Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. A WOFF2 font load causes a bundle to fetch a remote JavaScript decompressor and execute it. This establishes a runtime remote-code execution supply-chain surface. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-29T23:54:55.519Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-29T23:56:23.717Z - **Download time:** 2818 ms - **Static scan time:** 27039 ms - **AI review time:** 58340 ms - **Total time:** 88198 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:** A WOFF2 font load causes a bundle to fetch a remote JavaScript decompressor and execute it. This establishes a runtime remote-code execution supply-chain surface. - **Trigger:** Loading a WOFF2 font through the package font loader. - **Impact:** A compromised, substituted, or otherwise unsafe response from that endpoint can execute code in the consuming application's browser context. - **Evidence paths:** dist/internal.es.js, dist/internal.umd.js, dist/shotstack-studio.es.js, dist/shotstack-studio.umd.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-29T23:56:23.717Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The loader fetches decompressor\_binding.js from unpkg.com, converts the response to text, appends a return expression, and passes it to the Function constructor. - **Rationale:** The package contains a concrete remote-code execution path in every published runtime bundle. It is a supply-chain vulnerability, not evidence of covert malware intent. - **Network endpoints:** https://unpkg.com/wawoff2@2.0.1/build/decompress\_binding.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Critical Vulnerability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for warning:** The package exposes ES and UMD entry bundles for both its main and internal exports., All four exported bundles download JavaScript from unpkg.com and execute the returned text with the Function constructor., The downloader is reached when the font loader handles a WOFF2 font, so this is runtime remote code execution rather than inert data. - **Evidence against:** No npm preinstall, install, or postinstall hook is declared., The indicated plugin setup locations implement a Lottie expressions plugin, not AI-agent configuration. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @shotstack/shotstack-studio@2.23.2. - Review the evidence and your use of @shotstack/shotstack-studio@2.23.2 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
