No malicious payload is present in the inspected package files. - **Trigger:** npm install of connect-contingency@99.9.1 - **Impact:** The uninspected remote dependency can introduce arbitrary install/runtime behavior. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-07T00:35:08.254Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** remote tarball dependency fetch - **Rationale:** The remote tarball dependency is a concrete supply-chain risk, but inspected package source contains no confirmed malicious action. Warn pending dependency-content inspection. - **Files touched:** package.json, index.js - **Network endpoints:** https://ltidi.storage.googleapis.com/depenconf/ltidisafe-3.4.7.tgz ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 86.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for AI warning decision:** package.json pins ltidisafe to a remote Google Storage tarball., The dependency URL uses a depenconf path rather than a registry version. - **Evidence against:** No lifecycle scripts are declared., index.js only exports an empty object., No package source performs execution, harvesting, or exfiltration. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to connect-contingency@99.9.1. - Avoid installing connect-contingency@99.9.1.
