LPM AI assessed this version as suspicious; the assessments disagree. Independent AI assessment: suspicious. LPM AI assessed this version as suspicious; the assessments disagree. OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-14483 confirms this npm version as malicious. package.json declares the package's own name, modules-newline, as both a dependency and devDependency pointing to http://pack.nppacks.com/npm/modules-newline instead of the npm registry. On npm install, npm fetches and installs whatever tarball is currently served from that URL, bypassing registry auditing... ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-25T23:54:33.399Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-25T23:55:06.646Z - **Download time:** 506 ms - **Static scan time:** 21 ms - **AI review time:** 32719 ms - **Total time:** 33247 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 may resolve an unencrypted, self-referential remote dependency. The shipped runtime source has no confirmed malicious behavior. - **Trigger:** Installing dependencies - **Impact:** A network attacker or remote host could substitute fetched package content. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-25T23:55:06.646Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** HTTP remote dependency resolution - **Rationale:** The self-referential HTTP dependency is a concrete supply-chain risk, but the inspected source contains no payload or direct malicious execution. Warn rather than block. - **Files touched:** package.json, index.js - **Network endpoints:** http://pack.nppacks.com/npm/modules-newline ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for AI warning decision:** Manifest fetches this package name from an unencrypted HTTP URL in both dependency sections. - **Evidence against:** No install, preinstall, or postinstall lifecycle hook is declared., index.js only exports a Babel-style AST replacement plugin., Source has no filesystem writes, child-process use, credential harvesting, or network calls. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to modules-newline@0.0.6. - Avoid installing modules-newline@0.0.6. 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.
