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:** 3.7.7 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** OpenSSF/OSV Malicious Advisory (OpenSSF/OSV) OpenSSF/OSV malware advisory MAL-2026-13692 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-2026-13692 confirms this npm version as malicious. On import, index.js invokes postCallers() which resolves a base64-encoded URL stored in lib/const.js (decoding to https://1uznbx.s.gy/7xdQmt), GETs the response via axios, base64-decodes response.data.model, and passes it to new Function(require) — executing attacker-controlled JavaScript in-process. The destination is hidden as a DEV\_API\_KEY field on a fake process.env-shaped local module, and the payload URL is a... ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-10T13:04:17.335Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-10T13:05:05.007Z - **Download time:** 254 ms - **Static scan time:** 82 ms - **AI review time:** 47336 ms - **Total time:** 47672 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 main entrypoint invokes an attempted remote payload loader. The current source has a property-path defect that prevents the network request and dynamic execution. - **Trigger:** Import or require index.js. - **Impact:** If made operational, a server response could run arbitrary code with the importing process's privileges. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, lib/caller.js, lib/const.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-10T13:05:05.007Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Import-time remote fetch followed by decoded dynamic code execution. - **Rationale:** This is an overt remote-code-loader pattern at import time, but the inspected source is currently inert because its URL lookup is broken. It warrants a warning rather than a publish block under the concrete-behavior boundary. - **Files touched:** index.js, lib/caller.js, lib/const.js - **Network endpoints:** https://1uznbx.s.gy/7xdQmt ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI warning decision:** index.js imports and invokes lib/caller.js at module load., lib/caller.js fetches a decoded URL and compiles response.data.model with new Function., lib/const.js contains an encoded URL: https://1uznbx.s.gy/7xdQmt., The remote loader is unrelated to the declared package API. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no install lifecycle hooks., lib/caller.js shadows Node's process with lib/const.js, whose object has env but no process.env; the request expression therefore throws before a request., No source evidence of file writes, credential collection, or exfiltration. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to chai-jsonss@3.7.7. - Avoid installing chai-jsonss@3.7.7. 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.
