The workflow also writes state and locale resource files before asking to replace source files. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Malware - **Selected version:** 0.1.6 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Importing the declared main entry runs the full workflow, and the CLI automatically uses an available OpenAI key without requiring the documented --llm opt-in. This can send translation requests and incur charges merely from importing the package, so it meets the rule for automatic use of a user's key. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-03T00:42:04.228Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-03T00:43:09.003Z - **Download time:** 511 ms - **Static scan time:** 433 ms - **AI review time:** 63830 ms - **Total time:** 64775 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 package can start its full i18n workflow and spend the user's configured LLM credits. - **Trigger:** A consumer imports the package through its declared main entry, dist/cli.js. - **Impact:** Unexpected API usage and charges, with project translation text sent for processing. The workflow also writes state and locale resource files before asking to replace source files. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/cli.js, dist/config.js, dist/llm/client.js, dist/agent/pipeline.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-03T00:43:09.003Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The CLI runs unconditionally, defaults to the full run workflow, and loads an OpenAI API key from the environment without requiring --llm. Translation requests use that key. - **Attack narrative:** The declared package main points to a CLI that calls main() during module evaluation. With no command-line arguments it runs the full workflow in the current directory, automatically loads OPENAI\_API\_KEY or I18N\_LLM\_API\_KEY, and sends translation requests to the configured LLM endpoint. Importing the package can therefore use the consumer's key and incur API charges without an explicit translation command. - **Rationale:** Importing the declared main entry runs the full workflow, and the CLI automatically uses an available OpenAI key without requiring the documented --llm opt-in. This can send translation requests and incur charges merely from importing the package, so it meets the rule for automatic use of a user's key. - **Files touched:** .i18n-agent/state.json, src/locales/zh-CN.json, src/locales/en-US.json, src/locales/keysMeta.json - **Network endpoints:** api.openai.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** package.json maps the package main entry to dist/cli.js., The CLI defaults to the full run command and invokes main() unconditionally, so importing the package starts the workflow in the current directory., The CLI loads an OpenAI key from the environment even when --llm was not provided., The LLM client sends a bearer key and request body to the configured endpoint, which defaults to api.openai.com., The default workflow includes translation through the LLM client, creating unrequested API usage and possible charges on import. - **Evidence against:** The package describes itself as an i18n CLI, and translation is within its stated purpose., The README presents --llm as the way to enable real LLM translation, though the CLI also activates it when an API key is present., The package has no preinstall, install, or postinstall script; its prepublishOnly script is for building and tests. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to code-i18n-agent@0.1.6. - Avoid installing code-i18n-agent@0.1.6. 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.
