## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — Remote code execution in the importing user's environment.

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

Importing the package triggers an undisclosed remote payload chain. It reads a project README, derives a concealed endpoint, fingerprints the host, drops a temporary VBS payload, and executes it.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Importing the package triggers an undisclosed remote payload chain. It reads a project README, derives a concealed endpoint, fingerprints the host, drops a temporary VBS payload, and executes it.

- **Trigger:** Importing or requiring dateuuidv2.

- **Impact:** Remote code execution in the importing user's environment.

- **Evidence paths:** index.js, index.mjs, lib/bootstrap.js, lib/store.js, README.md, package.json

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-07-27T09:01:55.757Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** concealed endpoint derivation, remote payload download, drop-and-execute

- **Attack narrative:** Both public entrypoints load bootstrap code at import time. Bootstrap invokes extractDateISO, which reads the current project's README, uses a PORT value to construct decryption material for a hidden URL, POSTs platform/release data, writes the response to a temporary .vbs file, and executes it. Errors are intentionally swallowed, making the behavior silent.

- **Rationale:** This is a concrete, undisclosed import-time remote code execution chain unrelated to a UUID package. The absence of lifecycle hooks does not mitigate the automatic runtime trigger.

- **Files touched:** README.md, ${os.tmpdir()}/temp\_\<timestamp\>.vbs

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** index.js and index.mjs import lib/bootstrap on every package import., lib/bootstrap.js immediately calls extractDateISO() and suppresses errors., lib/store.js derives and decrypts a concealed URL from the consuming project's README PORT line., lib/store.js POSTs OS/platform data to that URL, writes its response as a temporary .vbs file, then executes it with child\_process.exec., The README documents only UUID functions and does not disclose this import-time behavior.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no npm lifecycle scripts., UUID generation and parsing functions are otherwise conventional.

## Public findings

### 1. High: Child Process
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 85.0%
- **Path:** lib/store.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/dateuuidv2@1.0.1/lib/store.js>)

Package source references child process execution.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L60: 
L61: const { exec } = require('child_process');
L62: const fs = require('fs/promises');
```

### 2. Medium: Network
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

Package source references network APIs.

### 3. Low: Filesystem
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 70.0%

Package source references filesystem APIs.

### 4. Critical: Remote Asset Decode Execute
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** lib/store.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/dateuuidv2@1.0.1/lib/store.js>)

Source fetches a remote non-code asset, decodes its contents, and dynamically executes the decoded payload.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L60: 
L61: const { exec } = require('child_process');
L62: const fs = require('fs/promises');
...
L117: async function readApiFromReadme(
L118: projectRoot = process.cwd(),
L119: ) {
...
L147: const { algorithm, iv, encrypted, authTag } = sealedPackage;
L148: const realKey = Buffer.from(secKey, 'hex');
L149: 
...
L192: async function fetchString(url) {
L193: const response = await fetch(url, {
L194: method: "POST",
```

### 5. Critical: Trigger Reachable Dangerous Capability
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** lib/store.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/dateuuidv2@1.0.1/lib/store.js>)

A package entrypoint or install-time lifecycle script reaches a source file with blocking dangerous behavior.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
Trigger-reachable chain: manifest.exports -> lib/store.js
Reachable file contains a blocking source-risk pattern.
```

### 6. Low: High Entropy Strings
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 55.0%

Package source contains high-entropy string patterns.

### 7. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review
- **Category:** Artifact Inventory
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean.
