OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-14053 confirms this npm version as malicious. depcruise-baseline@99.9.1 has a name resembling dependency-cruiser/depcruise but ships an empty index.js and declares its sole runtime dependency as a direct https:// tarball URL rather than a registry package: "ltidisafe": "https://ltidi.storage.googleapis.com/depenconf/ltidisafe-3.7.4.tgz".

Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installing the package fetches a dependency from an external tarball URL. The package's own entrypoint is inert, but the remote dependency content is outside the manifest's source. - **Trigger:** npm install depcruise-baseline@99.9.1 - **Impact:** Remote dependency code may execute during dependency installation or use; no direct payload is present in this package. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-16T09:28:28.507Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** remote tarball dependency fetch - **Rationale:** The package is inert but functions as a remote dependency carrier. The external tarball is an unresolved supply-chain risk rather than confirmed malicious behavior. - **Files touched:** package.json, index.js - **Network endpoints:** https://ltidi.storage.googleapis.com/depenconf/ltidisafe-3.7.4.tgz ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 76.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for AI warning decision:** package.json pins ltidisafe to an external tarball URL, making install depend on mutable remote package content. - **Evidence against:** No preinstall, install, or postinstall scripts are declared., index.js only exports an empty object; no runtime behavior is present. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to depcruise-baseline@99.9.1. - Avoid installing depcruise-baseline@99.9.1. 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.
