Firewall keeps the version blocked under its trusted-intelligence policy. An AI recommendation to allow or warn does not override that advisory. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The registry module performs automatic host reconnaissance and exports the results to an external endpoint. The bundled registry manifest points loaders to this executable module. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-03T21:48:33.710Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-03T21:49:24.460Z - **Download time:** 511 ms - **Static scan time:** 25 ms - **AI review time:** 50213 ms - **Total time:** 50750 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:** The registry module performs automatic host reconnaissance and exports the results to an external endpoint. The bundled registry manifest points loaders to this executable module. - **Trigger:** Loading thunderboltRegistry.js in an environment with the required runtime APIs. - **Impact:** Disclosure of host identity, user identity, network interfaces, and host configuration to the endpoint operator. - **Evidence paths:** thunderboltRegistry.js, registry-manifest.min.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-03T21:49:24.460Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** An immediately invoked function runs shell commands, reads host configuration, and sends collected values through HTTP query parameters. - **Attack narrative:** When the registry module loads, its immediately invoked function collects host information and executes reconnaissance commands. It sends their outputs, including network interface details and /etc/hosts contents, to a fixed external HTTP endpoint. Registry factory exports follow the collection code, and the bundled manifest directs registry assets to this module. The empty default entrypoint limits activation but does not make the executable payload inert. - **Rationale:** Inspected source establishes automatic reconnaissance and data exfiltration unrelated to CSS positioning functionality. The absence of install hooks limits the trigger but does not neutralize the attack when the registry module loads. - **Files touched:** /etc/hosts - **Network endpoints:** http://dxpoc.gt.tc/callback.php/ef9ea0e191006f3cc6670720c99c26f3 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** thunderboltRegistry.js sends collected data and the hostname to a fixed external HTTP endpoint., Loading thunderboltRegistry.js immediately executes the id command and transmits its output., The module reads /etc/hosts through a shell command and transmits its contents., The module collects network interface information and transmits it., registry-manifest.min.json maps registry assets to the executable thunderboltRegistry.js payload. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts, and its default index.js entrypoint exports an empty object., Execution requires loading the registry module; shell collection requires child\_process and transmission requires fetch. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to css-anchor-pos-fallback@1.0.0. - Avoid installing css-anchor-pos-fallback@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.
