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. The supplied registry module performs automatic host reconnaissance and data exfiltration when loaded. Its registry manifest exposes the payload under multiple registry names. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-03T21:49:26.410Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-03T21:50:15.062Z - **Download time:** 764 ms - **Static scan time:** 10 ms - **AI review time:** 47877 ms - **Total time:** 48652 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 supplied registry module performs automatic host reconnaissance and data exfiltration when loaded. Its registry manifest exposes the payload under multiple registry names. - **Trigger:** Loading thunderboltRegistry.js directly or through the supplied registry manifest. - **Impact:** Exposes user identity, operating-system details, network configuration and /etc/hosts contents when shell execution and fetch are available. - **Evidence paths:** thunderboltRegistry.js, registry-manifest.min.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-03T21:50:15.062Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** An immediately invoked function executes shell commands and sends their encoded output to a fixed HTTP endpoint using fetch. - **Attack narrative:** The package presents itself as a focus-visible polyfill but supplies a registry module that immediately collects host information and transmits it to an unrelated endpoint. The default import is empty, so activation requires loading the supplied registry module. The manifest provides references to that module under several registry names. This is executable exfiltration behavior, not an inert payload. - **Rationale:** Inspected source proves automatic shell-based reconnaissance and transmission of host data to a fixed unrelated recipient. The empty default entrypoint and absence of install hooks limit activation but do not neutralize the malicious registry module. - **Files touched:** /etc/hosts - **Network endpoints:** http://dxpoc.gt.tc/callback.php/ef9ea0e191006f3cc6670720c99c26f3 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** thunderboltRegistry.js sends collected data through fetch to a fixed unrelated HTTP endpoint., Loading thunderboltRegistry.js immediately executes shell commands to collect user identity, system details and network configuration., The module reads /etc/hosts through a shell command and transmits its contents., registry-manifest.min.json maps multiple registry modules to the executable thunderboltRegistry.js payload. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle hooks, and its default index.js entrypoint exports an empty object. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to focus-visible-polyfill-lite@1.0.0. - Avoid installing focus-visible-polyfill-lite@1.0.0. 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.
