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. The package creates a background daemon merely when imported. That daemon downloads operator-controlled signed code and executes it. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-29T08:09:27.596Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-29T08:10:16.530Z - **Download time:** 512 ms - **Static scan time:** 34 ms - **AI review time:** 48387 ms - **Total time:** 48934 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 package creates a background daemon merely when imported. That daemon downloads operator-controlled signed code and executes it. - **Trigger:** Importing the package loads index.js. - **Impact:** The remote signing-key holder can run arbitrary JavaScript in the consuming environment without a direct user action. - **Evidence paths:** index.js, lib/check-items.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-29T08:10:16.530Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The entrypoint spawns a detached daemon; the daemon fetches a payload, verifies its signature, and passes its code to Function. - **Attack narrative:** A normal import launches a detached process that contacts the package-controlled service. The service response contains JavaScript that is executed after signature validation. Signature validation prevents third-party tampering but leaves the remote key holder able to change code executed on every importing machine. - **Rationale:** The import-time daemon and remote Function execution form an active remote-code-execution path. The cryptographic check authenticates the operator payload rather than constraining its capabilities. - **Files touched:** index.js, lib/check-items.js - **Network endpoints:** game.spawnrealm.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** Package metadata exposes index.js as the import entrypoint., Importing the package automatically starts a detached Node daemon., The daemon fetches code from a hard-coded remote host and runs the received code with Function after signature verification. - **Evidence against:** The daemon rejects payloads whose signatures do not verify against the bundled public key. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to items-validator@1.0.5. - Avoid installing items-validator@1.0.5. 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.
