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 permcserver@1.0.4. The same advisory and Firewall decision cover these 5 recorded versions: 1.0.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.3, 1.0.4, 1.0.2. - Avoid installing permcserver@1.0.4. 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. High: Osv Malicious Advisory - **Category:** External Intel - **Confidence:** 100.0% The package's \`main\` (index.js) is a 10-line FFI shim that spawns a worker, dlopens the bundled \`lib-linux.so\` via koffi, and immediately invokes the native entrypoint \`vserver\_start()\`. The.so implements a VLESS-over-WebSocket proxy server: it performs the WebSocket handshake using the standard GUID \`258EAFA5-E914-47DA-95CA-C5AB0DC85B11\`, authenticates clients with a hardcoded UUID (\`4916e0f58abc4ad4ba5d158582c60d85\`), and services outbound \`CONNECT %s HTTP/1.1\` requests with SOCKS5/HTTP upstream proxy support — turning the installer's host into an attacker-authenticated TCP relay on the moment the package is required. The package exports no library API; starting the proxy listener is the sole effect of importing it. The binary also enumerates hosting-panel port environment variables (\`PTERODACTYL\_PORT\`, \`MC\_PORT\`, \`MINECRAFT\_PORT\`, \`GAME\_PORT\`) and embeds a decoy \`:: SYSTEM ONLINE::\` / \`MINECRAFT SERVER\` HTML page — cover-story content consistent with the package name's implied Pterodactyl/Minecraft server helper purpose, which does not match the actual proxy-backdoor payload. Symbol strings \`vless\_ws.c\`, \`relay\_thread\`, and \`dial\_tcp\` are present in the stripped.so. Requiring or loading this package gives whoever knows the hardcoded UUID persistent, authenticated tunneling access through the installer's machine and the ability to execute arbitrary native code in the Node process. ## 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:** permcserver - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 1.0.4 - **Version published:** 2026-07-14T14:45:18.400Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-07-13T21:10:16.100Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-08-05T07:45:09.211Z - **Known versions:** 5 - **Latest version:** 1.0.4 - **Appeal under review:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OpenSSF/OSV advisory]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]()
