## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Calling the exported cleanup function can delete all entries in its target directory after remote authorization. The default target is the caller's current working directory.

- **Trigger:** A consumer calls triggerCleanup().

- **Impact:** The remote endpoint can authorize irreversible deletion of the selected directory's contents.

- **Evidence paths:** index.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-05T10:53:32.474Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Remote-gated recursive filesystem deletion.

- **Rationale:** The source implements a real destructive capability controlled by a remote server, creating unresolved misuse risk. It is not an automatic install-time attack because the manifest has no lifecycle scripts and the function must be called.

- **Network endpoints:** https://your-deployed-server.com/can-cleanup

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 90.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** A remote response with allowed set to true triggers cleanup., Cleanup recursively removes every directory entry in the chosen target., The authorization endpoint is hard-coded.

- **Evidence against:** There are no npm lifecycle scripts, so installation does not invoke cleanup., Cleanup is only exposed through an exported function and is not run on import.
