AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package contains a concrete, reachable import-time remote payload execution chain unrelated to its advertised minimal interface. This is malicious behavior, not benign telemetry. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-03T08:41:08.504Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-03T08:41:28.795Z - **Download time:** 506 ms - **Static scan time:** 39 ms - **AI review time:** 19745 ms - **Total time:** 20291 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:** Importing the package silently initiates a remote payload retrieval chain. A received binary is persisted in a temp directory and executed detached. - **Trigger:** Any runtime require/import of index.js - **Impact:** Arbitrary native code execution under the importing process user. - **Evidence paths:** index.js, \_init.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-03T08:41:28.795Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** import-time remote binary download and detached execution - **Attack narrative:** index.js catches and invokes \_init.js during import. \_init.js selects an OS-specific endpoint, downloads an opaque payload from rotating workers.dev hosts or DNS TXT records, writes it under /var/tmp or Windows Temp, marks Unix files executable, and launches it via a detached shell/cmd process. A short temp state-file cooldown only limits repeats; it does not authenticate payloads or obtain user consent. - **Rationale:** The package contains a concrete, reachable import-time remote payload execution chain unrelated to its advertised minimal interface. This is malicious behavior, not benign telemetry. - **Files touched:** index.js, \_init.js - **Network endpoints:** oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf99-9b3.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf102-baf.workers.dev, tin.dl.well1.site, tina.dl.well1.site, ldr.dl.well1.site, win.dl.well1.site ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** index.js imports \_init.js on every package import., \_init.js downloads platform payloads from four worker hosts., \_init.js reconstructs payloads through DNS TXT fallbacks., Downloaded bytes are written to temp storage, chmodded, and detached-spawned., No checksum, signature, or user action gates remote execution. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts., The exported API is otherwise a minimal inert wrapper. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to hubert-verify-primary-email-am@20.4.6. - Avoid installing hubert-verify-primary-email-am@20.4.6. 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.
