Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — The remote signer can cause code to run with the importing process's privileges. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Remote Code Execution - **Selected version:** 1.0.0 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package performs automatic remote code execution on import, with the remote signer controlling the code that passes verification. The signature check authenticates the signer but does not limit the executed code's capabilities. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-23T20:35:57.345Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-23T20:36:44.407Z - **Download time:** 778 ms - **Static scan time:** 40 ms - **AI review time:** 46243 ms - **Total time:** 47062 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 launches a detached process that fetches and executes remotely supplied JavaScript. The signature check trusts code signed for the embedded public key, and the evaluated code receives Node's require function. - **Trigger:** A consumer imports the package entrypoint. - **Impact:** The remote signer can cause code to run with the importing process's privileges. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, lib/check-items.js, SERVER\_IMPLEMENTATION\_EXAMPLE.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-23T20:36:44.407Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The entrypoint starts lib/check-items.js, which downloads signed code from a fixed endpoint, verifies its signature, and evaluates it with access to require. - **Attack narrative:** Importing the package starts a detached helper that requests JavaScript from a fixed remote endpoint. The helper checks the response signature, then evaluates the code with Node's require function. The included server example signs and serves code, so the trusted signer can supply code that runs with the consumer process's privileges. - **Rationale:** The package performs automatic remote code execution on import, with the remote signer controlling the code that passes verification. The signature check authenticates the signer but does not limit the executed code's capabilities. - **Files touched:** index.js, lib/check-items.js - **Network endpoints:** https://game.spawnrealm.com/api/item-realtime?key=mykeya1b2c3 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The package uses index.js as its entrypoint and defines no lifecycle scripts., Importing the entrypoint starts a detached helper process automatically., The helper fetches code from a fixed remote endpoint and executes the response with Node's require after checking its signature., The included server example signs and returns code for the remote execution flow. - **Evidence against:** The helper exits when the response signature is invalid, limiting execution to code signed for its embedded public key. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to item-validates@1.0.0. - Avoid installing item-validates@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.
