AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. This is concrete unconsented install-time remote code execution with persistence. The harmless runtime stub does not mitigate the lifecycle attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-28T22:56:36.331Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-28T22:56:58.796Z - **Download time:** 512 ms - **Static scan time:** 9 ms - **AI review time:** 21943 ms - **Total time:** 22465 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:** Installing the package automatically downloads and executes an unverified remote shell script. It then attempts recurring cron-based persistence. - **Trigger:** npm installation, before the package is installed. - **Impact:** Arbitrary code from the remote host can run as the installing user and recur every 30 minutes. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-28T22:56:58.796Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Preinstall remote shell execution plus cron persistence. - **Attack narrative:** The package's preinstall hook invokes curl and pipes the downloaded script into a shell. It then modifies the installing user's crontab to repeat that remote execution every 30 minutes. Both operations suppress errors, and execution occurs without an explicit user command beyond package installation. - **Rationale:** This is concrete unconsented install-time remote code execution with persistence. The harmless runtime stub does not mitigate the lifecycle attack. - **Files touched:** package.json - **Network endpoints:** 216.126.236.46/x.sh ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The preinstall hook downloads and executes a shell script from an IP address., The hook installs a cron job that reruns the remote script every 30 minutes., Errors are suppressed, concealing failed execution and persistence attempts. - **Evidence against:** The runtime entry point only exports a minimal payment stub., No additional package source files were present. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to grafeno-pix@1.0.0. - Avoid installing grafeno-pix@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.
