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 shipped registry module automatically collects and transmits host information when loaded. Its registry manifest exposes the module under several registry names. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-03T21:49:37.110Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-03T21:50:24.891Z - **Download time:** 1799 ms - **Static scan time:** 24 ms - **AI review time:** 45957 ms - **Total time:** 47781 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 shipped registry module automatically collects and transmits host information when loaded. Its registry manifest exposes the module under several registry names. - **Trigger:** Loading thunderboltRegistry.js directly or through a consumer of the registry manifest. - **Impact:** Exposes the executing user's identity, operating system, network interfaces, hosts file contents, and process metadata. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, registry-manifest.min.json, thunderboltRegistry.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-03T21:50:24.891Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** A top-level function invokes child\_process commands and sends encoded results through fetch to a fixed HTTP callback. - **Attack narrative:** The package ships an empty default entrypoint alongside a registry module containing an immediately executed collection routine. Loading that module runs host reconnaissance commands and transmits their output to a fixed external callback. The accompanying manifest maps several registry names to this module. Execution depends on that module being loaded and available runtime capabilities, but the payload is active code rather than an inert carrier. - **Rationale:** Inspected source establishes automatic host-data collection and external transmission unrelated to CSS polyfilling. The empty default entrypoint and absence of install hooks limit activation but do not neutralize the executable registry payload. - **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:** Loading thunderboltRegistry.js immediately runs host reconnaissance commands and forwards their output., The module sends collected data through fetch to a fixed unrelated HTTP endpoint., The module reads /etc/hosts through a shell command and transmits up to 2,000 characters., registry-manifest.min.json maps registry module names to the executable payload., package.json explicitly includes the registry manifest and payload in published files. - **Evidence against:** The default index.js entrypoint exports an empty object., package.json has no install lifecycle hooks; activation requires loading the registry module. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to css-gap-decorations-polyfill@1.0.0. - Avoid installing css-gap-decorations-polyfill@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.
