Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis No additional public attack-surface or AI-review details are available. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to motion-tool@2.3.8. - Avoid installing motion-tool@2.3.8. 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. High: Osv Malicious Advisory - **Category:** External Intel - **Confidence:** 100.0% This package masquerades as the \`pino\` logger (README copied from pino, exports \`module.exports.pino = middleware\`) but its middleware does no logging. When the exported function is invoked, index.js detach-spawns \`node lib/initializeCaller.js\` with \`detached: true\`, \`stdio: 'ignore'\`, and \`child.unref()\` so the child outlives the parent and runs silently. lib/initializeCaller.js shadows \`process.env\` with a local object whose \`DEV\_API\_KEY\` field is a base64 string decoding to \`https://purple-kelila-79.tiiny.site/data.json\`; an \`x-secret-key\` header is decoded the same way. The script fetches that anonymous tiiny.site URL via axios, takes \`response.data.cookie\`, and executes it with \`new Function.constructor('require', response)(require)\`, retrying up to 5 times. This grants the operator of \`purple-kelila-79.tiiny.site\` arbitrary code execution with full Node \`require\` access on any host that uses this package. The combination of (a) impersonation of a popular logger, (b) remote-code-fetch-and-execute from an anonymous static host with no integrity check, (c) base64 obfuscation disguised as developer env vars, and (d) detached-spawn lifecycle evasion is unambiguous active-attack shape. \#\# Source: ghsa-malware (43abf1e27b44f8aa962b83a85c9c9b28ab5698f0b1abca5e22af781b93fd3c57) Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it. ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** No - **Dependencies:** 0 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 0 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 0 ## Package metadata - **Package:** motion-tool - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 2.3.8 - **Version published:** Not available - **Package first seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Known versions:** 1 - **Latest version:** 2.3.8 - **Appeal under review:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OpenSSF/OSV advisory]() - [PACKAGE]() - [ADVISORY]()
