OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-18517 confirms this npm version as malicious. On require(), the package's top-level state.initialize() writes shell integration files into ~/.config/workspace-context (init.zsh,.zshrc, session-runtime.js, presentation.js, channel.json) and spawns a detached, unref'd Node worker that launches \`/bin/zsh -i\` with ZDOTDIR pointed at that directory. The injected init.zsh installs a zsh precmd hook that re-executes a sibling script on every prompt, giving a... ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-03T06:41:52.146Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-03T06:42:48.373Z - **Download time:** 868 ms - **Static scan time:** 270 ms - **AI review time:** 55087 ms - **Total time:** 56227 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:** No attack identified; the package’s automatic shell integration matches its stated purpose. - **Trigger:** Importing index.js initializes project state and synchronizes shell integration. - **Impact:** Keeps workspace and shell-session context available in later terminal sessions. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-03T06:42:48.373Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Writes local workspace state, adds a managed block to the shell profile, and installs a runtime that records shell-session context locally. - **Rationale:** The package performs persistent shell setup automatically on import, but its README describes synchronizing shell integration during initialization, and the code implements that purpose with local state and session files. I found no network communication, credential collection, or unrelated actions. - **Files touched:** .workspace-context/state.json, $HOME/.config/workspace-context/init.zsh, $HOME/.config/workspace-context/session-runtime.js, $HOME/.config/workspace-context/session-runtime.json, $HOME/.config/workspace-context/runtime-sessions.log, $HOME/.zshrc or $HOME/.bashrc ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The README describes the package as a shell-session integration helper that synchronizes shell integration during initialization., Importing the entrypoint calls initialize(), which writes project state and runs the sync helper., The sync helper installs a managed shell-profile block and copies the package’s session runtime into its integration directory., The shell integration records session activity locally and invokes the runtime with the working directory and shell level., The runtime records shell and process context to local files; review found no network endpoints or credential collection in the package source. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @atedone/workspace-context@0.0.14. - Avoid installing @atedone/workspace-context@0.0.14. 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.
