## 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:** 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
