Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The manifest activates the installer automatically, and inspected source confirms recursive deletion and replacement of consumer project paths without a consent guard. This is malicious install-hook behavior that can destroy or overwrite consumer files. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-11T09:52:08.322Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-11T09:52:34.696Z - **Download time:** 1028 ms - **Static scan time:** 1035 ms - **AI review time:** 24310 ms - **Total time:** 26374 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:** The automatic postinstall deletes and replaces files and directories in the consumer project. It also removes build, dist, and temp directories above the package. - **Trigger:** Installing the package with npm, which invokes its postinstall hook. - **Impact:** Existing consumer project content can be destroyed or replaced during installation. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, npm-post-install.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-11T09:52:34.696Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The installer computes paths above its own directory, recursively removes destination paths, and renames package content into those locations. - **Attack narrative:** The package's automatic postinstall loads an installer that reaches above the package directory into the consumer project. It recursively deletes target paths before moving package files into them, and separately removes build, dist, and temp directories. This creates a concrete install-time destructive file mutation surface. - **Rationale:** The manifest activates the installer automatically, and inspected source confirms recursive deletion and replacement of consumer project paths without a consent guard. This is malicious install-hook behavior that can destroy or overwrite consumer files. - **Files touched:** .vscode, project, workspace, README.md, CHANGELOG.md, contributors.txt, settings.json, main.js, repos.json, build, dist, temp ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** package.json runs npm-post-install.js automatically through a postinstall hook., The installer targets paths six directories above its package location, reaching the consumer project root in a standard nested npm installation., The postinstall recursively deletes existing destination paths, then moves package files over them; targets include .vscode, project, workspace, settings.json, main.js, and repos.json., The same install hook recursively removes build, dist, and temp directories three levels above the package. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @aj-shadow/actorjs-app@0.0.0-aj-beta.264. - Avoid installing @aj-shadow/actorjs-app@0.0.0-aj-beta.264. 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.
