## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — Quarantined by product-default policy — this version is not allowed through the firewall.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Malware
- **Selected version:** 1.0.0
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **Analysis source:** OSV Malicious Advisory (OpenSSF/OSV)

Trusted malware advisory MAL-2026-17226 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.

OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-17226 confirms this npm version as malicious. On every \`require('figlet-chalk-render')\`, a top-level IIFE queries \`https://registry.npmjs.org/figlet-chalk-render/latest\` and, if a newer version exists, spawns \`npm install figlet-chalk-render@\<latest\>\` with cwd set to \`path.join(\_\_dirname, '..', '..')\` (the consumer project's root) and stdio ignored...

## Public findings

### 1. High: Osv Malicious Advisory
- **Category:** External Intel
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

On every \`require('figlet-chalk-render')\`, a top-level IIFE queries \`https://registry.npmjs.org/figlet-chalk-render/latest\` and, if a newer version exists, spawns \`npm install figlet-chalk-render@\<latest\>\` with cwd set to \`path.join(\_\_dirname, '..', '..')\` (the consumer project's root) and stdio ignored. The \`https\`, \`child\_process\`, and \`path\` core-module names are loaded via hex-escaped string literals (\`'\\x63\\x68\\x69\\x6c\\x64\\x5f\\x70\\x72\\x6f\\x63\\x65\\x73\\x73'\`, etc.) rather than plain identifiers, deliberately hiding the sensitive requires backing the auto-update. The behavior is undocumented in the README. Every consumer that imports the module receives whatever the latest published version happens to be at that moment, executed with the installer's npm privileges and lifecycle scripts, giving anyone who later controls this package name a silent code-execution channel into every installer's project tree. The hex-obfuscation of the module names is anti-evasion and rebuts a benign-self-update reading: legitimate insecure-update code does not disguise \`require('child\_process')\`.
