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 lifecycle hook performs broad, unconsented writes in the installing project and repeats them from a detached process. This is concrete install-time project mutation, so the package should be blocked. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 97.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-12T00:40:19.146Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-12T00:40:39.060Z - **Download time:** 503 ms - **Static scan time:** 58 ms - **AI review time:** 19352 ms - **Total time:** 19914 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 postinstall hook changes the installing project by copying template files and replacing its package.json. It also starts a detached process to repeat setup after installation. - **Trigger:** Installing the package through a package manager that runs its postinstall hook. - **Impact:** Consumer project files and configuration can be unexpectedly added or overwritten. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, scripts/delayed-setup.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-12T00:40:39.060Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook targets INIT\_CWD, PWD, or the current directory, copies package files, then writes a rebuilt package.json and schedules delayed setup. - **Attack narrative:** During installation, the package's postinstall hook targets the consumer project. It copies source and template files, rewrites package.json, and launches a detached delayed setup process. This is an automatic mutation of the consumer project without a consent guard in the inspected hook. - **Rationale:** The lifecycle hook performs broad, unconsented writes in the installing project and repeats them from a detached process. This is concrete install-time project mutation, so the package should be blocked. - **Files touched:** src, tsconfig.json, .env, .gitignore, .prettierrc, README.md, package.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** package.json runs scripts/postinstall.js automatically after installation., The hook targets the invoking project directory and runs setup when it differs from the package directory., Setup copies package files into the consumer project and rewrites its package.json., The hook starts a detached process to repeat setup after the package manager finishes. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @yes20sh/ts-node-express@1.0.7. - Avoid installing @yes20sh/ts-node-express@1.0.7. 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. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts.

Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review - **Category:** Artifact Inventory - **Confidence:** 70.0% Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean. ### 9. High: Previous Version Dangerous Delta - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Path:** scripts/postinstall.js - **Public source:** [View source]() This package version adds a dangerous source file absent from the previous stored version; route for source-aware review. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript matchType = previous_version_dangerous_delta matchedPackage = @yes20sh/ts-node-express@1.0.5 matchedIdentity = npm:[redacted]:1.0.5 similarity = 0.957 summary = stored previous version shares package body but lacks this dangerous source file ``` ### 10. High: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() package.json runs scripts/postinstall.js automatically after installation. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json "scripts": { "build": "tsc", "prepublishOnly": "npm run build", "postinstall": "node scripts/postinstall.js", "start": "node dist/server.js", "dev": "tsx watc ``` ### 11. High: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Path:** scripts/postinstall.js - **Public source:** [View source]() The hook targets the invoking project directory and runs setup when it differs from the package directory.
