LPM AI assessed this version as clean; the assessments disagree. Independent AI assessment: clean. LPM AI assessed this version as clean; the assessments disagree. OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-15498 confirms this npm version as malicious. package.json declares a dependency whose key equals the package's own name (aws-blog) and whose value is the bare HTTPS URL https://repo.securityctrl.com/aws-blog rather than a registry version range. On npm install, npm fetches whatever tarball that host returns and installs it, executing any lifecycle scripts it contains, with no version pin, no integrity hash, and no signature check... ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-28T23:39:40.784Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-28T23:40:06.269Z - **Download time:** 501 ms - **Static scan time:** 7 ms - **AI review time:** 24976 ms - **Total time:** 25485 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 confirmed malicious attack surface is established in the reviewed package source. A manifest dependency URL is the only external reference. - **Trigger:** Standard npm dependency resolution may retrieve the declared dependency. - **Impact:** No harmful package behavior is present in the reviewed files. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-28T23:40:06.269Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Minimal exported fixed-string function with a dependency declaration. - **Rationale:** The package has no lifecycle hooks and its only executable source returns a fixed string. The URL dependency warrants normal dependency provenance checks, but it is not concrete malicious behavior in this package. - **Files touched:** package.json, index.js, README.md - **Network endpoints:** https://repo.securityctrl.com/aws-blog ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The manifest declares a same-name dependency fetched from a URL., The executable entry point only defines and exports a function that returns a fixed string. - **Evidence against:** No install, preinstall, or postinstall lifecycle hook is declared., No network, shell, file-system, dynamic-code, credential, or persistence behavior appears in the reviewed source., The package contains only package.json, index.js, and a short README. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to aws-blog@45.0.2. - Avoid installing aws-blog@45.0.2. 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.
