Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — Consumers lose the GUI library at startup with no explanatory error, starting in 2027. No file writes or network exfiltration were found in that path. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Protestware - **Selected version:** 1.8.0 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **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. Importing the package evaluates an obfuscated bundle that contains a hidden calendar gate. Once the local year is after 2026, module initialization throws an empty error and the library fails to load. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-26T01:18:44.783Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-26T01:19:51.286Z - **Download time:** 506 ms - **Static scan time:** 242 ms - **AI review time:** 65754 ms - **Total time:** 66503 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

Once the local year is after 2026, module initialization throws an empty error and the library fails to load. - **Trigger:** Import or require of the package entrypoint when the system year is greater than 2026. - **Impact:** Consumers lose the GUI library at startup with no explanatory error, starting in 2027. No file writes or network exfiltration were found in that path. - **Evidence paths:** dist/index.obf.js, package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-26T01:19:51.286Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The UMD factory compares new Date().getFullYear() with 0x7ea and throws new Error('') before returning exports. - **Attack narrative:** The published entry is an obfuscated script. On load it builds the GUI exports, then checks the current year. If that year is after 2026 it throws a blank error and aborts, so any app that imports the package stops initializing. There is no install hook, secret theft, or extra payload; the harm is a concealed time gate that breaks dependents. - **Rationale:** The runtime bundle hides a year check that throws an empty error after 2026 and aborts module initialization, which is a concrete protestware time bomb. No install hook or data theft was found, but the gate is active on ordinary import and is enough to block publication. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** package.json sets both main and module to the obfuscated bundle dist/index.obf.js, so a normal import evaluates that file., Near the end of the bundle factory, if Date.getFullYear() is greater than hexadecimal 0x7ea (decimal 2026), the code throws an empty Error and never returns the module exports., The year check sits in the runtime factory with a blank message and is not described as a license or user-facing expiry. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., Searches found no child\_process, eval, fetch, cookies, or credential reads., The only URL is the public CodeMirror CDN loaded when the code editor asks for scripts. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @tomaso909/jsguitools@1.8.0. - Avoid installing @tomaso909/jsguitools@1.8.0. 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.
