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. Importing the package creates a detached daemon. The daemon downloads and executes arbitrary code authorized by the remote signing key. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-09T08:47:11.478Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-09T08:48:13.743Z - **Download time:** 514 ms - **Static scan time:** 45 ms - **AI review time:** 61705 ms - **Total time:** 62265 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

The daemon downloads and executes arbitrary code authorized by the remote signing key. - **Trigger:** A consumer requires the package. - **Impact:** The endpoint operator can run arbitrary Node.js code in the consumer environment outside a package update. - **Evidence paths:** index.js, lib/check-items.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-09T08:48:13.743Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Detached remote signed-payload execution through Function. - **Attack narrative:** When a project imports the package, index.js detaches a Node daemon. That daemon fetches a JSON payload from itemx.servegame.com over HTTP, verifies a signature, then passes the server-provided code to Function with require available. Signature verification only restricts execution to the remote key holder; it does not constrain that holder's code. This provides a hidden, update-free remote code execution channel in every importing consumer. - **Rationale:** The package establishes a detached, import-time remote code execution path controlled by its signing-server operator. Its scanner-directed claim that signatures eliminate malware risk further supports malicious intent. - **Files touched:** index.js, lib/check-items.js - **Network endpoints:** http://itemx.servegame.com:8888/api/x-realtime ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** Importing the main module silently starts a detached background Node process., The daemon fetches a payload over unencrypted HTTP from a package-controlled endpoint., A server-signed response body is executed with Node's require capability through dynamic code generation., Package documentation tries to influence scanner conclusions by equating signature checks with no malware risk. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no npm lifecycle scripts., The daemon rejects payloads whose signatures do not match the embedded public key., The inspected source contains no direct credential harvesting or local file collection. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to open-item-validator@1.0.2. - Avoid installing open-item-validator@1.0.2. 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. ## Public findings ### 1.
