Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis No additional public attack-surface or AI-review details are available. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @clearpool/utils@99.99.99. The same advisory and Firewall decision cover these 3 recorded versions: 100.0.0, 9.9.9, 99.99.99. - Avoid installing @clearpool/utils@99.99.99. 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. High: Osv Malicious Advisory - **Category:** External Intel - **Confidence:** 100.0% package.json declares \`preinstall\` and \`install\` lifecycle hooks that collect installer-identifying data (\`whoami\`, \`hostname\`, \`pwd\`, \`$npm\_package\_name\`), base64-encode it, and transmit it to attacker-controlled infrastructure at \`\*.callback.m0chan.co.uk\` via two independent channels: an HTTPS GET with the encoded payload in the URL path, and a DNS lookup embedding the encoded package name as a subdomain label (DNS-tunnel exfiltration to bypass HTTP egress filters). The package uses the \`@clearpool\` scope with version \`99.99.99\` and empty author metadata — classic dependency-confusion markers aimed at hijacking resolution of an internal package name within organizations that use this scope privately. Any developer or CI system running \`npm install\` with this package resolved will leak user, host, working directory, and the requested internal package name to the attacker, providing reconnaissance for follow-on targeted attacks. \#\# Source: ossf-package-analysis (402b776bfcc2da45256da8475f7acaa61c2c1f9679e09f0409523062ffe3d823) The OpenSSF Package Analysis project identified '@clearpool/utils' @ 99.99.99 (npm) as malicious.
