## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Importing the CommonJS package silently installs an undeclared package and then invokes code from it. This is unrelated to Rollup polyfills and enables remote third-party code execution.

- **Trigger:** Any CommonJS require/import resolving package.json main

- **Impact:** Unconsented dependency installation and execution of externally supplied code in the consumer environment.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/index.js, dist/es/index.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-07-24T21:57:42.355Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** obfuscated npm install followed by dynamic require and plugin invocation

- **Attack narrative:** The CommonJS entrypoint runs on import. It base64-decodes an npm command that installs cors-update without saving it, waits for completion, dynamically requires that package, and invokes its getPlugin result. The installed package is not declared in the manifest and its code is outside this package’s reviewed contents, creating an unconsented staged remote-code-execution path.

- **Rationale:** The import-time hidden package installation and execution are concrete malicious behavior, not required for the declared polyfill functionality. The ESM entrypoint’s absence of this code reinforces that the CommonJS payload is an injection.

- **Files touched:** dist/index.js, node\_modules/cors-update

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** dist/index.js decodes and spawns an npm install command for cors-update., dist/index.js calls ValidateSvgModule at CommonJS import time., After installation, dist/index.js dynamically requires cors-update and invokes its plugin., package.json exposes dist/index.js as the main entrypoint and has no lifecycle hook.

- **Evidence against:** dist/es/index.js contains the expected Rollup polyfill plugin and lacks the injected runner., No credential harvesting, exfiltration endpoint, or agent-control mutation was found.
