AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. test.js contains an intentional routine for publishing multiple randomly named public packages using the caller's npm credentials and modifying package.json. It is not automatically triggered by install or import, but its behavior is unrelated to the package's stated purpose and can publish packages the user did not choose. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 97.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-05T06:54:20.761Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-05T06:55:03.616Z - **Download time:** 512 ms - **Static scan time:** 15 ms - **AI review time:** 42328 ms - **Total time:** 42855 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:** A script can use the caller's npm authentication to publish multiple randomly named public packages. - **Trigger:** Explicitly running test.js; it invokes its main routine at file load, with five iterations by default. - **Impact:** Publishes packages under names selected by the script, using the available npm credentials, and alters package.json in the working directory. - **Evidence paths:** test.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-05T06:55:03.616Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The script initializes package metadata, changes the name and version, writes package.json, and runs \`npm publish --access public\` in each iteration. - **Attack narrative:** Running test.js directly causes it to publish five public packages by default. Each iteration selects a random package name, rewrites package.json, and invokes npm publish, which can use the caller's npm credentials. The routine is not wired to install, import, or the declared npm test script. - **Rationale:** test.js contains an intentional routine for publishing multiple randomly named public packages using the caller's npm credentials and modifying package.json. It is not automatically triggered by install or import, but its behavior is unrelated to the package's stated purpose and can publish packages the user did not choose. - **Files touched:** package.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** When run directly, test.js loops five times by default, creates random package names, rewrites package.json, and runs \`npm publish --access public\`., The publish loop is manually triggered: the manifest has no lifecycle hook or CLI, and its \`test\` script only prints an error and exits. - **Evidence against:** The publish routine does not run on install or package import; the declared main file, index.js, is absent., No explicit network host is hard-coded in the package source. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to dependent-final@1.0.3. - Avoid installing dependent-final@1.0.3. 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.
