OpenSSF/OSV malware advisory MAL-2026-18364 identifies this version as malicious and supplies the Firewall block. LPM AI review remains unresolved.

Independent AI assessment: manual\_review. LPM AI review remains unresolved.

OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-18364 confirms this npm version as malicious. 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.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** No concrete attack was established in the inspected JavaScript source. The shipped design-system executable could not be analyzed, leaving its behavior unresolved.

- **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.

- **Evidence paths:** .lpm-inspection-A3sFcH/0-98b39bfeacf7.txt

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-28T21:33:22.620Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The available offline analysis could not inspect the executable, and the inspected source did not resolve its runtime behavior.

- **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.

- **Files touched:** templates/.agents/design/design-system-maker/zaip-design-system-maker.exe

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Manual Review

- **Confidence:** 62.0%

- **Recommended action:** manual\_review

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **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.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @zaip-ai/cli@6.5.0.

- Avoid installing @zaip-ai/cli@6.5.0. 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.
