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 file executes reconnaissance commands and transmits local system information to an external HTTP endpoint when loaded. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-03T22:48:58.820Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-03T22:49:46.599Z - **Download time:** 777 ms - **Static scan time:** 11 ms - **AI review time:** 46990 ms - **Total time:** 47779 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 file executes reconnaissance commands and transmits local system information to an external HTTP endpoint when loaded. - **Trigger:** Loading thunderboltRegistry.js in an environment providing the required Node.js capabilities and fetch. - **Impact:** Exposure of user identity, hostname, operating-system details, network configuration, and /etc/hosts contents. - **Evidence paths:** thunderboltRegistry.js, registry-manifest.min.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-03T22:49:46.599Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** An immediately invoked function executes shell commands, reads host information, and sends encoded results through HTTP requests. - **Attack narrative:** The package ships a registry implementation referenced by its registry manifest. Loading that implementation immediately collects system information through shell commands and sends it, together with the hostname, to a fixed external endpoint. The empty default entrypoint limits activation, but the registry payload actively exfiltrates data when loaded. - **Rationale:** Direct source inspection establishes automatic reconnaissance and external transmission unrelated to a CSS polyfill. The empty main entrypoint does not neutralize the executable payload shipped and referenced as a registry asset. - **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:** Loading thunderboltRegistry.js immediately executes system reconnaissance commands and sends their output externally., The registry file reads /etc/hosts and sends up to 2,000 characters of its contents., The HTTP sender includes the hostname and targets dxpoc.gt.tc., registry-manifest.min.json maps registry assets to the executable registry file. - **Evidence against:** There are no installation lifecycle hooks, and index.js exports an empty object; ordinary main-entrypoint import does not activate the payload. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to css-interop-observer-polyfill@1.0.0. - Avoid installing css-interop-observer-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.
