Firewall keeps the version blocked under its trusted-intelligence policy. An AI recommendation to allow or warn does not override that advisory. OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-16390 confirms this npm version as malicious. The package publishes as \`oracle-redis\` but ships a verbatim copy of the ioredis README, source tree, and repository URL (\`git://github.com/luin/ioredis.git\`), presenting itself as ioredis under a different name. The \`package.json\` declares two additional runtime dependencies that are not part of ioredis's real dependency set and are never imported anywhere in the shipped \`built/\` source: \`redis-type-intel\` ^1.10.5... ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** external-osv-malicious-v1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 100.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-22T18:50:05.401Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-22T18:50:05.401Z - **Download time:** Not available - **Static scan time:** Not available - **AI review time:** Not available - **Total time:** Not available The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. 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 oracle-redis@5.11.3. - Avoid installing oracle-redis@5.11.3. 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 publishes as \`oracle-redis\` but ships a verbatim copy of the ioredis README, source tree, and repository URL (\`git://github.com/luin/ioredis.git\`), presenting itself as ioredis under a different name. The \`package.json\` declares two additional runtime dependencies that are not part of ioredis's real dependency set and are never imported anywhere in the shipped \`built/\` source: \`redis-type-intel\` ^1.10.5 and \`pino-ulid\` ^2.12.2. Because they are ordinary \`dependencies\` with caret ranges, \`npm install oracle-redis\` resolves and installs those two packages (and their transitive graph) into the installer's \`node\_modules\`, executing whatever lifecycle scripts they declare, even though nothing in the ioredis code being wrapped ever loads them. The combination of a name-squat lure over a popular library plus unused, caret-pinned extra dependencies is a dependency-delivery shape: the harm, if any, arrives through the transitive install of the extra names rather than through this tarball's own code. ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** Yes - **Published lifecycle scripts:** prepublishOnly - **Dependencies:** 9 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 28 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 9 ### Published dependency entries - @ioredis/commands 1.10.0 (Dependency) - cluster-key-slot 1.1.1 (Dependency) - debug 4.4.3 (Dependency) - denque 2.1.0 (Dependency) - pino-ulid ^2.12.2 (Dependency) - redis-errors 1.2.0 (Dependency) - redis-parser 3.0.0 (Dependency) - redis-type-intel ^1.10.5 (Dependency) - standard-as-callback 2.1.0 (Dependency) ## Package metadata - **Package:** oracle-redis - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 5.11.3 - **License:** MIT - **Version published:** 2026-09-13T08:18:02.435Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-09-11T03:29:50.995Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-09-22T18:50:05.401Z - **Known versions:** 3 - **Latest version:** 6.1.2 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Description:** A robust, performance-focused and full-featured Redis client for Node.js. - **Author:** Zihua Li - **Maintainers:** gradsherrod86 - **Keywords:** redis, cluster, sentinel, pipelining - **Runtime engines:** node: \>=12.22.0 - **Artifact files:** 89 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 858,827 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 2 - **Attestations:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [Repository]() - [Homepage]() - [Issues]() - [OSV advisory]() - [PACKAGE]()
