## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No attack surface was identified in the inspected source. The install hook performs a node-pty permission fix, and the reviewed process launches are tied to named CLI operations.

- **Trigger:** Package installation runs the postinstall permission fix; login and upgrade run when a user invokes those commands.

- **Impact:** No unauthorized credential disclosure, broad project mutation, or other harmful effect was established.

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-14T15:04:38.794Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The reviewed login flow uses its Supabase auth endpoint, the upgrade command launches an npm install, and the host scanner inspects local listeners.

- **Rationale:** The flagged lifecycle, network, and process behaviors correspond to the package's login, host, and upgrade functions. The inspected source shows no concrete malicious behavior.

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Clean

- **Confidence:** 94.0%

- **Recommended action:** mark\_clean

- **Intent class:** Benign

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The postinstall hook resolves node-pty helper paths and sets existing helpers executable., Login is an explicit command; it sends the received access token to the package's Supabase auth endpoint to fetch account information., The npm upgrade runs only through the explicit upgrade command., The host gateway flow uses a saved or environment-selected gateway, or the official gateway under its account conditions., The host port scanner enumerates local listeners and their working directories.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to linkshell-cli@0.10.28.

- Review the evidence and your use of linkshell-cli@0.10.28 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report.
