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 ratelimitsucks6@2.0.0. The same advisory and Firewall decision cover these 3 recorded versions: 1.1.7, 1.7.7, 2.0.0. - Avoid installing ratelimitsucks6@2.0.0. 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. High: Osv Malicious Advisory - **Category:** External Intel - **Confidence:** 100.0% The tarball ships \`auto-publish.sh\`, a script that republishes the same payload under ~100 distinct npm names (\`ishowfeet1\`-\`ishowfeet20\`, \`nottuff1\`-\`nottuff30\`, \`abuden\*\`, \`imillegal\*\`, \`ratelimitsucks\*\`, etc/) by rewriting \`package.json.name\` and running \`npm publish --silent\` in a loop — namespace-spam infrastructure shipped inside the package itself. The package's declared \`main\` is \`sw.js\`, a browser Service Worker (\`importScripts('./8cfc2/hgshm.js')\`, \`self.addEventListener('install'|'activate'|'fetch'|'message')\`) that throws immediately if loaded from Node. The shipped assets are a heavily obfuscated Ultraviolet/bare-mux web-proxy frontend with an \`index.html\` themed as "Riverbend Tutoring" that hides a popunder redirect to \`https://abdct.com/\` on click/keydown/touchstart. \`package.json\` declares no \`preinstall\`/\`install\`/\`postinstall\`/\`prepare\` hooks, and \`require('ishowfeet9')\` from Node fails before any code runs, so a Node installer experiences no auto-execution. The harm is registry abuse (mass-publication of a misleading name family) and a browser-side proxy/popunder served to whoever later loads these static assets — not installer-side compromise. Routing to human review for namespace-abuse adjudication. \#\# Source: ghsa-malware (a8ae72b1f3887257d0fead22f84c498b8b8f135a21b1a03b9bbb50d28b14618f) Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.

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. ## 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:** ratelimitsucks6 - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 2.0.0 - **Version published:** 2026-07-10T13:04:08.800Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-07-13T11:00:33.513Z - **Known versions:** 3 - **Latest version:** 2.0.0 - **Appeal under review:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OpenSSF/OSV advisory]() - [PACKAGE]() - [ADVISORY]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]()
