## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — Exposes user identity, hostname, operating system details, network interfaces, and host configuration without consent.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Data Exfiltration
- **Selected version:** 1.0.0
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

Trusted malware advisory MAL-2026-17552 identifies this version as malicious. 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 published registry module automatically collects system information and sends it to an external callback when loaded.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** The published registry module automatically collects system information and sends it to an external callback when loaded.

- **Trigger:** Loading thunderboltRegistry.js in an environment providing Node.js capabilities and fetch.

- **Impact:** Exposes user identity, hostname, operating system details, network interfaces, and host configuration without consent.

- **Evidence paths:** thunderboltRegistry.js, registry-manifest.min.json, package.json

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-04T22:33:22.019Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** A top-level function executes shell commands, reads host configuration, and sends encoded results through HTTP requests.

- **Attack narrative:** The package publishes a registry module referenced by its bundled manifest. Loading that module immediately runs reconnaissance commands and forwards their results, including host configuration, to a fixed external recipient. Execution and network failures are silently caught. The empty default entrypoint limits activation but does not neutralize the executable attack in the published registry module.

- **Rationale:** Inspected source proves automatic system reconnaissance and external data transmission unrelated to a CSS polyfill. This is an active data-exfiltration attack when the registry module is loaded, despite the inert default entrypoint.

- **Files touched:** /etc/hosts

- **Network endpoints:** http://dxpoc.gt.tc/callback.php/bb8968d0f67000433bf7005dd5ad2d1f

### 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 callback., Loading thunderboltRegistry.js immediately executes system commands and forwards their output., The module reads /etc/hosts and sends its contents to the callback., registry-manifest.min.json maps registry assets to the executable module., package.json explicitly includes the registry manifest and executable module in published files.

- **Evidence against:** There are no install lifecycle hooks, and index.js only exports an empty object., The attack requires loading the registry module; importing the default entrypoint does not activate it.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to css-hgwctv-polyfill@1.0.0.

- Avoid installing css-hgwctv-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.
