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 host information and sends it to an external callback. Its registry manifest supplies URLs for loading that module. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-03T22:48:27.920Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-03T22:49:16.992Z - **Download time:** 776 ms - **Static scan time:** 11 ms - **AI review time:** 48284 ms - **Total time:** 49072 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 published registry module automatically collects host information and sends it to an external callback. Its registry manifest supplies URLs for loading that module. - **Trigger:** Loading thunderboltRegistry.js in an environment supporting its Node.js APIs and fetch. - **Impact:** Exposes hostname, user identity, system and network details, and /etc/hosts contents. - **Evidence paths:** thunderboltRegistry.js, registry-manifest.min.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-03T22:49:16.992Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** An immediately invoked function executes shell commands, reads host information, and sends the results in callback query parameters. - **Attack narrative:** Loading the registry module immediately runs host reconnaissance commands and forwards their results to a fixed external callback. The manifest directs several registry names to this payload. Although the default package entrypoint is empty, the published registry module contains active data collection and transmission unrelated to CSS color polyfilling. - **Rationale:** Inspected source establishes automatic host-data exfiltration through the registry module. The empty default entrypoint limits activation but does not neutralize the published executable payload. - **Files touched:** /etc/hosts - **Network endpoints:** https://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 callback using fetch., thunderboltRegistry.js reads /etc/hosts through a shell command and forwards its contents., thunderboltRegistry.js automatically executes identity commands and forwards their output when loaded., registry-manifest.min.json maps registry modules to the published thunderboltRegistry.js payload. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts, and index.js exports an empty object; the default entrypoint does not activate the payload. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to css-light-dark-polyfill@1.0.0. - Avoid installing css-light-dark-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.
