OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-4567 confirms this npm version as malicious. On install, scripts/postinstall-message.mjs reads the consumer project's package.json via process.env.INIT\_CWD, and if freertc appears in dependencies/devDependencies with any value other than 'latest', it overwrites the entry to 'latest', writes the modified package.json back to disk, and invokes spawnSync('npm', \['install'\], { cwd: projectRoot })... ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** external-osv-malicious-v1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 100.0% - **Started:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Finished:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Download time:** Not available - **Static scan time:** Not available - **AI review time:** Not available - **Total time:** Not available The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis No additional public attack-surface or AI-review details are available. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to freertc@0.1.33. The same advisory and Firewall decision cover these 8 recorded versions: 0.1.20, 0.1.21, 0.1.22, 0.1.23, 0.1.28, 0.1.31, 0.1.32, 0.1.33. - Avoid installing freertc@0.1.33. 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. High: Osv Malicious Advisory - **Category:** External Intel - **Confidence:** 100.0% On install, scripts/postinstall-message.mjs reads the consumer project's package.json via process.env.INIT\_CWD, and if freertc appears in dependencies/devDependencies with any value other than 'latest', it overwrites the entry to 'latest', writes the modified package.json back to disk, and invokes spawnSync('npm', \['install'\], { cwd: projectRoot }). This silently mutates the installer's committed manifest (and lockfile, via the recursive npm install) without consent, converting any pinned version constraint into the mutable 'latest' tag. The effect is that every subsequent install on the consumer's machine — and on every collaborator's machine once the modified package.json is committed — will automatically pull whatever the newest published freertc release happens to be, including any future compromised release. This removes version pinning, the consumer's primary defense against supply-chain attacks on this package, as a direct consequence of installing it. The postinstall hook also performs an outbound fetch to registry.npmjs.org to gather version info as part of the same flow. Independent of the version-rewrite behavior, the package contains additional outbound network calls in bin/freertc.mjs and a ping/network-id pattern in scripts/non-cloudflare-server.mjs that warrant scrutiny but are reachable only via explicit CLI/server invocation, not at install time. ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** Yes - **Published lifecycle scripts:** postinstall - **Dependencies:** 1 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 1 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 1 ### Published dependency entries - ws ^8.18.0 (Dependency) ## Package metadata - **Package:** freertc - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 0.1.33 - **License:** MIT - **Version published:** Not available - **Package first seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Known versions:** 8 - **Latest version:** 0.1.33 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Description:** Cloudflare Worker signaling relay for WebRTC peers with D1 storage. - **Maintainers:** draeder - **Keywords:** webrtc, signaling, cloudflare-workers, cloudflare-d1, websocket - **Runtime engines:** node: \>=18 - **Artifact files:** 14 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 231,910 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 1 - **Attestations:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [Repository]() - [Homepage]() - [Issues]() - [OpenSSF/OSV advisory]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]()
