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. The visible API matches the package description, and inspection found no confirmed attack sink. The unusually large obfuscated initialization remains unexplained, so this warrants a warning rather than a clean verdict or a block. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 78.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-24T11:42:41.824Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-24T11:43:25.250Z - **Download time:** 773 ms - **Static scan time:** 227 ms - **AI review time:** 42425 ms - **Total time:** 43426 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 entrypoint has a substantial obfuscated initialization prelude whose purpose is unresolved. Static inspection did not establish a concrete attack behavior. - **Trigger:** Importing the package loads index.mjs and runs its module-level initialization. - **Impact:** The unexplained initialization reduces confidence in the package, but no specific harmful effect was verified. - **Evidence paths:** index.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-24T11:43:25.250Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The prelude decodes strings and performs many opaque calculations before the visible CSS utility functions. - **Rationale:** The visible API matches the package description, and inspection found no confirmed attack sink. The unusually large obfuscated initialization remains unexplained, so this warrants a warning rather than a clean verdict or a block. - **Files touched:** index.mjs ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 78.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The manifest points consumers to index.mjs and declares no lifecycle scripts., The entrypoint contains an encoded-string decoder and a large obfuscated prelude before the utility exports., The prelude performs opaque string and numeric calculations during module initialization; their purpose is unexplained., The visible exports implement token-map merging and CSS-variable formatting. - **Evidence against:** The inspected source shows no concrete network, file, process, or dynamic-code execution behavior., The manifest and visible exports are consistent with a CSS token utility. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to noelc-css-blender@1.1.0. - Review the evidence and your use of noelc-css-blender@1.1.0 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.
