Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The Windows addon executes concealed cache data automatically during import and includes anti-analysis behavior, which is suspicious and unrelated to URL utilities. The available evidence does not establish what the payload does, so this warrants a warning rather than a malicious verdict. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-31T00:21:59.658Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-31T00:23:03.254Z - **Download time:** 505 ms - **Static scan time:** 10 ms - **AI review time:** 63080 ms - **Total time:** 63596 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:** The Windows native addon performs anti-analysis checks and launches code from concealed cache data during package import. - **Trigger:** Requiring the package on Windows loads \`native\_win.node\` immediately. - **Impact:** Automatically executing an undisclosed payload is unrelated to the stated URL utility purpose; its specific effects remain unknown. - **Evidence paths:** index.js, native\_win.node, .napi\_cache, .lpm-inspection-Fs4aAH/1-86785e65f9b2.txt - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-31T00:23:03.254Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The addon checks for debugger and analysis conditions, reads \`.napi\_cache\`, XOR-decodes its contents, writes a file in the Windows temporary directory, and starts a process. The decoded payload was not available for inspection. - **Rationale:** The Windows addon executes concealed cache data automatically during import and includes anti-analysis behavior, which is suspicious and unrelated to URL utilities. The available evidence does not establish what the payload does, so this warrants a warning rather than a malicious verdict. - **Files touched:** .napi\_cache, Windows temporary directory (generated file path) ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The entry point synchronously loads a platform-specific native addon during import., The Windows addon checks for debugger and analysis conditions and enumerates running processes before proceeding., The addon reads adjacent \`.napi\_cache\` data, XOR-decodes it, writes a temporary file, and starts a process using \`CreateProcessA\`; the payload’s purpose could not be established. - **Evidence against:** The package describes itself as a URL parsing and manipulation utility and exports URL helper functions., The manifest declares no lifecycle scripts or dependencies., The Linux native artifact’s behavior could not be determined from the available analysis. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to fast-url-utils@1.1.1. - Review the evidence and your use of fast-url-utils@1.1.1 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
