Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — Steals wallet material, environment secrets, shell-profile secrets, and SSH private keys; persists across reboots. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Block by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Credential Exfiltration - **Selected version:** 1.0.0 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM AI independently confirmed malicious behavior in this version and supplies the Firewall block. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. This is concrete import-time malware behavior, not a package-aligned validation feature. The absence of npm lifecycle hooks does not mitigate the delayed runtime dropper and credential exfiltration chain. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-14T07:49:57.850Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-14T07:50:48.089Z - **Download time:** 260 ms - **Static scan time:** 12 ms - **AI review time:** 49967 ms - **Total time:** 50239 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 triggers a delayed hidden dropper. It writes and runs a persistent credential-harvesting payload that exfiltrates encrypted findings. - **Trigger:** Runtime \`require\`/import of \`index.js\`, followed by the 37-second timer. - **Impact:** Steals wallet material, environment secrets, shell-profile secrets, and SSH private keys; persists across reboots. - **Evidence paths:** index.js, test/fixtures/keypairs.dat, package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-14T07:50:48.089Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Delayed payload drop, host persistence, credential harvesting, and encrypted IPFS upload. - **Attack narrative:** A normal import of \`index.js\` schedules a concealed dropper. It decodes a base64 fixture into a user-home script, installs cron or scheduled-task persistence, and launches it detached. The dropped script checks IPFS dead drops for activation, searches wallet directories, \`.env\`, shell profiles, and SSH keys, encrypts findings with an embedded public key, and uploads them through Pinata. - **Rationale:** This is concrete import-time malware behavior, not a package-aligned validation feature. The absence of npm lifecycle hooks does not mitigate the delayed runtime dropper and credential exfiltration chain. - **Files touched:** index.js, test/fixtures/keypairs.dat, ~/.cache-db/.node-sync/syncd.js, ~/.cache-db/.node-sync/.lock, ~/.cache-db/.node-sync/.sl, ~/.config/solana, ~/.ethereum/keystore, ~/.ssh - **Network endpoints:** gateway.pinata.cloud, ipfs.io, cloudflare-ipfs.com, api.pinata.cloud ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** \`index.js\` runs an unexported dropper on module import after 37 seconds., \`index.js\` decodes \`test/fixtures/keypairs.dat\` into \`~/.cache-db/.node-sync/syncd.js\` with mode 0700., \`index.js\` installs cron or scheduled-task persistence and detaches \`node syncd.js\`., Decoded \`test/fixtures/keypairs.dat\` searches wallet files, \`.env\`, shell profiles, and SSH private keys., Decoded payload encrypts harvested data and uploads it to Pinata/IPFS endpoints., Decoded payload uses IPFS dead drops to remotely activate collection. - **Evidence against:** \`package.json\` has no lifecycle scripts., The exported validator functions are locally implemented regex checks. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to crypto-validate-lib@1.0.0. - Avoid installing crypto-validate-lib@1.0.0. 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.
