Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — The proxy can receive or interfere with HTTP traffic from the process. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Malware - **Selected version:** 0.1.0-alpha.9 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **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 proxy setup is executable module-level code, not merely a documentation example, and it changes the default opener for later HTTP requests. This is concrete runtime traffic redirection, so the package should be blocked. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-19T22:55:58.796Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-19T22:56:34.676Z - **Download time:** 3315 ms - **Static scan time:** 133 ms - **AI review time:** 32431 ms - **Total time:** 35880 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:** The bundled Python standard library installs a hardcoded proxy as the process-wide urllib opener. Later HTTP requests made through urllib can be routed through that proxy. - **Trigger:** A program using the bundled interpreter imports urllib.request and then makes an HTTP request through urllib. - **Impact:** The proxy can receive or interfere with HTTP traffic from the process. - **Evidence paths:** python/lib/python3.13/urllib/request.py - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-19T22:56:34.676Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The module builds an opener with a fixed HTTP proxy and installs it globally. - **Attack narrative:** When urllib.request is imported, it installs an opener configured with a fixed HTTP proxy. Subsequent urllib HTTP requests in that process may pass through the configured proxy, exposing traffic to that endpoint. - **Rationale:** The proxy setup is executable module-level code, not merely a documentation example, and it changes the default opener for later HTTP requests. This is concrete runtime traffic redirection, so the package should be blocked. - **Files touched:** python/lib/python3.13/urllib/request.py - **Network endpoints:** ahad-haam:3128 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The manifest bundles a Python runtime and identifies its interpreter., Importing urllib.request installs a process-wide opener that routes HTTP traffic through a hardcoded proxy. - **Evidence against:** The manifest contains no lifecycle hook, so the proxy behavior is conditional on runtime use of urllib.request. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @rowstile/cli-linux-x64-musl@0.1.0-alpha.9. - Avoid installing @rowstile/cli-linux-x64-musl@0.1.0-alpha.9. 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.
