Advisory
MAL-2026-18364
Source
OpenSSF Malicious Packages via OSV
Summary
Malicious code in @zaip-ai/cli (npm)
Details
Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.

Independent LPM AI assessment
Manual ReviewIndependent AI assessment: manual_review. LPM AI review remains unresolved.
The package has no npm install hook, and the inspected doctor and hook-related source does not establish malicious behavior. The shipped executable remains materially unresolved because offline analysis failed, so a clean verdict is not supported.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source
Trigger
A user may open the executable from the installed design-system template on Windows.
Impact
Unknown; the available evidence does not establish whether the executable performs harmful actions.
Mechanism
The available offline analysis could not inspect the executable, and the inspected source did not resolve its runtime behavior.
AI rationale
The package has no npm install hook, and the inspected doctor and hook-related source does not establish malicious behavior. The shipped executable remains materially unresolved because offline analysis failed, so a clean verdict is not supported.

Independent scan evidence
public snapshotAI called this Manual Review at 62.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.
AI review observations
- The manifest exposes an explicit CLI and has no install lifecycle hook; the unsupported executable artifact remains unresolved.
- The doctor command checks project layout and managed-file checksums; it does not establish the behavior of the shipped executable.
- The hook-related target excerpts inspected are test fixtures, configuration path lists, or transcript-path validation; they do not establish an attack.
- The offline artifact analysis could not inspect the executable, so its behavior cannot be cleared from source inspection.
Evidence against
- The package’s Windows Git setup checks the downloaded archive against a SHA-256 digest before extracting it.
