Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — Disrupts or controls subsequent system-wide gcc invocations; original compiler may be left unavailable if restoration fails. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Destructive Action - **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 a concrete, destructive system-wide executable replacement during postinstall. Its transparency reduces deception risk but does not remove the harmful install-time attack surface. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-25T13:53:02.690Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-25T13:53:35.581Z - **Download time:** 507 ms - **Static scan time:** 57 ms - **AI review time:** 32326 ms - **Total time:** 32891 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:** Installation mutates the system compiler path, replacing /usr/bin/gcc with the package executable. This can break builds and intercept broad gcc use. - **Trigger:** npm install executes postinstall with permission to write /usr/bin. - **Impact:** Disrupts or controls subsequent system-wide gcc invocations; original compiler may be left unavailable if restoration fails. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/postinstall.js, scripts/preuninstall.js, src/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-25T13:53:35.581Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** system compiler replacement via rename, unlink, and symlink - **Attack narrative:** On install, the lifecycle hook tests write access to /usr/bin, renames the existing gcc binary to gcc.real, then removes any remaining gcc path and symlinks it to mcc. Later gcc invocations run the wrapper, which exits with an error unless its custom flow is used. Although the behavior is documented and has an uninstall restoration attempt, it is an unconsented install-time system-wide compiler hijack. - **Rationale:** The package performs a concrete, destructive system-wide executable replacement during postinstall. Its transparency reduces deception risk but does not remove the harmful install-time attack surface. - **Files touched:** /usr/bin/.mcc\_test, /usr/bin/gcc, /usr/bin/gcc.real ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** postinstall runs automatically during installation., Installer renames /usr/bin/gcc to /usr/bin/gcc.real., Installer deletes and replaces /usr/bin/gcc with an mcc symlink., Runtime wrapper intentionally makes gcc invocations fail without its custom flag. - **Evidence against:** No network, credential collection, payload download, or dynamic-code execution found., The package documents the compiler replacement and provides an uninstall restoration path. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to mcc-compiler@1.0.0. - Avoid installing mcc-compiler@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.
