AI Security Review
scanned 12h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe main entry automatically mutates the importing project's package metadata and repeatedly publishes it publicly to npm under generated names. This uses the caller's npm credentials for an unrequested publishing action, so the package is malicious.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source fingerprint signature matched known malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
Module import; `autopublish.js` invokes the publishing function at top level.
Impact
The user's project may be published publicly under generated names using their npm credentials, with repeated publications and changes to local package files.
Mechanism
The script rewrites package metadata with a generated name, executes `npm publish --access public`, then schedules another attempt after a random delay.
Attack narrative
On import, the main entry changes the current project's name in package metadata and runs `npm publish --access public`. It then schedules repeated publishing attempts, using the caller's npm authentication to publish project contents under generated names.
AI rationale
The main entry automatically mutates the importing project's package metadata and repeatedly publishes it publicly to npm under generated names. This uses the caller's npm credentials for an unrequested publishing action, so the package is malicious.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 99.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- The package main entry is `autopublish.js`, and the package description says it renames package metadata and publishes to npm.
- The script changes the current project's package name and writes the change to `package.json` and `package-lock.json`.
- It runs `npm publish --access public`, using the environment's npm authentication to publish the renamed project.
- The publish loop starts at module load and schedules another publish after each attempt.
Evidence against
- The README describes the tool as an auto-publishing script and tells users to run `autopublish.js` directly.
