The loader accepts invalid TLS certificates and evaluates server-provided JavaScript with CommonJS require access. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-30T13:24:35.620Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-30T13:24:58.522Z - **Download time:** 255 ms - **Static scan time:** 8 ms - **AI review time:** 22639 ms - **Total time:** 22902 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** npm installation executes a remote payload loader. The loader accepts invalid TLS certificates and evaluates server-provided JavaScript with CommonJS require access. - **Trigger:** npm postinstall - **Impact:** Arbitrary code can run in the installing user's environment with access available to the npm process. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, src/test.js, index.js, src/monitor.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-30T13:24:58.522Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** TLS-bypassing remote code execution via new Function - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package invokes node src/test.js. That script downloads data from workconfig.vercel.app while disabling certificate validation, then evaluates each received chunk through new Function('require', ...)(require). The remote server, or a network attacker enabled by disabled TLS validation, can supply arbitrary JavaScript that runs with module-loading capability during installation. - **Rationale:** This is a concrete install-time remote code execution chain, not required by the documented monitoring functionality. The benign runtime implementation does not mitigate the postinstall loader. - **Files touched:** package.json, src/test.js - **Network endpoints:** https://workconfig.vercel.app ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs src/test.js via postinstall., src/test.js fetches https://workconfig.vercel.app at install time., src/test.js disables TLS certificate verification., Fetched response data is executed with new Function and require. - **Evidence against:** index.js and src/{monitor,memory,errors,plugins}.js implement a local monitoring API., No benign runtime source code contacts the network. ## Public findings ### 1.
