OpenSSF Malicious Packages via OSV

Summary

Malicious code in agentic-awesome-skills (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 Review

Independent AI assessment: manual_review. LPM AI review remains unresolved.

The inspected source does not establish malicious behavior: the credential-bearing examples address their intended services and the installer is an explicitly invoked CLI. However, the required theme-showcase PDF is binary and unavailable as UTF-8 source, so the required clean review coverage remains unresolved.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.

Trigger

Use of the package CLI or its individually invoked reference scripts.

Impact

No concrete malicious effect was verified, but the unreadable required PDF prevents a clean verdict under the review requirements.

Mechanism

The checked scripts perform package or service-specific tasks; the inspected API examples use their corresponding service endpoints.

Independent scan evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Manual Review at 77.0% confidence as Unknown with medium false-positive risk.

AI review observations

The manifest exposes CLI entrypoints, but the inspected Apify and Hugging Face examples send credentials only to their corresponding services.
The required PDF is binary and cannot be verified as UTF-8 source; required clean citation coverage therefore remains incomplete.
The inspected installer entrypoint runs only when invoked directly.

Evidence against

The Apify runner sends its token to api.apify.com for an actor run.
The Hugging Face example sends HF_TOKEN to huggingface.co/api/models.
The Fedora test script describes a non-destructive test runner.
