LPM AI review remains unresolved. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Trusted malware advisory block - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Malware - **Selected version:** 7.1.0 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** OpenSSF/OSV Malicious Advisory (OpenSSF/OSV) 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 82.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-28T21:32:01.277Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-28T21:33:22.620Z - **Download time:** 3559 ms - **Static scan time:** 1038 ms - **AI review time:** 76746 ms - **Total time:** 81343 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:** No attack is confirmed. The package ships a Windows launcher whose behavior remains unresolved because offline analysis could not inspect the executable. - **Trigger:** The explicit \`init\` command installs the template; opening the launcher on Windows activates it. - **Impact:** The launcher’s effects remain unknown; source inspection did not establish a harmful effect. - **Evidence paths:** templates/.agents/design/design-system-maker/zaip-design-system-maker.exe, .lpm-inspection-z5C73a/0-98b39bfeacf7.txt - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-28T21:33:22.620Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The README says the launcher starts a hidden runtime, but its executable behavior could not be established from the available inspection. - **Rationale:** The launcher is shipped for explicit user activation, but its executable behavior could not be inspected because the offline analyzer does not support its format. Since that leaves material behavior unresolved, manual review is appropriate without claiming a confirmed attack. - **Files touched:** templates/.agents/design/design-system-maker/zaip-design-system-maker.exe ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 82.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** The manifest lists build, clean, typecheck, template sync, and prepack scripts; \`init\` is an explicit CLI command, with no install lifecycle hook shown., The template manifest includes the Windows launcher as a binary, and its README says to open it on Windows; the offline analysis could not inspect its executable behavior., The offline analysis reports a 12,800-byte artifact and an unsupported executable format, leaving the launcher’s behavior unresolved., The agent-related source matches were inspected: they concern Codex setup or activation and test or fixture code; the setup template checks for a host session transcript., The doctor source was inspected alongside its scanner finding; no source-established attack behavior was confirmed. - **Evidence against:** The package source does not establish malicious behavior by the launcher., The README describes the launcher as user-opened and starting a hidden runtime, but that description does not resolve the executable’s behavior. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @zaip-ai/cli@7.1.0. - Avoid installing @zaip-ai/cli@7.1.0. 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.
