## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Importing the package reads and returns an embedded encrypted payload. No execution or exfiltration path was confirmed.

- **Trigger:** Consumer imports mkb-manager.

- **Impact:** An inert staged payload is exposed to consuming code; the package itself shows no active attack behavior.

- **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:** Runtime export of an encrypted embedded blob

- **Rationale:** The package has no install hook or observed active malicious behavior, but its public API exposes an unexplained encrypted blob. Treat it as suspicious until the payload’s legitimate purpose is established.

- **Files touched:** package.json, index.js, apps/docs/app/theta.js, apps/docs/app/des.db

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 90.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for:** The public entrypoint exports a value sourced from an embedded encrypted database., The imported payload file is an 18,456-byte OpenSSL-encrypted, base64-encoded blob., No decryption, execution, network transmission, or stated package function explains exporting this payload.

- **Evidence against:** Root manifest has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., Inspected source contains no child-process use, dynamic evaluation, network client, credential harvesting, or file writes., The encrypted blob is read only when the package is imported; it is not executed by package code.
