The fetched code is outside this reviewed package snapshot and is not version-pinned. - **Trigger:** Any normal vg or vibgrate CLI invocation without --local or --offline. - **Impact:** A registry-controlled future @vibgrate/haile release can execute with the invoking user’s permissions. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/cli.js, dist/chunk-YVLVZK4W.js, dist/chunk-REYXILOS.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-11T15:25:36.900Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Automatic remote module download followed by dynamic JavaScript import. - **Attack narrative:** After installation, a routine CLI invocation calls kickHaileReadiness. If the cache has no module, it retrieves the latest @vibgrate/haile package from the npm registry, extracts its dist files into the user cache, and records the chosen version. Later code dynamically imports the cached index.js. Because the package is fetched outside npm dependency resolution, has no pinned version, and runs automatically, a later registry release becomes executable code in the user context without an explicit module-install command. - **Rationale:** The package contains a complete automatic remote-code acquisition and dynamic-execution path on normal CLI use. Integrity validation does not mitigate the unpinned trust in mutable registry metadata and tarball content. - **Files touched:** dist/cli.js, dist/chunk-YVLVZK4W.js, dist/chunk-REYXILOS.js, ~/.cache/vibgrate/modules/haile/index.js - **Network endpoints:** registry.npmjs.org ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The CLI automatically starts a module-readiness task on ordinary invocations., That task downloads the latest @vibgrate/haile release when absent, without a version pin or user prompt., Downloaded files are written to a cache and dynamically imported as executable JavaScript., The manifest exposes this behavior through the installed CLI binary and also has a postinstall hook. - **Evidence against:** The remote tarball is checked against integrity metadata before extraction., The installer rejects archive paths that escape its module directory., The package’s cloud credential handling is tied to explicit login and push commands, not shown to run automatically. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @vibgrate/cli@2026.910.3. - Avoid installing @vibgrate/cli@2026.910.3. 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.
