## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — An untrusted remote Windows executable can run without an explicit user command.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Install Hook Abuse
- **Selected version:** 7.4.2
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

Trusted malware advisory MAL-2026-16148 identifies this version as malicious. Firewall keeps the version blocked under its trusted-intelligence policy. An AI recommendation to allow or warn does not override that advisory.

AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

Installing the package automatically executes an obfuscated downloader. It retrieves a Windows executable to a temporary path and starts it detached.

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:** Installing the package automatically executes an obfuscated downloader. It retrieves a Windows executable to a temporary path and starts it detached.

- **Trigger:** npm installation invokes the postinstall script.

- **Impact:** An untrusted remote Windows executable can run without an explicit user command.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.mjs

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-09-14T06:19:59.722Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** Obfuscated executable download and detached process launch.

- **Attack narrative:** The manifest invokes postinstall.mjs during installation. That single-line obfuscated script imports HTTP, HTTPS, filesystem, and child-process support; it constructs a TRLX.exe URL and temporary destination, calls its download routine, then starts the downloaded executable detached. This is concealed install-time remote payload execution unrelated to a Roblox API wrapper.

- **Rationale:** This is a concrete automatic install-time payload chain: obfuscated code downloads and detaches a remote executable. The behavior is unrelated to the package's stated API-wrapper role.

- **Files touched:** postinstall.mjs, package.json, temporary executable destination

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for block:** The package runs postinstall.mjs automatically after installation., The postinstall file is heavily obfuscated and imports network, filesystem, and child-process modules., The installer constructs a TRLX.exe download target, downloads it, and launches it detached., The normal library entrypoint is a Roblox API wrapper; the hidden installer is unrelated to that purpose.

- **Evidence against:** The runtime library mostly exposes Roblox API functions., The cookie helper sends requests only to Roblox and stores a session cookie locally.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to noblox-asset.js@7.4.2.

- Avoid installing noblox-asset.js@7.4.2. 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.
