Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — A crafted path could execute commands with the host application's privileges. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Malware - **Selected version:** 0.1.2 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) Trusted malware advisory MAL-2026-17343 identifies this version as malicious. Firewall keeps the version blocked under its trusted-intelligence policy. An AI recommendation to allow or warn does not override that advisory. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. A runtime media-thumbnail helper passes interpolated paths to a shell command. No malicious install-time behavior was established. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-30T10:34:06.474Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-30T10:35:08.617Z - **Download time:** 522 ms - **Static scan time:** 2089 ms - **AI review time:** 59531 ms - **Total time:** 62143 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:** A runtime media-thumbnail helper passes interpolated paths to a shell command. No malicious install-time behavior was established. - **Trigger:** A caller requests video thumbnail generation with a crafted file path. - **Impact:** A crafted path could execute commands with the host application's privileges. - **Evidence paths:** lib/Utils/messages-media.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-30T10:35:08.617Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Shell command injection through unquoted ffmpeg arguments. - **Rationale:** This is not concrete malware, but the runtime shell interpolation is a real command-injection risk. The lifecycle hook itself is benign and limited to a version check. - **Files touched:** lib/Utils/messages-media.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Critical Vulnerability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The install hook runs a local Node-version check., Media thumbnail generation builds an ffmpeg shell command by interpolating file paths., The reported token string is a WhatsApp protocol dictionary entry, not a credential. - **Evidence against:** The install hook only reads the running Node version and exits when it is too old., No install-time network access, file harvesting, persistence, or project mutation was found., Observed network code implements WhatsApp media and WebSocket operations at runtime. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @bellaxchuu/crystalred@0.1.2. - Avoid installing @bellaxchuu/crystalred@0.1.2. 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.
