AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The distributed main entrypoint contains an obfuscated, import-triggered remote payload loader unrelated to the package’s stated functionality. Absence of lifecycle hooks does not mitigate runtime remote code execution. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-25T02:10:03.627Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-25T02:10:57.849Z - **Download time:** 507 ms - **Static scan time:** 153 ms - **AI review time:** 53561 ms - **Total time:** 54222 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:** Importing the package main executes an obfuscated loader. It fetches concealed remote content and dynamically constructs and invokes it. - **Trigger:** Runtime import or require of babel-polyfill-plugin-corejs2. - **Impact:** Unconsented remote code execution in the importing process. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, lib/index.js, src/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-25T02:10:57.849Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** import-time obfuscated remote payload loader using axios and dynamic Function - **Attack narrative:** The manifest resolves imports to lib/index.js, whose normal-looking subscription implementation is followed by an obfuscated Function expression invoked immediately. Its loader requires axios, awaits an obfuscated request, uses returned data to construct a dynamic function, and invokes it with require. This creates an import-time remote-code-execution chain; the source counterpart does not contain the appended payload. - **Rationale:** The distributed main entrypoint contains an obfuscated, import-triggered remote payload loader unrelated to the package’s stated functionality. Absence of lifecycle hooks does not mitigate runtime remote code execution. - **Files touched:** lib/index.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** package.json loads lib/index.js as its main entrypoint., lib/index.js appends a large obfuscated Function payload after otherwise normal subscription code., The payload immediately invokes its async loader during module import., The loader obtains axios, performs an obfuscated remote request, then constructs and invokes code from the response. - **Evidence against:** package.json contains no npm lifecycle hook. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to babel-polyfill-plugin-corejs2@1.0.1. - Avoid installing babel-polyfill-plugin-corejs2@1.0.1. 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.
