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:** 7.3.0 - **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:** 76.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-28T21:32:38.455Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-28T21:33:22.620Z - **Download time:** 2280 ms - **Static scan time:** 1140 ms - **AI review time:** 40744 ms - **Total time:** 44165 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 package ships a Windows design-maker executable in its project template, but its behavior could not be resolved from inspected source. - **Trigger:** A user runs the CLI setup that installs the project template and later launches the design maker. - **Impact:** The executable's effects remain unverified, so a malicious attack was not established or ruled out. - **Evidence paths:** templates/.agents/design/design-system-maker/zaip-design-system-maker.exe, templates/.agents/design/.zaip-managed.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-28T21:33:22.620Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The template manifest includes the executable; the inspected launcher source starts a Node server, but does not establish the executable's behavior. - **Rationale:** Source inspection found no confirmed attack in the reviewed CLI and launcher paths. The shipped Windows executable is opaque binary data and remains unresolved, so this package requires manual review. - **Files touched:** templates/.agents/design/design-system-maker/zaip-design-system-maker.exe ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Manual Review - **Confidence:** 76.0% - **Recommended action:** manual\_review - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **AI review observations:** The package exposes a CLI and library entrypoints through compiled files., The doctor command calls the project validation function; its inspected source lists project files for checks., A shipped design manifest includes a Windows executable and its checksum., The inspected launcher starts a project-local Node server. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @zaip-ai/cli@7.3.0. - Avoid installing @zaip-ai/cli@7.3.0. 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.
