On qualifying browser language and host conditions, it disables page interaction and plays external looping audio. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-27T07:46:35.468Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-27T07:47:33.767Z - **Download time:** 761 ms - **Static scan time:** 4521 ms - **AI review time:** 53017 ms - **Total time:** 58299 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Importing the package loads a browser bundle containing targeted disruption. On qualifying browser language and host conditions, it disables page interaction and plays external looping audio. - **Trigger:** Import the package in a browser with a Russian language setting on a matching host; revisit after the stored three-day delay. - **Impact:** Disrupts users of targeted sites and makes the page unusable. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.mjs, dist/index-599009d2.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-27T07:47:33.767Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Targeted browser protestware that blocks pointer input and injects autoplaying audio. - **Attack narrative:** The package entrypoint imports dist/index-599009d2.mjs. Its top-level browser code targets Russian-language browsers on Russian-related domains, uses local storage to delay activation, then removes pointer interaction from the entire page. It appends a looping audio element sourced from an unrelated external host and attempts playback. This is deliberate targeted browser disruption, not a feature required by a component library. - **Rationale:** The source confirms a reachable, targeted browser-disruption payload in the import graph. No install hook is required for the malicious runtime impact. - **Files touched:** dist/index.mjs, dist/index-599009d2.mjs - **Network endpoints:** https://flag-gimn.ru/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Ukraina.mp3 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The importable browser bundle contains targeted protestware., It triggers for Russian-language browsers on Russian-related host suffixes., After three days it disables all page pointer interaction., It injects looping audio from an external host and attempts playback. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The behavior is browser-only and does not harvest credentials or execute shell commands. ## Public findings ### 1.
