LPM AI assessed this version as clean; the assessments disagree. Independent AI assessment: clean. LPM AI assessed this version as clean; the assessments disagree. OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-18448 confirms this npm version as malicious. @mobile-platform/magnetic-components is a dependency-confusion package: its description says the scoped name is referenced in the Meraki Dashboard Android app's bundled JavaScript and was unclaimed on the public registry, so a build that resolves \`@mobile-platform\` from npm runs its code instead of the intended private package. Its preinstall script runs \`node preinstall.js\` on npm install; in 0.0.1 and 0.0.2 it... ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-02T06:37:52.997Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-02T06:38:40.285Z - **Download time:** 818 ms - **Static scan time:** 9 ms - **AI review time:** 46461 ms - **Total time:** 47288 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:** No attack was identified; the install hook writes a local proof-of-install marker. - **Trigger:** npm install, through the preinstall lifecycle script. - **Impact:** Adds a marker file to the project directory. No credential access, exfiltration, or other harmful behavior was identified. - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-02T06:38:40.285Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Writes DEPENDENCY\_CONFUSION\_POC\_MARKER.txt in the installer's current directory with a timestamp; the hook reports no network request or data collection. - **Rationale:** The install hook's stated proof-of-concept behavior matches its implementation: it writes a local marker and identifies no data collection or network activity. The import entry point is empty, so the reviewed source does not show malicious behavior. - **Files touched:** DEPENDENCY\_CONFUSION\_POC\_MARKER.txt (in the installer's current directory) ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest describes the package as a security research placeholder and says it makes no network requests., The preinstall hook writes a timestamped marker file in the installer's current directory; its source says no data is collected or transmitted., The package entry point exports an empty object. - **Evidence against:** The preinstall hook runs automatically and creates DEPENDENCY\_CONFUSION\_POC\_MARKER.txt in the project directory. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @mobile-platform/magnetic-components@0.0.1. - Avoid installing @mobile-platform/magnetic-components@0.0.1. 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.
