Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — Remote operators can execute arbitrary code with the consuming process user's permissions. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Block by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Remote Code Execution - **Selected version:** 1.3.4 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **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. The package contains a concrete remote payload loader and evaluator reached through its public API. Absence of an install hook does not mitigate this runtime RCE behavior. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-10T12:25:45.036Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-10T12:27:34.219Z - **Download time:** 255 ms - **Static scan time:** 68 ms - **AI review time:** 108860 ms - **Total time:** 109183 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:** Runtime use of the exported function spawns a detached child that retrieves and executes server-controlled JavaScript. This is an unbounded remote-code-execution backdoor, not notification functionality. - **Trigger:** A consumer calls the package's exported \`check()\` function. - **Impact:** Remote operators can execute arbitrary code with the consuming process user's permissions. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, lib/vcall.js, .env - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-10T12:27:34.219Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Detached child fetches and evaluates remote JavaScript with \`require\`. - **Attack narrative:** Calling \`check()\` in \`index.js\` starts a detached Node process for \`lib/vcall.js\`. That file downloads a server-controlled \`model\` value from api.jsonsilo.com, compiles it through \`Function.constructor\`, and invokes it with Node's \`require\`. The server can therefore supply arbitrary JavaScript that loads local modules and performs actions under the application's user account; the detached child makes execution less visible to the caller. - **Rationale:** The package contains a concrete remote payload loader and evaluator reached through its public API. Absence of an install hook does not mitigate this runtime RCE behavior. - **Files touched:** index.js, lib/vcall.js - **Network endpoints:** https://api.jsonsilo.com/public/c6c0b393-932f-4ae1-8fca-23c6747f4acc ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** \`index.js\` launches detached \`node lib/vcall.js\` when exported \`check()\` is called., \`lib/vcall.js\` fetches a \`model\` field from a remote API., \`lib/vcall.js\` compiles and executes fetched text using \`new Function.constructor\`., The remote payload executes with local \`require\`, enabling arbitrary module access., The child is detached and unreferenced, allowing execution after the caller exits. - **Evidence against:** \`package.json\` has no npm lifecycle hooks., No AI-agent configuration or install-time filesystem mutation was found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to notifier-funcs@1.3.4. - Avoid installing notifier-funcs@1.3.4. 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.
