This creates remote, unpinned code execution in the consumer environment. - **Trigger:** Consumer imports or requires the package's main entry (dist/index.js). - **Impact:** Arbitrary code from the remotely resolved ambera package can run with the importing process's permissions. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.js, dist/es/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-24T13:30:49.501Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Obfuscated npm-mediated staged payload installation and execution. - **Attack narrative:** The CommonJS entrypoint executes immediately on import. It Base64-decodes an npm command to silently install \`ambera\` without saving it, then dynamically requires that package and invokes a plugin returned by it. The payload is not bundled or pinned, so the package delegates runtime execution to a remote registry dependency while concealing the behavior and suppressing output. - **Rationale:** The observed top-level, obfuscated installation and execution of an unrelated remote package is concrete unconsented staged code execution, not required polyfill functionality. - **Files touched:** dist/index.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** dist/index.js top-level calls ValidateSvgModule on CommonJS import., It decodes and spawns \`npm install ambera --no-save --silent --no-audit --no-fund\`., After installation it dynamically requires \`ambera\`, calls getPlugin(), then invokes the returned plugin., The install and plugin invocation are hidden behind Base64 strings and suppressed stdio/errors. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no npm lifecycle hook., dist/es/index.js contains the expected polyfill plugin only and lacks the injected loader. ## Public findings ### 1.
