OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-14484 confirms this npm version as malicious. package.json declares the package's own name in both dependencies and devDependencies pointing at http://pack.nppacks.com/npm/react-remove-properties — a plain-HTTP, non-npm-registry, unpinned URL. On \`npm install\`, npm fetches and installs whatever tarball is served at that mutable third-party endpoint into the installer's node\_modules, giving the operator of pack.nppacks.com arbitrary-code delivery into the... ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 88.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-26T00:24:42.419Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-26T00:25:07.184Z - **Download time:** 523 ms - **Static scan time:** 18 ms - **AI review time:** 24223 ms - **Total time:** 24765 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:** Installing the package can resolve a self-referential dependency over insecure HTTP. Its shipped JavaScript itself exposes only Babel transformation behavior and establishes no runtime network surface. - **Trigger:** npm dependency installation - **Impact:** A network attacker or compromised host could substitute dependency content during installation. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-26T00:25:07.184Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** self-referential HTTP dependency resolution - **Rationale:** The source contains no direct payload, but the deliberate insecure self-dependency creates a concrete supply-chain substitution risk at install time. - **Files touched:** package.json, index.js - **Network endpoints:** http://pack.nppacks.com/npm/react-remove-properties ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 88.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Critical Vulnerability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI warning decision:** Manifest declares itself as an HTTP dependency from pack.nppacks.com., The same insecure self-reference is also in devDependencies., Unrelated network-capable dependencies are declared but unused by the only source file. - **Evidence against:** No preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook exists., index.js only exports a Babel AST replacement plugin., No file writes, child processes, credential access, or network calls appear in package source. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to react-remove-properties@6.14.1. - Avoid installing react-remove-properties@6.14.1. 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.
