Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. When a host app initializes remoteConfig, the package fetches hidden remote configuration and uses it to control random network-error injection. This can disrupt POS application requests, including targeted stores. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 92.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-26T06:38:15.569Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-26T06:38:59.072Z - **Download time:** 251 ms - **Static scan time:** 19 ms - **AI review time:** 43233 ms - **Total time:** 43503 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:** When a host app initializes remoteConfig, the package fetches hidden remote configuration and uses it to control random network-error injection. This can disrupt POS application requests, including targeted stores. - **Trigger:** A consuming application calls remoteConfig.init or forceRefresh, then uses faultInjector.shouldFail. - **Impact:** Remote party can enable and target denial-of-service-like network failures in consuming POS applications. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/RemoteConfig.js, dist/FaultInjector.js, dist/types.js, dist/whitelist.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-26T06:38:59.072Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Obfuscated remote configuration controls probabilistic request failure injection. - **Rationale:** The package contains a concrete covert remote-control path for injecting network failures into consumers. Its explicit activation requirement lowers propagation risk but does not remove the malicious runtime behavior. Product guard normalized a non-low false-positive publish\_block request to warn-only suspicious. - **Files touched:** dist/RemoteConfig.js, dist/FaultInjector.js - **Network endpoints:** https://api.xintwish.com/api/fault-config ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 92.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** Remote configuration endpoint is Base64-obscured and decoded at runtime., Runtime-fetched config is applied directly to the fault injector., Enabled config randomly injects network errors, including per-store targeting. - **Evidence against:** No preinstall, install, or postinstall hook; prepublishOnly only builds., Default configuration disables failures; activation requires consumer calls to init or forceRefresh., No credential harvesting, shell execution, or local file access found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to network-stab--helper@1.0.1. - Review the evidence and your use of network-stab--helper@1.0.1 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
