LPM AI assessed this version as suspicious; the assessments disagree. Independent AI assessment: suspicious. LPM AI assessed this version as suspicious; the assessments disagree. OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-14054 confirms this npm version as malicious. depcruise-fmt ships an empty module (index.js exports {}) and declares its only dependency, ltidisafe, as an arbitrary HTTPS tarball hosted at https://ltidi.storage.googleapis.com/depenconf/ltidisafe-3.7.3.tgz rather than a registry package. On npm install, npm fetches and installs that off-registry tarball into the dependency tree and executes any lifecycle scripts it contains... ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-16T09:28:05.470Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-16T09:28:35.675Z - **Download time:** 508 ms - **Static scan time:** 12 ms - **AI review time:** 29684 ms - **Total time:** 30205 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:** Installing the package causes npm to retrieve an opaque remote tarball dependency. The shipped package itself has no runtime behavior, but the remote dependency is an unreviewable payload boundary. - **Trigger:** npm install of depcruise-fmt - **Impact:** Remote dependency code may run during installation or later runtime outside the inspected package source. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-16T09:28:35.675Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** remote tarball dependency resolution - **Rationale:** No direct malicious behavior is present in the two shipped files. The unexplained remote tarball dependency creates a concrete uninspectable code-execution supply-chain boundary. - **Files touched:** package.json, index.js - **Network endpoints:** https://ltidi.storage.googleapis.com/depenconf/ltidisafe-3.7.3.tgz ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI warning decision:** Manifest installs ltidisafe from an external tarball URL rather than a registry version. - **Evidence against:** No lifecycle hooks are declared., index.js only exports an empty object., Package contains only package.json and index.js; no shipped execution, collection, or exfiltration code. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to depcruise-fmt@99.9.1. - Avoid installing depcruise-fmt@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.
