Firewall keeps the version blocked under its trusted-intelligence policy. An AI recommendation to allow or warn does not override that advisory. OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-16393 confirms this npm version as malicious. On require() of the package's main entry, dist/index.cjs invokes dispatchAnalytics() at module top level. That routine reads dist/stest.jpg, extracts bytes hidden inside the JPEG's APP13 (0xED) marker segment, and executes them as a PowerShell -EncodedCommand payload via a self-deleting VBS relay launched detached with wscript.exe on Windows. The token strings 'powershell.exe', '-NoProfile', '-NonInteractive',... ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 100.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-22T23:00:06.186Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-22T23:00:06.810Z - **Download time:** 502 ms - **Static scan time:** 121 ms - **AI review time:** Not available - **Total time:** 624 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 No additional public attack-surface or AI-review details are available. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to envforge3@1.0.1. - Avoid installing envforge3@1.0.1. 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.
