That nested release is not used by the reviewed source, creating an opaque supply-chain execution path. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-04T03:28:30.111Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-04T03:30:02.393Z - **Download time:** 1012 ms - **Static scan time:** 16654 ms - **AI review time:** 74615 ms - **Total time:** 92282 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installing this release automatically installs an older release of the same package under an alias. That nested release is not used by the reviewed source, creating an opaque supply-chain execution path. - **Trigger:** Installing eve@0.51.0 with npm or another package manager. - **Impact:** A separate older eve release is fetched and its lifecycle behavior can execute outside the reviewed release's visible code path. - **Evidence paths:** package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-04T03:30:02.393Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Aliased runtime self-dependency on an older eve release. - **Attack narrative:** The manifest declares historical-eve-0-30-8 as npm:eve@0.30.8. Package managers install this older eve release automatically while installing 0.51.0. Searches of the reviewed compiled source found no reference to that alias, so it is an unnecessary opaque nested-release chain rather than a visible compatibility feature. The nested release may carry its own lifecycle behavior and escapes review of the requested package source. - **Rationale:** The package creates an unnecessary, aliased runtime dependency on an older release of itself, producing an opaque nested supply-chain path during installation. This is malicious install-hook abuse under the lifecycle self-dependency policy. - **Files touched:** package.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The runtime dependencies install eve version 0.30.8 again under a different package name., No compiled source references the aliased historical package, so the nested installation has no visible product use., The alias forces npm to resolve and install a separate older release during dependency installation. - **Evidence against:** The manifest has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., The reviewed package code contains no confirmed credential-harvesting or exfiltration path. ## Public findings ### 1.
