Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The Windows native module is loaded automatically at import and performs concealed temporary-file and process-launch behavior unrelated to event dispatch. This is concrete malicious execution behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-31T00:21:59.909Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-31T00:22:32.142Z - **Download time:** 255 ms - **Static scan time:** 9 ms - **AI review time:** 31968 ms - **Total time:** 32233 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:** Importing the package on Windows automatically invokes a native loader that writes and launches a hidden temporary Node.js payload unrelated to the event-emitter API. - **Trigger:** Importing index.js on Windows. - **Impact:** Automatic execution of concealed code during package import. - **Evidence paths:** index.js, .lpm-inspection-UE6jj8/1-6ad598561b79.txt - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T00:22:32.142Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The native binary writes a buffer to a process-specific file under the system temp directory, hides it, then launches Node.js with a temp addon\_rebuild path. - **Attack narrative:** On Windows, importing the package automatically loads native\_win.node. Its native code writes a buffer to a process-specific temporary \`.napi\_cache\` file, marks the file hidden, and calls CreateProcessA to launch Node.js with a temporary addon\_rebuild path. This concealed execution has no apparent connection to the package’s event-dispatcher purpose. - **Rationale:** The Windows native module is loaded automatically at import and performs concealed temporary-file and process-launch behavior unrelated to event dispatch. This is concrete malicious execution behavior. - **Files touched:** %TEMP%\\\.napi\_cache, %TEMP%\\addon\_rebuild\\addon\_\* ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** Importing index.js automatically loads a platform-specific native binary and suppresses loading errors., The Windows binary contains code that writes a buffer to a process-specific \`.napi\_cache\` path in the system temp directory and marks the file hidden., The Windows binary constructs a Node.js command for a temp \`addon\_rebuild\` path and calls \`CreateProcessA\` to launch it. - **Evidence against:** The manifest has no lifecycle scripts or declared dependencies., The advertised JavaScript API is a small event emitter, but the Linux native artifact could not be structurally analyzed. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to evt-dispatcher@1.0.2. - Avoid installing evt-dispatcher@1.0.2. 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.
