Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis No additional public attack-surface or AI-review details are available. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to o3forms@99.1.99. The same advisory and Firewall decision cover these 2 recorded versions: 90.0.0, 99.1.99. - Avoid installing o3forms@99.1.99. 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. High: Osv Malicious Advisory - **Category:** External Intel - **Confidence:** 100.0% The package name impersonates the OpenMRS O3 forms ecosystem (legitimate packages are published under the @openmrs/ scope). package.json declares an optionalDependency \`o3forms-utils\` resolved as \`github:core-modules-lab/o3forms-utils\#76c1c55\` — code fetched directly from GitHub, outside npm registry scanning. index.js (lines 1-4) wraps \`require('o3forms-utils')\` in a try/catch that silently swallows errors, so the off-registry payload executes on every consumer import with no visible failure if anything goes wrong. The package.json \`bin\` field maps 11 ubiquitous dev-tool names (webpack, vite, eslint, tsc, next, jest, prettier, nodemon, turbo, ts-node, webpack-cli) all to index.js, so any hoisted invocation of those commands (e.g. \`npx webpack\`) launches this package's loader and triggers the GitHub fetch+execute. Additional attacker-hygiene tells: version 99.1.99 (version-squat to outrank legitimate releases), \`config.unsafe-perm: true\` to keep root during npm scripts, and a placeholder \`OpenMRS Community Contributor\` author with no homepage. Installing or loading this package — or running any of the hijacked dev-tool commands in a project where it is hoisted — executes attacker-controlled code from a mutable GitHub commit. \#\# Source: ghsa-malware (3e796b9c6466d2c972373d9960dbe289662608dd691a226d69b2162e6d877380) Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it. ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** No - **Dependencies:** 0 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 0 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 0 ## Package metadata - **Package:** o3forms - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 99.1.99 - **Version published:** 2026-06-01T14:58:12.684Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-08-20T16:35:05.995Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-10-01T05:38:45.809Z - **Known versions:** 3 - **Latest version:** 0.0.1-security - **Appeal under review:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OpenSSF/OSV advisory]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [ADVISORY]()
