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. Opening the HTML publisher and clicking Publish sends an NPM bearer token and selected package contents through an unaffiliated Cloudflare Worker. The bundled token makes credential compromise immediately actionable. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-14T03:44:36.403Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-14T03:45:26.894Z - **Download time:** 752 ms - **Static scan time:** 21 ms - **AI review time:** 49718 ms - **Total time:** 50491 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

The bundled token makes credential compromise immediately actionable. - **Trigger:** A user opens index.html, selects a file, and clicks Publish. - **Impact:** The Worker operator can capture the token and uploaded package data, then publish, alter, or take over packages authorized by that token. - **Evidence paths:** index.html, app.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-14T03:45:26.894Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Credential and file forwarding through a third-party proxy. - **Attack narrative:** The package presents a package-publishing form with a prefilled NPM credential. In ordinary web use it routes the publish request through a Cloudflare Worker and includes the bearer token in the request headers. It also serializes the selected file or ZIP contents into the request payload. This gives the Worker operator both the credential and package data before any intended npm registry operation. - **Rationale:** This is a concrete credential-exfiltration path disguised as an npm publisher, reinforced by an embedded NPM credential. The lack of lifecycle hooks does not mitigate the malicious behavior once the packaged browser entry point is opened. - **Files touched:** index.html, app.js, package.json - **Network endpoints:** https://dawn-salad-6ee1.vihaanb0715.workers.dev, https://registry.npmjs.org ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The HTML pre-populates the NPM token field with a credential., In normal browser use, publishing is routed through a third-party Cloudflare Worker rather than directly to npm., The publish request sends the NPM bearer token to that Worker., The selected archive or file is encoded and included in the same request payload., The HTML pre-populates the NPM authentication-token field with a credential. - **Evidence against:** There are no npm lifecycle hooks or install-time scripts., The code is a user-invoked browser publisher rather than automatic import-time code. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @vbansal67/npm-publishinginginginginging@1.0.0. - Avoid installing @vbansal67/npm-publishinginginginginging@1.0.0. 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.
