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 @doaction/sudo-prompt@99.99.99. The same advisory and Firewall decision cover these 2 recorded versions: 99.99.99, 9.9.9. - Avoid installing @doaction/sudo-prompt@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% \`@doaction/sudo-prompt\` shares the name of the widely-used unscoped \`sudo-prompt\` package but contains none of its privilege-escalation functionality. The only behavior is environment telemetry: \`package.json\` maps \`preinstall\` to \`node scripts/postinstall.js\`, which requires \`@doaction/shared/bin/postinstall.js\` (and a sibling \`scripts/preinstall.js\` requires \`@doaction/shared/bin/preinstall.js\`); the dependency performs Datadog environment telemetry on install. The single exported function \`reportSudoEnv(config)\` in \`src/index.js\` unconditionally calls \`reportEnvToDatadog(...)\` with hardcoded service identifier \`doaction-sudo-prompt\` and tag \`module: sudo-prompt\`. Caller passes their own \`ddApiKey\`, so the destination Datadog account is caller-controlled rather than attacker-owned, and no third-party-attacker-controlled endpoint was identified. The concerns are (a) the name overlap with a popular package, which can mislead developers into installing a telemetry shim instead of the privilege-prompt library they expected, and (b) the preinstall hook performs outbound telemetry without an opt-in. There is no credential scraping, no remote code fetch, no attacker-controlled exfiltration endpoint, and no install-time destruction. Routing to human review to assess the name-confusion risk against the legitimate \`sudo-prompt\` package and the undisclosed install-time telemetry behavior. \#\# Source: ghsa-malware (488a945e315d4824a3cc9dbb099b6eb414d12692164cb2c965626725ff64776a) Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it. ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** No - **Dependencies:** 0 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 0 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 0 ## Package metadata - **Package:** @doaction/sudo-prompt - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 99.99.99 - **Version published:** 2026-06-08T23:19:23.994Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-07-08T17:25:10.588Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-07-08T23:55:08.831Z - **Known versions:** 2 - **Latest version:** 99.99.99 - **Appeal under review:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OpenSSF/OSV advisory]() - [ADVISORY]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]()
