LPM AI assessed this version as suspicious; the assessments disagree. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Trusted malware advisory block - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Malware - **Selected version:** 1.0.0 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** OpenSSF/OSV Malicious Advisory (OpenSSF/OSV) OpenSSF/OSV malware advisory MAL-2026-18463 identifies this version as malicious and supplies the Firewall block. LPM AI assessed this version as suspicious; the assessments disagree. Independent AI assessment: suspicious. LPM AI assessed this version as suspicious; the assessments disagree. OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-18463 confirms this npm version as malicious. 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-02T11:33:40.348Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-02T11:35:03.411Z - **Download time:** 599 ms - **Static scan time:** 980 ms - **AI review time:** 81483 ms - **Total time:** 83063 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:** An unadvertised, obfuscated module contains an unexplained dynamic code execution path. - **Trigger:** Importing or running \`build-cache.mjs\`; no standard install or main-entry trigger was found. - **Impact:** Could execute arbitrary code when this standalone module is invoked; its purpose and any remote endpoints could not be established from the obfuscated source. - **Evidence paths:** build-cache.mjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-02T11:35:03.411Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The module runs an obfuscated top-level routine that evaluates generated content and starts a detached child process. - **Rationale:** The normal package entry does not reach the flagged file, and no lifecycle scripts run it by default. However, the included standalone module is heavily obfuscated and contains a top-level routine that evaluates generated content and launches a detached process, an unexplained risk warranting a warning. - **Files touched:** build-cache.mjs ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for AI warning decision:** \`build-cache.mjs\` is heavily obfuscated and dynamically imports modules using computed names., The obfuscated module calls \`\_0xacef1()\` at top level when imported or run., It passes generated content to \`eval\` and launches it in a detached child process; the content’s purpose is unclear. - **Evidence against:** The package’s main entry re-exports \`dist/index.js\` and \`personas.mjs\`; it does not import \`build-cache.mjs\`., \`build-cache.mjs\` is not listed as a package export, and the manifest has no lifecycle scripts. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to persona-ai-sdk@1.0.0. - Avoid installing persona-ai-sdk@1.0.0. 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.
