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. Installing the package fetches an opaque native archive from a fixed remote IP with certificate validation disabled. The archive becomes an executable that the CLI launcher runs. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-16T02:34:17.083Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-16T02:35:06.510Z - **Download time:** 254 ms - **Static scan time:** 49 ms - **AI review time:** 49123 ms - **Total time:** 49427 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

The archive becomes an executable that the CLI launcher runs. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall during package installation, followed by invoking onecode. - **Impact:** A network attacker or remote host operator can supply arbitrary native code to package installers. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.mjs, platform-bootstrap.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-16T02:35:06.510Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Unverified install-time native payload download and execution. - **Attack narrative:** The postinstall hook calls the bootstrapper automatically. On a missing platform binary, it downloads a versioned tarball from a fixed IP address using HTTPS with certificate checks disabled, follows redirects, extracts it with tar, installs it under node\_modules, and makes its binary executable. The launcher then executes that downloaded binary. Since no archive integrity check is present, the remote service or an on-path attacker can replace the installed executable. - **Rationale:** This is an automatic lifecycle delivery chain for opaque native code from an unverified remote source, with TLS verification explicitly disabled. It creates a concrete install-time arbitrary-code execution surface. - **Files touched:** postinstall.mjs, platform-bootstrap.mjs, bin/.onecode, node\_modules/onecode-linux-x64/bin/onecode, .platform-bootstrap-work, .platform-version - **Network endpoints:** https://218.90.133.98:4443/onecode\_tgz ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The npm postinstall hook automatically invokes the bootstrapper., The bootstrapper downloads a platform archive from a fixed IP address while disabling TLS certificate verification., The downloaded archive is extracted, moved into node\_modules, marked executable, and launched by the package launcher., No checksum, signature, or other integrity verification is applied to the remote archive. - **Evidence against:** The inspected JavaScript does not itself harvest credentials or exfiltrate local data., The visible filesystem changes are scoped to the package installation directory and its node\_modules subtree. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @onescience/onecode@1.14.50-202609161027. - Avoid installing @onescience/onecode@1.14.50-202609161027. 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.
