Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — A release/asset compromise can execute arbitrary code as the installing user. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Remote Code Execution - **Selected version:** 1.0.0 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. 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. The package performs automatic execution of a mutable remote binary at install time, with optional same-origin checksum validation. That is a concrete install-time remote payload execution surface. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 97.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-21T22:17:09.966Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-21T22:17:26.988Z - **Download time:** 753 ms - **Static scan time:** 28 ms - **AI review time:** 16241 ms - **Total time:** 17022 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 downloads a remotely selected executable and runs it automatically. The source provides no pinned artifact or mandatory trustworthy verification. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall - **Impact:** A release/asset compromise can execute arbitrary code as the installing user. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, install.js, bin/prov.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-21T22:17:26.988Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** remote binary download and install-time execution - **Attack narrative:** During postinstall, install.js requests the latest release metadata, follows asset URLs supplied by that response, saves the selected platform binary under bin/, marks it executable, then runs it with \`version\`. Checksum verification is optional and its checksum is fetched from the same mutable release source. This creates an unconsented install-time remote-code-execution path if the release or delivery path is compromised. - **Rationale:** The package performs automatic execution of a mutable remote binary at install time, with optional same-origin checksum validation. That is a concrete install-time remote payload execution surface. - **Files touched:** package.json, install.js, bin/prov, bin/prov.exe - **Network endpoints:** https://api.github.com/repos/devup-io/provenly-releases/releases/latest ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** package.json runs \`node install.js\` in postinstall., install.js fetches the latest GitHub release, not a pinned artifact., install.js writes the downloaded executable to bin/prov and chmods it., install.js executes that downloaded binary during postinstall., Checksum verification is skipped when checksums.txt is absent or unavailable. - **Evidence against:** No credential harvesting or unrelated file access appears in the JavaScript wrapper., bin/prov.js only forwards explicit CLI arguments to the installed binary. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @provenly/cli@1.0.0. - Avoid installing @provenly/cli@1.0.0. 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.
