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. On npm install, postinstall downloads an unverified native tarball from a raw IP over HTTPS with certificate checks turned off, extracts it, and installs an executable plus asset symlinks. The CLI launcher then runs that dropped binary. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 95.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-17T09:39:11.652Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-17T09:41:02.559Z - **Download time:** 502 ms - **Static scan time:** 43 ms - **AI review time:** 110362 ms - **Total time:** 110907 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

The CLI launcher then runs that dropped binary. - **Trigger:** npm install runs the postinstall script automatically. - **Impact:** arbitrary code execution as the installing user when the dropped binary is linked and later spawned - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.mjs, platform-bootstrap.mjs, bin/onecode - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-17T09:41:02.559Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** unverified remote native payload install via postinstall - **Attack narrative:** Installing this package runs postinstall.mjs, which calls ensurePlatformBinary. That function downloads a tarball from https://218.90.133.98:4443 with TLS certificate verification disabled, extracts it with tar, chmod 755 the binary, hardlinks it to bin/.onecode, and symlinks .opencode and .oneskills. There is no integrity check, no optionalDependencies fallback, and the URL always names a linux-x64 archive. bin/onecode then spawns that cached binary, so install time yields unconsented remote payload execution. - **Rationale:** The postinstall hook downloads and installs an unverified native binary from a raw IP with TLS verification disabled, then the CLI launcher executes it. That is a concrete unconsented install-time remote payload chain, not package-aligned setup. - **Files touched:** bin/.onecode, .opencode, .oneskills, .platform-version, .platform-bootstrap-work, node\_modules/onecode-linux-x64 - **Network endpoints:** https://218.90.133.98:4443/onecode\_tgz ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** package.json runs node ./postinstall.mjs automatically on npm install., postinstall.mjs always calls ensurePlatformBinary, which downloads when no local platform binary is present., platform-bootstrap.mjs fetches a tarball from the hardcoded host https://218.90.133.98:4443 with HTTPS certificate verification disabled., The download URL always names onecode-linux-x64-${version}.tgz, with no checksum or signature check., The archive is extracted with tar, the binary is chmod 755, hardlinked to bin/.onecode, and .opencode/.oneskills are symlinked., bin/onecode then spawns bin/.onecode or a discovered platform binary, executing the dropped payload. - **Evidence against:** JavaScript sources do not harvest credentials, read secrets, or eval user input., bin/onecode is a spawn wrapper and package.json describes a terminal coding-agent CLI., ensurePlatformBinary returns early on Windows and does not download there. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @onescience/onecode@1.14.50-202609171732. - Avoid installing @onescience/onecode@1.14.50-202609171732. 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.
