OpenSSF/OSV Malicious Advisory
imported 2d ago · by OpenSSF/OSVOpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-18517 confirms this npm version as malicious.
Independent LPM AI assessment
SuspiciousIndependent AI assessment: suspicious. LPM AI assessed this version as suspicious; the assessments disagree.
The package’s stated purpose is shell integration, but importing it immediately writes state and modifies the user’s shell startup profile to run a persistent session helper. This is an intrusive automatic side effect, so warn rather than block; no malicious data collection or unrelated network destination was identified.
Independent scan evidence
public snapshot- Requiring the package immediately calls initialize().
- Initialization writes project state and launches a helper process that installs shell integration.
- The helper copies a runtime into the user config directory and modifies the shell profile.
- The integration runs the runtime at shell startup; profile synchronization requires a configured channel.
- The README describes shell integration and setup during initialization as the package’s purpose.
- No channel request occurs unless a channel is configured; no unrelated host or credential collection was identified.
