Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — The user's AWS account and SES capacity are used for a publisher-branded service that is not disclosed as part of generic deployment, with potential cost and email reputation impact. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Malware - **Selected version:** 0.75.357 - **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 deploy workflow embeds a Stacks-branded email service that uses the deployer's AWS SES capacity without disclosing that publisher-specific use. The behavior is in an explicit deploy subpath rather than the package's main import, but importing that module launches the workflow. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-29T04:16:30.477Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-29T04:17:25.594Z - **Download time:** 260 ms - **Static scan time:** 631 ms - **AI review time:** 54226 ms - **Total time:** 55117 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 deploy module embeds a Stacks-branded subscription service that sends mail through SES in the deploying user's AWS account. - **Trigger:** Importing the deploy subpath runs the deployment workflow; afterward, a POST to the deployed subscription endpoint triggers the email. - **Impact:** The user's AWS account and SES capacity are used for a publisher-branded service that is not disclosed as part of generic deployment, with potential cost and email reputation impact. - **Evidence paths:** dist/deploy/index.js, package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-29T04:17:25.594Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The generated server stores submitted addresses and uses SES to send a welcome message from hello@stacksjs.com, consuming the user's AWS resources for publisher-branded mail. - **Attack narrative:** The deploy module provisions a server that accepts subscription POSTs, stores the supplied addresses, and sends Stacks-branded welcome emails through SES using the deployer's AWS account. This gives the publisher an undisclosed mail service backed by the user's cloud resources. - **Rationale:** The deploy workflow embeds a Stacks-branded email service that uses the deployer's AWS SES capacity without disclosing that publisher-specific use. The behavior is in an explicit deploy subpath rather than the package's main import, but importing that module launches the workflow. - **Files touched:** dist/deploy/index.js, /var/www/api/stacks.db - **Network endpoints:** https://stacksjs.com (linked in the welcome email) ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The deploy module loads AWS credentials from environment variables or project .env files., The deploy workflow uses AWS clients to deploy a server to the user's cloud account., That server sends email from hello@stacksjs.com through SES., A POST to the server's subscription endpoint stores the submitted address and triggers the welcome email. - **Evidence against:** The only lifecycle script is prepublishOnly, which builds the package and is not an install hook., The AWS credential use occurs in deployment code, not in the main package entrypoint., The email is triggered by a subscription POST rather than sent during package installation. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @stacksjs/actions@0.75.357. - Avoid installing @stacksjs/actions@0.75.357. 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.
