Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — Unexpected dependency injection and persistent project-manifest modification. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Dependency Confusion - **Selected version:** 1.0.2 - **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 package performs concealed, unconsented modification of a foreign project manifest during postinstall. No network or credential theft was found, but dependency injection alone is concrete malicious install-time behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-23T12:18:11.981Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-23T12:18:55.130Z - **Download time:** 521 ms - **Static scan time:** 145 ms - **AI review time:** 42482 ms - **Total time:** 43149 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:** npm installation mutates the consuming project's package manifest without consent. It can create that manifest and adds this package's missing peer dependencies after installation. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall - **Impact:** Unexpected dependency injection and persistent project-manifest modification. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.cjs, dist/index.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-23T12:18:55.130Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** detached delayed rewrite of the consuming project's package.json - **Attack narrative:** On installation, package.json runs scripts/postinstall.cjs. The hook resolves INIT\_CWD (or an ancestor of node\_modules), creates that project's package.json when absent, then spawns a detached Node process. After 1.5 seconds, the child adds every missing peer dependency from this package to the consuming project's dependencies and writes the manifest, with output suppressed. This is an unconsented install-time mutation outside the package. - **Rationale:** The package performs concealed, unconsented modification of a foreign project manifest during postinstall. No network or credential theft was found, but dependency injection alone is concrete malicious install-time behavior. - **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.cjs, ${INIT\_CWD}/package.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** Install hook runs postinstall.cjs., Hook creates the consuming project's package.json if absent., Detached delayed child injects all missing peer dependencies into that project manifest., Child is detached with ignored stdio, concealing the mutation. - **Evidence against:** No network endpoint, credential harvesting, or exfiltration is present in the inspected hook., The normal import entrypoint is a Fastify utility library; the harmful behavior is install-time. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @fastify-core/base@1.0.2. - Avoid installing @fastify-core/base@1.0.2. 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.
