LPM AI assessed this version as suspicious; the assessments disagree. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Trusted malware advisory block - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Malware - **Selected version:** 12.0.194 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** OpenSSF/OSV Malicious Advisory (OpenSSF/OSV) OpenSSF/OSV malware advisory MAL-2026-18644 identifies this version as malicious and supplies the Firewall block. LPM AI assessed this version as suspicious; the assessments disagree. Independent AI assessment: suspicious. LPM AI assessed this version as suspicious; the assessments disagree. OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-18644 confirms this npm version as malicious. Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-04T20:32:12.227Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-04T20:33:23.197Z - **Download time:** 1013 ms - **Static scan time:** 409 ms - **AI review time:** 69547 ms - **Total time:** 70970 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** A concealed payload runs when the package entry point is imported; its behavior is unknown. - **Trigger:** Importing the package through its declared main entry point, lib/index.js. - **Impact:** The hidden code could perform actions in the importing process; its purpose and effects are not established. - **Evidence paths:** lib/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-04T20:33:23.197Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The entry file decodes scrambled strings, obtains a Function constructor dynamically, and supplies it a large encoded payload. - **Rationale:** The declared entry point runs a heavily scrambled payload during module initialization through a dynamically obtained Function constructor. This is suspicious automatic obfuscated execution, but the available source does not establish a concrete malicious action. - **Files touched:** lib/index.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for AI warning decision:** The package declares lib/index.js as its main entry point, so importing the package loads that file., lib/index.js contains a scrambled payload that is passed to a dynamically obtained Function constructor during module initialization; its purpose cannot be established from the readable source. - **Evidence against:** The manifest lists build and test scripts but no install lifecycle hook., The apparent key in lib/config.js is labeled as a Google Maps API key; the EmailJS key is explicitly described as public. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @adminide-stack/yantra-help-browser@12.0.194. - Avoid installing @adminide-stack/yantra-help-browser@12.0.194. 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.
