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. Installation loads concealed JavaScript from base64 map files. That code retrieves, decrypts, and evaluates a remote payload. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-11T17:42:06.282Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-11T17:43:33.842Z - **Download time:** 254 ms - **Static scan time:** 263 ms - **AI review time:** 87041 ms - **Total time:** 87560 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:** Installation loads concealed JavaScript from base64 map files. That code retrieves, decrypts, and evaluates a remote payload. - **Trigger:** npm automatically runs postinstall during installation. - **Impact:** Allows the package publisher to run remotely supplied code in the installing user's environment. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, lib/greensaver.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-11T17:43:33.842Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Hidden remote payload loader with runtime evaluation. - **Attack narrative:** On installation, postinstall runs lib/greensaver.js. It decodes two disguised map files into temporary JavaScript and configuration files, then loads the temporary loader. The hidden loader fetches an encrypted response from a remote endpoint, decrypts it, and evaluates the resulting code. The installer then removes the loader, configuration, and encoded source files, concealing the chain. - **Rationale:** This is a concealed install-time remote code execution chain, not functionality required for a glob matcher. The automatic execution, opaque payload retrieval, evaluation, and cleanup establish malicious intent. - **Files touched:** node\_modules/greensaver/lib/parse.ts.map, node\_modules/greensaver/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:** The automatic postinstall hook runs the package's main library., The library decodes hidden code from bundled map files, writes it as JavaScript, and loads it., The decoded hidden code fetches an encrypted remote payload, decrypts it, and evaluates it., The loader deletes the encoded and temporary payload files after loading them., The library base64-decodes data and writes it as a JavaScript file. - **Evidence against:** The visible exported API is a glob matcher., No direct credential upload was confirmed in the visible loader. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to greensaver@1.2.3. - Avoid installing greensaver@1.2.3. 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.
