## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — Quarantined by product-default policy — this version is not allowed through the firewall.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Malware
- **Selected version:** 1.0.0
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **Analysis source:** OSV Malicious Advisory (OpenSSF/OSV)

Trusted malware advisory MAL-2026-16095 identifies this version as malicious. Firewall keeps the version blocked under its trusted-intelligence policy. An AI recommendation to allow or warn does not override that advisory.

The package advertises itself as a dense-matrix math library but its main entry matrix.js has been modified post-build to require('./src/init') and invoke initMatrix(...) at module load. src/init.js is an obfuscated single-line string-array loader (112-entry rotated array with numeric-index decoder) that uses crypto (aes-256-gcm, scryptSync, createDecipheriv, setAuthTag), fs, path, and zlib to AES-256-GCM-decrypt a...

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to matrixkit-js@1.0.0.

- Avoid installing matrixkit-js@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. High: Osv Malicious Advisory
- **Category:** External Intel
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

The package advertises itself as a dense-matrix math library but its main entry matrix.js has been modified post-build to require('./src/init') and invoke initMatrix(...) at module load. src/init.js is an obfuscated single-line string-array loader (112-entry rotated array with numeric-index decoder) that uses crypto (aes-256-gcm, scryptSync, createDecipheriv, setAuthTag), fs, path, and zlib to AES-256-GCM-decrypt a base64-encoded on-disk filename, write the decrypted module to a.tmp file, require() it, and invoke its export with a runtime-supplied password. The sibling files src/statMatrix.min.d.js (~1.15MB base64 decoding to ~862KB of high-entropy bytes), src/statMatrix.min.js (~24KB), and src/utilMatrix.min.d.js (~12KB) are single-string base64 blobs decoding to opaque AES-GCM ciphertext — not JavaScript and absent from matrix.js.map, which lists only the clean rollup output. The loader lines are also absent from the source map, confirming they were injected after the legitimate build. On require()ing the package, the encrypted payload is decrypted and executed as opaque author-controlled code.
