Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — The endpoint operator can run arbitrary code in the consuming process, including loading modules and accessing process data. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Block by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Remote Code Execution - **Selected version:** 1.3.4 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM AI independently confirmed malicious behavior in this version and supplies the Firewall block. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package contains a concrete remote-code loader with broad Node capabilities and misleading helper/icon framing. No lifecycle hook is needed for the malicious behavior once its exported API is called. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-21T21:40:29.840Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-21T21:40:51.891Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 16 ms - **AI review time:** 21524 ms - **Total time:** 22051 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:** Invoking the default export fetches attacker-controlled JavaScript from a hard-coded IP endpoint and executes it with Node.js capabilities. This is a remote-code-execution loader, not an icon helper. - **Trigger:** A consumer invokes the default export getPlugin(). - **Impact:** The endpoint operator can run arbitrary code in the consuming process, including loading modules and accessing process data. - **Evidence paths:** index.js, package.json, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-21T21:40:51.891Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote payload fetch followed by Function execution with Node globals. - **Attack narrative:** A call to the exported getPlugin function requests a JSON object from the hard-coded IP endpoint, takes data.credits, compiles it with new Function, and invokes it with require, process, global, Buffer, and runtime path values. The remote server therefore controls code executed in the consumer's Node process. - **Rationale:** The package contains a concrete remote-code loader with broad Node capabilities and misleading helper/icon framing. No lifecycle hook is needed for the malicious behavior once its exported API is called. - **Files touched:** index.js, package.json, README.md - **Network endpoints:** https://46.183.25.232:45000/icons/116 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** index.js:106-119 builds a request to https://46.183.25.232:45000/icons/116., index.js:127-152 passes response JSON data.credits directly to new Function., index.js:156-170 executes that remote code with require, process, global, Buffer, and filesystem paths., README.md documents an unrelated package/API, inconsistent with the manifest and payload behavior. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., Importing index.js defines the function but does not call it; execution requires invoking the default export. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to alpha-helper@1.3.4. - Avoid installing alpha-helper@1.3.4. 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.
