Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** The development-server HMR client executes fetched response text as JavaScript. A css-update message activates this path. - **Trigger:** A page receiving a nimbus-hmr css-update message. - **Impact:** JavaScript from the selected response can run in the served page's origin. - **Evidence paths:** dist/facets/vite-dev-server.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-20T02:48:41.832Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Unvalidated message-triggered fetch followed by dynamic JavaScript execution. - **Attack narrative:** The package injects an HMR client that handles window messages without an origin check. For css-update it reads a data-vite-dev-id attribute, fetches that value, converts the response to text, and evaluates it with new Function. This is a direct remote-response execution sink in the browser-facing development server. - **Rationale:** The fetch-to-new-Function chain is concrete and reachable through an unvalidated message event. Although there is no install hook, the runtime behavior warrants blocking. - **Files touched:** dist/facets/vite-dev-server.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The injected HMR client accepts a nimbus-hmr message without checking the sender origin., On a css-update message, it fetches a URL derived from a DOM attribute and passes the response text directly to new Function for execution. - **Evidence against:** The manifest has no npm preinstall, install, or postinstall hook. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @nimbus-sh/worker@0.8.0. - Avoid installing @nimbus-sh/worker@0.8.0. 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. ## Public findings ### 1.
