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. Automatic install hooks stage concealed code from base64 map files. The staged code retrieves an encrypted remote payload and evaluates it. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-11T17:42:06.023Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-11T17:43:03.037Z - **Download time:** 506 ms - **Static scan time:** 265 ms - **AI review time:** 56241 ms - **Total time:** 57014 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:** Automatic install hooks stage concealed code from base64 map files. The staged code retrieves an encrypted remote payload and evaluates it. - **Trigger:** npm installation runs the preinstall or postinstall hook. - **Impact:** A remote operator can execute arbitrary JavaScript in the installing user's environment. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, lib/greensaver.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-11T17:43:03.037Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Hidden payload staging, remote retrieval, decryption, and eval execution. - **Attack narrative:** During installation, the package runs lib/greensaver.js. That hook decodes JavaScript hidden in map files, writes it into the installed package, and requires it. The decoded code requests an encrypted session from a remote endpoint, decrypts it, and passes the result to eval. It then deletes the maps and generated files. This is a concealed remote-code-execution chain unrelated to glob matching. - **Rationale:** The package uses automatic lifecycle hooks to stage, execute, and erase a concealed remote payload. This is concrete malicious install-hook abuse. - **Files touched:** lib/greensaver.js, lib/parse.ts.map, lib/init.ts.map, node\_modules/greensaver/lib/parsetmp.js, node\_modules/greensaver/lib/config.js - **Network endpoints:** https://www.jsonkeeper.com/b/V6NBX ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** Install hooks automatically run lib/greensaver.js before and after installation., The hook decodes concealed map files into JavaScript, loads the generated payload, and deletes the artifacts., Static decoding of the embedded payload shows it fetches, decrypts, and evaluates server-supplied code., The hook removes its source maps and generated files after loading them, concealing the payload. - **Evidence against:** Most of lib/greensaver.js is an ordinary glob-matching implementation., The concealed lifecycle behavior is unrelated to the declared glob-matcher purpose. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to greensaver@1.2.2. - Avoid installing greensaver@1.2.2. 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.
