This is a concrete arbitrary-command-execution risk, not evidence of package-authored malware. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-25T15:47:19.253Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-25T15:48:04.767Z - **Download time:** 527 ms - **Static scan time:** 322 ms - **AI review time:** 44664 ms - **Total time:** 45514 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The user-invoked CLI auto-heal path accepts commands from a remote AI response and executes them with \`execSync\`. This is a concrete arbitrary-command-execution risk, not evidence of package-authored malware. - **Trigger:** Run \`gitelectron push\` and cause a Git error that enters AI Auto-Heal. - **Impact:** A compromised, malicious, or prompt-injected model response can execute arbitrary commands as the CLI user. - **Evidence paths:** bin/cli.js, src/main/aiService.ts, bin/postinstall.js, package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-25T15:48:04.767Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Unvalidated remote AI command list passed to shell execution. - **Rationale:** Source establishes an unvalidated remote-AI-to-shell execution chain, which is a serious dangerous capability. It is user-invoked and feature-associated rather than covert install-time malware, so warning is appropriate. - **Files touched:** bin/cli.js, src/main/aiService.ts, bin/postinstall.js, ~/.gitelectron-cli-config.json, user-selected Git repository - **Network endpoints:** https://router.huggingface.co/v1 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Critical Vulnerability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The explicit \`gitelectron push\` command sends Git status/error data to an AI service and executes every returned command through a shell without validation or confirmation., The Electron AI path likewise supplies repository path, Git status, and raw error text to remote model APIs, creating prompt-injection exposure., Postinstall runs \`npx electron-builder install-app-deps\` and globally installed copies auto-launch the Electron app, but no foreign AI-agent configuration is modified. - **Evidence against:** No source evidence of credential harvesting or exfiltration to an attacker-controlled endpoint., The dangerous command execution is reached only after the user invokes the CLI push flow and it encounters an error., The package is a Git/Electron client; its GitHub and model-service networking is feature-aligned rather than covert. ## Public findings ### 1.
