Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — This can erase the package’s source and other files from the maintainer’s checkout. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Destructive Action - **Selected version:** 0.119.2 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The postpack hook contains a concrete destructive action against the package directory, so this is malicious rather than a clean result. The trigger is packaging, not consumer installation. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-08T15:48:35.037Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-08T15:48:57.691Z - **Download time:** 762 ms - **Static scan time:** 136 ms - **AI review time:** 21755 ms - **Total time:** 22654 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:** The postpack lifecycle hook removes package-directory contents after packing. - **Trigger:** A maintainer runs npm pack or another operation that invokes postpack. - **Impact:** This can erase the package’s source and other files from the maintainer’s checkout. - **Evidence paths:** package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-08T15:48:57.691Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook recursively deletes each top-level entry under its package directory except package.json and stage-pack.mjs. - **Attack narrative:** The package defines no install-time lifecycle hook, but its postpack script performs recursive deletion across its own package directory. This is destructive when packaging runs and can remove the checkout’s package contents. - **Rationale:** The postpack hook contains a concrete destructive action against the package directory, so this is malicious rather than a clean result. The trigger is packaging, not consumer installation. - **Files touched:** package.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The package’s postpack hook recursively removes every top-level entry in the package directory except package.json and stage-pack.mjs., The required shell helper resolves and invokes the local or global deft CLI when called; it does not itself install or execute a payload. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @deftai/directive-content@0.119.2. - Avoid installing @deftai/directive-content@0.119.2. 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.

High: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Path:** .githooks/\_deft-run.sh - **Public source:** [View source]() The required shell helper resolves and invokes the local or global deft CLI when called; it does not itself install or execute a payload.
