No execution, decryption, network transfer, or install-time action is present in inspected source. - **Trigger:** Importing mkb-manager. - **Impact:** Opaque staged content is exposed to consumers; its purpose cannot be established from source. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, apps/docs/app/theta.js, apps/docs/app/des.db - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-31T19:00:09.627Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Import-time read and export of bundled encrypted data. - **Rationale:** The encrypted blob creates a concrete staged-payload risk, but source inspection found no active malicious chain. Flag for warning rather than block. - **Files touched:** index.js, apps/docs/app/theta.js, apps/docs/app/des.db ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for AI warning decision:** Root import re-exports desKey from apps/docs/app/theta.js., The imported module synchronously reads bundled apps/docs/app/des.db., des.db is a 17,004-byte base64 OpenSSL-encrypted blob, with no source code to decrypt or use it. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., No network, subprocess, eval, file-write, or credential-harvesting source was found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to mkb-manager@1.0.15. - Avoid installing mkb-manager@1.0.15. 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.
