path. - **Trigger:** A user invokes the CLI diff feature with a git-ref source whose ref or path contains shell syntax. - **Impact:** Crafted input may execute commands with the privileges of the CLI process. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/cli.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-20T16:08:30.574Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI interpolates the parsed ref and path into a \`git show\` command passed to \`execSync\`. - **Rationale:** The manifest exposes the CLI, and its git-ref diff path passes parsed values to a shell command without escaping them. This is a concrete, user-triggered command injection risk, so warn rather than block. - **Files touched:** dist/cli.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Critical Vulnerability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The package exposes a CLI at \`dist/cli.js\`., The CLI interpolates parsed \`--diff\` ref and path values into a shell command and executes it with \`execSync\`., The command is reachable when the CLI processes a git-ref source argument. - **Evidence against:** The shell command runs only when a user invokes the CLI diff feature with a git-ref source; the inspected code does not show install-time execution. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to effect-analyzer@3.4.1. - Review the evidence and your use of effect-analyzer@3.4.1 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
