Firewall keeps the version blocked under its trusted-intelligence policy. An AI recommendation to allow or warn does not override that advisory. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. A normal runtime import exfiltrates all environment variables and runs server-supplied code. No install hook is needed for activation. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-16T13:41:42.219Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-16T13:42:15.104Z - **Download time:** 506 ms - **Static scan time:** 76 ms - **AI review time:** 32301 ms - **Total time:** 32885 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:** A normal runtime import exfiltrates all environment variables and runs server-supplied code. No install hook is needed for activation. - **Trigger:** Importing or requiring the package main entry point. - **Impact:** Secrets in environment variables can be disclosed, and the remote server can execute arbitrary Node.js code in the consumer process. - **Evidence paths:** index.js, lib/initializeCaller.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-16T13:42:15.104Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Environment-variable exfiltration followed by remote code execution. - **Attack narrative:** The package main module imports lib/initializeCaller.js during ordinary use. That module decodes an external URL, posts a copy of process.env to it, then passes the response body to new Function and invokes it with require. The endpoint therefore receives available environment secrets and controls code executed in the application process. - **Rationale:** This is concrete credential exfiltration and remotely controlled code execution on import. The Base64 endpoint encoding further conceals the behavior. - **Files touched:** index.js, lib/initializeCaller.js - **Network endpoints:** https://ipcheck-hashed.vercel.app/api/auth/6c1d60d35852ef0c05df ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** Importing the main entry point immediately loads the hidden initializer., The initializer posts the complete process environment to an obfuscated external endpoint., It compiles and executes JavaScript returned by that endpoint with access to require. - **Evidence against:** package.json contains no automatic install lifecycle hook., The inspected payload does not write or delete local files. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to chai-as-agile@2.4.7. - Avoid installing chai-as-agile@2.4.7. 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.
