AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The \`main\` entry points to code that starts publishing immediately on import, changes the current project’s package metadata, and repeatedly runs public npm publishes. Although the README documents manual invocation, the package entry point makes importing it trigger unauthorized publishing with the user’s npm credentials. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-04T09:51:45.013Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-04T09:52:22.368Z - **Download time:** 260 ms - **Static scan time:** 20 ms - **AI review time:** 37074 ms - **Total time:** 37355 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:** The main entry automatically renames and repeatedly publishes the current project to npm under generated public package names. - **Trigger:** Requiring the package’s main entry, or running autopublish.js directly. - **Impact:** Uses the user’s npm credentials to publish packages under generated names and repeatedly alters the project’s package metadata. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, autopublish.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-04T09:52:22.368Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Changes package metadata, invokes \`npm publish --access public\`, then schedules another publish after a delay. - **Attack narrative:** The package’s main entry runs the publishing loop on import. It changes the current project’s package name, publishes it publicly using npm credentials, and schedules further publishes under generated names. This can publish a user’s package without a deliberate publish command and repeatedly mutate project metadata. - **Rationale:** The \`main\` entry points to code that starts publishing immediately on import, changes the current project’s package metadata, and repeatedly runs public npm publishes. Although the README documents manual invocation, the package entry point makes importing it trigger unauthorized publishing with the user’s npm credentials. - **Files touched:** package.json, package-lock.json - **Network endpoints:** npmjs.com (via \`npm publish\`) ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** Importing the package’s main entry starts the publishing loop immediately., The script changes the current project’s package name and writes package.json and package-lock.json., It runs \`npm publish --access public\` using the environment’s npm credentials., After publishing, it schedules another publish after a delay, repeating the cycle. - **Evidence against:** The package description openly says it renames packages and publishes them to npm., The README documents manually running \`node autopublish.js\` as the intended use. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to intimate\_ostrich\_amethyst-45@3.1.4. - Avoid installing intimate\_ostrich\_amethyst-45@3.1.4. 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.
