OpenSSF Malicious Packages via OSV

Summary

Malicious code in @znan/wabot (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

Suspicious

Independent AI assessment: suspicious. LPM AI assessed this version as suspicious; the assessments disagree.

No concrete malware behavior is established, but pervasive opaque runtime code plus dynamic execution and child-process access leaves a material unresolved risk. Warn rather than block because there is no lifecycle execution or verified malicious action.

Static reason

No blocking static signals were detected.

Trigger

Importing the package or invoking its exported bot utilities.

Impact

Potential arbitrary local execution cannot be ruled out; no concrete malicious chain was confirmed.

Mechanism

Obfuscated runtime code with dynamic global access and child-process capability.

AI rationale

Evidence

package.jsonindex.jslib/system/converter.jslib/database/local.jslib/socket/connection.js

Independent scan evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 88.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for AI warning decision

All lib/*.js runtime modules are heavily obfuscated.
Obfuscation bootstrap invokes new Function in runtime modules.
lib/system/converter.js imports child_process.
Source maps name original TS files but contain no sourcesContent.

Evidence against

package.json has no lifecycle scripts or bin entrypoint.
index.js imports bot/database utilities and reads ./config.json.
README documents WhatsApp bot, plugin, session, and database APIs.
No concrete exfiltration endpoint or destructive action was statically confirmed.
