## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — Remote operator can execute arbitrary commands with the consuming process's permissions.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Block by default
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Remote Code Execution
- **Selected version:** 1.2.0
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

LPM AI independently confirmed malicious behavior in this version and supplies the Firewall block.

AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

This is a concrete import-time remote command execution chain, not a package-aligned CSS-processing feature. Lack of an install hook does not mitigate execution when the package is imported or its \`--info\` CLI path is used.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0%
- **Started:** 2026-07-17T15:38:06.004Z
- **Finished:** 2026-07-17T15:38:48.527Z
- **Download time:** 750 ms
- **Static scan time:** 749 ms

- **Total time:** 42523 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:** Importing the main module initiates remote payload retrieval. The package decrypts returned content and executes it through Node child-process APIs.

- **Trigger:** Any import/require of \`lib/autoprefixer.js\`, including \`autoprefixer --info\`.

- **Impact:** Remote operator can execute arbitrary commands with the consuming process's permissions.

- **Evidence paths:** lib/autoprefixer.js, lib/utils.js, bin/autoprefixer, package.json

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-07-17T15:38:48.527Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Remote encrypted command retrieval, AES decryption, and shell execution.

- **Attack narrative:** On module load, \`lib/autoprefixer.js\` decodes and requires \`node:child\_process\`, then contacts two Base64-obscured HTTP endpoints. It combines returned values and calls \`prefixInfo\`; \`lib/utils.js\` decrypts the supplied ciphertext using AES-256-CBC. The resulting plaintext is passed to the decoded \`exec\` method, allowing the remote service to determine a command executed by the local Node process.

- **Rationale:** This is a concrete import-time remote command execution chain, not a package-aligned CSS-processing feature. Lack of an install hook does not mitigate execution when the package is imported or its \`--info\` CLI path is used.

- **Files touched:** lib/autoprefixer.js, lib/utils.js, bin/autoprefixer, package.json

- **Network endpoints:** http://player.sweeprovider.org/getKey.php, http://player.sweeprovider.org/generateRandomKey.php

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for block:** \`lib/autoprefixer.js\` runs network fetches at module import time., \`lib/autoprefixer.js\` Base64-decodes \`node:child\_process\` and invokes decoded \`exec\`., \`lib/autoprefixer.js\` fetches two obscured remote endpoints for command material., \`lib/utils.js\` AES-256-CBC decrypts server-provided data into a command string., The decrypted server-controlled command is passed to \`child\_process.exec\`.

- **Evidence against:** \`package.json\` has no npm lifecycle scripts., \`bin/autoprefixer\` only loads the package for its documented CLI options.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @ai\_/autoprefixers@1.2.0.

- Avoid installing @ai\_/autoprefixers@1.2.0. 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.
