Summary
Malicious code in eth-library-utils (npm)
Details
No a static rule matches and no traced code findings were produced for this package version. No credential access, install-time network fetch-and-execute, hardcoded exfiltration endpoint, silent-relay mechanism, backdoor, or self-propagation behavior is evidenced in the available signals.
## Source: ghsa-malware (22f0f4a4f857d3fd21a5d6cb9dacf04c8b0e62a2a554c78006901a0a2cf0dd65) Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it.

Independent LPM AI assessment
CleanIndependent AI assessment: clean. LPM AI assessed this version as clean; the assessments disagree.
Source inspection shows a conventional Ethereum utility library with no install-time execution or concrete malicious behavior. Scanner-adjacent entrypoint imports are package-aligned local exports and crypto dependencies.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.
Trigger
Consumer imports and explicitly calls exported utility functions.
Impact
No credential collection, file mutation, network communication, persistence, or remote code execution established.
Mechanism
Local Ethereum cryptography and byte/serialization utilities.
AI rationale
Source inspection shows a conventional Ethereum utility library with no install-time execution or concrete malicious behavior. Scanner-adjacent entrypoint imports are package-aligned local exports and crypto dependencies.

Evidence for AI clean decision
Evidence against
- package.json has no lifecycle hooks or bin entry.
- src/index.ts only re-exports utility modules.
- src/hash.ts performs local Keccak/SHA-256/RIPEMD-160 hashing.
- src/signature.ts performs local ECDSA signing and recovery.
- Source and dist imports are limited to local modules and crypto/serialization dependencies.
- No filesystem, process/env, network, shell, eval, or dynamic-loading primitives found.
