LPM AI assessed this version as suspicious; the assessments disagree. Independent AI assessment: suspicious. LPM AI assessed this version as suspicious; 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:** 97.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-02T06:37:53.609Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-02T06:38:24.618Z - **Download time:** 814 ms - **Static scan time:** 9 ms - **AI review time:** 30185 ms - **Total time:** 31009 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:** An install hook creates a marker file in the installer's working directory without an explicit request. - **Trigger:** Package installation runs the preinstall script. - **Impact:** Modifies the project or installation working directory and can leave an unexpected file; no data transmission was identified. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, preinstall.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-02T06:38:24.618Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The script writes \`DEPENDENCY\_CONFUSION\_POC\_MARKER.txt\` under \`process.cwd()\`, with a timestamp and research notice. - **Rationale:** The automatic hook makes an unsolicited filesystem change outside the package by writing a marker into the installer's working directory. Its stated research purpose and lack of network activity reduce the risk, but the install-time project modification warrants a warning. - **Files touched:** process.cwd()/DEPENDENCY\_CONFUSION\_POC\_MARKER.txt ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for AI warning decision:** The package runs \`node preinstall.js\` automatically during installation., The preinstall script writes a timestamped marker file into the installer's current working directory., The package entry point exports an empty object and has no import-time behavior. - **Evidence against:** The script says it collects no data and makes no network request; no network endpoints are present in the inspected source., The manifest describes the package as a security-research placeholder published for an authorized bug-bounty submission. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @mobile-platform/magnetic-components@0.0.2. - Avoid installing @mobile-platform/magnetic-components@0.0.2. 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.
