## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Importing the package loads an opaque encrypted payload from a package file and exposes it as \`desKey\`. No source code decrypts, executes, transmits, or persists it.

- **Trigger:** Runtime import of \`mkb-manager\`.

- **Impact:** Unresolved staged-payload risk; no concrete harmful action is established.

- **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:** Opaque encrypted payload exported through import-time file read.

- **Rationale:** The package has no concrete malicious execution or exfiltration behavior, but its only export is an unexplained encrypted payload loaded at import time. Treat as a staged payload carrier pending provenance clarification.

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

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 86.0%

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

- **Intent class:** Unknown

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for:** The sole public API re-exports \`desKey\`., Importing the package synchronously reads \`apps/docs/app/des.db\`., \`des.db\` is a 19,680-byte OpenSSL-salted base64 ciphertext, with no stated package purpose.

- **Evidence against:** No install, preinstall, or postinstall lifecycle hook is declared., No network, subprocess, decryption, evaluation, or file-write behavior was found., The import path only loads the opaque blob as UTF-8 text; no execution chain is present.

## Public findings

### 1. Low: Scripts Present
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Package declares npm scripts.

### 2. Low: Filesystem
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 70.0%

Package source references filesystem APIs.

### 3. Low: Url Strings
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 65.0%

Package source contains URL literals.

### 4. Low: No License

- **Confidence:** 80.0%

Package manifest does not declare a clear license.

### 5. High: Ai Review Evidence
- **Category:** Ai Review
- **Confidence:** 86.0%
- **Path:** index.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/mkb-manager@1.0.14/index.js>)

The sole public API re-exports \`desKey\`.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
export { desKey } from "./apps/docs/app/theta.js";
```

- **Category:** Ai Review
- **Confidence:** 86.0%
- **Path:** apps/docs/app/theta.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/mkb-manager@1.0.14/apps/docs/app/theta.js>)

Importing the package synchronously reads \`apps/docs/app/des.db\`.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
import { readFileSync } from "node:fs";
import { fileURLToPath } from "node:url";

const desPath = fileURLToPath(new URL("./des.db", import.meta.url));

export const desKey = readFileSync(desPath, "utf8");
```
