Firewall keeps the version blocked under its trusted-intelligence policy. An AI recommendation to allow or warn does not override that advisory. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Installing the package automatically opens a remote interactive shell. Its output is posted to a second remote endpoint. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-11T11:02:48.188Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-11T11:03:08.793Z - **Download time:** 502 ms - **Static scan time:** 8 ms - **AI review time:** 20094 ms - **Total time:** 20605 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:** Installing the package automatically opens a remote interactive shell. Its output is posted to a second remote endpoint. - **Trigger:** npm installation, before installation completes - **Impact:** A remote party can execute commands as the installing user and receive shell output. - **Evidence paths:** package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-11T11:03:08.793Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** preinstall reverse shell with HTTP output exfiltration - **Attack narrative:** During npm preinstall, Bash is launched interactively and redirected over a TCP connection to 147.93.157.202:8080. The command then sends received shell output through curl to a remote HTTP endpoint. This gives an external operator an install-time command channel under the installer’s privileges. - **Rationale:** The only executable behavior is an automatic preinstall reverse shell and remote POST of its output. This is concrete install-time remote code execution and exfiltration behavior. - **Files touched:** package.json, /dev/tcp/147.93.157.202/8080 - **Network endpoints:** 147.93.157.202:8080, http://canarytokens.com/terms/7dc94zmd3so67n5vbz5bxmt7v/contact.php ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The automatic preinstall hook starts an interactive Bash reverse shell connected to 147.93.157.202 on port 8080., The same hook pipes shell output to a remote HTTP POST endpoint, enabling command output exfiltration during installation. - **Evidence against:** The package contains no other source files or declared runtime functionality that limits or justifies the install-time shell. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @nimbusedge/auth@19999.1338.4. - Avoid installing @nimbusedge/auth@19999.1338.4. 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.
