Firewall keeps the version blocked under its trusted-intelligence policy. An AI recommendation to allow or warn does not override that advisory. AI assessment: clean; recommendation: mark clean. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. No confirmed attack surface. The only install hook invokes echo; the text resembling a crontab write is commented out by the shell. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-23T04:39:51.059Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-23T04:40:08.444Z - **Download time:** 503 ms - **Static scan time:** 8 ms - **AI review time:** 16874 ms - **Total time:** 17385 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:** No confirmed attack surface. The only install hook invokes echo; the text resembling a crontab write is commented out by the shell. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall - **Impact:** No confirmed file mutation or execution beyond echo. - **Evidence paths:** package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-23T04:40:08.444Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** harmless echo command with commented trailing text - **Rationale:** Direct source inspection found no executable malicious behavior. The scanner hit is a shell-comment false positive. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Clean - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** mark\_clean - **Intent class:** Benign - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI clean decision:** The sole lifecycle hook is postinstall, but its apparent crontab redirect follows a shell comment marker and is not executed., Package contains only package.json; the declared index.js entrypoint is absent. - **Evidence against:** No network, credential, file-harvesting, child-process, dynamic-code, persistence, or destructive source is present., The active postinstall command reduces to a harmless echo. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to randompkga@1.0.20. - Avoid installing randompkga@1.0.20. 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.
