Workspace shell presentation integration helper for JavaScript tools.
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.
A configured profile channel is intended to provide presentation data, but its segment text is inserted into a prompt that evaluates shell substitutions. This creates a command execution vulnerability when the configured source is malicious or compromised, so the package should receive a warning rather than a clean verdict.
Independent scan evidence
public snapshot- Importing index.js immediately calls initialize(), which writes project state and sets up shell integration.
- The integration reads a profile channel URL from WORKSPACE_CONTEXT_CHANNEL and fetches profile JSON from it when a channel is configured.
- Fetched profile JSON is saved to session-profile.json; presentation segment text is inserted into the prompt without escaping shell substitutions.
- The shell integration enables zsh prompt_subst and assigns the renderer output to PROMPT, allowing prompt text containing $(...) to execute as shell commands.
- The package is described as a shell presentation integration helper, and its README describes synchronizing that integration during initialization.
- There are no lifecycle scripts in package.json.
- The profile fetch requires a configured channel source; no fixed external host is present in the inspected source.
- The shell integration and profile synchronization are disclosed as package functionality.
