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-2026-13976 confirms this npm version as malicious. check-audit@99.9.1 is an otherwise empty package (no author, no description, no meaningful code) whose only effect on install is to pull a dependency named \`ltidisafe\` from an arbitrary Google Cloud Storage URL: \`https://ltidi.storage.googleapis.com/depenconf/ltidisafe-3.6.5.tgz\`. This URL is not the npm registry and is not tied to any declared publisher of check-audit... ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 82.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-13T23:44:34.816Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-13T23:45:11.380Z - **Download time:** 503 ms - **Static scan time:** 6 ms - **AI review time:** 36054 ms - **Total time:** 36564 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:** npm dependency resolution downloads an externally hosted tarball. The inspected package itself has no executable behavior beyond an empty export. - **Trigger:** npm install resolves dependencies - **Impact:** The uninspected tarball can introduce code outside the reviewed package source. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-13T23:45:11.380Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** remote tarball dependency fetch - **Rationale:** The remote dependency is a concrete staged-payload delivery surface, but inspected source does not show local execution or malicious effects. Warn pending dependency-payload inspection. - **Files touched:** package.json, index.js - **Network endpoints:** https://ltidi.storage.googleapis.com/depenconf/ltidisafe-3.6.5.tgz ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 82.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for AI warning decision:** Manifest pins dependency ltidisafe to a remote tarball URL, so installation fetches code outside the package source. - **Evidence against:** No preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook is declared., The sole runtime entrypoint only exports an empty object; no local execution, harvesting, or network logic is present. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to check-audit@99.9.1. - Avoid installing check-audit@99.9.1. 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.
