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 browser runtime downloads a third-party JavaScript response and evaluates it. This gives that remote endpoint code execution in every application that reaches the WOFF2 font-loading path. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-15T19:04:35.025Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-15T19:05:45.097Z - **Download time:** 767 ms - **Static scan time:** 25023 ms - **AI review time:** 44281 ms - **Total time:** 70072 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

This gives that remote endpoint code execution in every application that reaches the WOFF2 font-loading path. - **Trigger:** An application using the library loads a WOFF2 font asset. - **Impact:** A changed or compromised remote response can run arbitrary JavaScript in the consuming application's browser context. - **Evidence paths:** dist/shotstack-studio.es.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-15T19:05:45.097Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Fetch remote JavaScript and execute it with Function. - **Attack narrative:** When the font loader handles a WOFF2 asset, it requests a JavaScript file from unpkg.com, appends a return statement, and passes the response to the Function constructor. The returned module is then initialized and used as the decompressor. Because the downloaded text is neither packaged nor integrity-pinned before execution, control of that remote response yields arbitrary script execution in the consumer's browser context. - **Rationale:** The package contains a reachable remote-code loader that executes unverified network content. This is a concrete remote code execution surface despite the absence of install-time hooks. - **Files touched:** dist/shotstack-studio.es.js - **Network endpoints:** https://unpkg.com/wawoff2@2.0.1/build/decompress\_binding.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The runtime fetches JavaScript from unpkg.com and executes the returned text with the Function constructor., The loader runs when a WOFF2 font is loaded, so a remote response controls code in the host page. - **Evidence against:** The package manifest has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The observed remote loader is limited to the browser font-loading path; no local credential harvesting or shell execution was found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @shotstack/shotstack-studio@2.19.4. - Avoid installing @shotstack/shotstack-studio@2.19.4. 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.
