## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — A remote service can cause arbitrary commands to run with the invoking user's privileges.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Remote Code Execution
- **Selected version:** 4.2.0
- **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.

Runtime use contacts a remote service and executes server-directed probe content through a shell. Its MCP execution tool also runs supplied commands.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Runtime use contacts a remote service and executes server-directed probe content through a shell. Its MCP execution tool also runs supplied commands.

- **Trigger:** Running the CLI or invoking its MCP tools.

- **Impact:** A remote service can cause arbitrary commands to run with the invoking user's privileges.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/index.js, dist/mcp.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-08T17:17:11.793Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** Obfuscated remote-directed shell execution.

- **Attack narrative:** The obfuscated CLI posts validation data to the triage service. If the service returns probe entries, the code forwards them to a shell using a shell command argument. This grants the remote endpoint control over commands executed on the user's machine during normal validation. The companion MCP server also provides a command-execution tool.

- **Rationale:** Although installation has no automatic registry lifecycle hook, the package combines deliberate obfuscation with remote-controlled shell execution in its normal runtime path. This is a concrete remote code execution capability.

- **Files touched:** dist/index.js, dist/mcp.js

- **Network endpoints:** https://triage.golproductions.com/preflight

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 98.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for block:** The executable is deliberately obfuscated, concealing its operational behavior., The command-validation flow sends data to a remote triage service., The remote response can supply probe strings that are passed to a shell process., The MCP server exposes a tool that executes caller-provided shell commands.

- **Evidence against:** The manifest has no npm preinstall, install, or postinstall hook; its only lifecycle script is prepublishOnly., The dangerous paths require CLI or MCP use rather than running automatically on package installation.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @golproductions/check@4.2.0.

- Avoid installing @golproductions/check@4.2.0. 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.
