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 sass-formats@1.0.5. The same advisory and Firewall decision cover these 3 recorded versions: 1.0.4, 1.0.5, 1.0.2. - Avoid installing sass-formats@1.0.5. 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 package name \`sass-formats\` is one character-edit away from the popular \`sass-formatter\` package and reuses its original author field (\`"author": "Syler"\` in package.json), while dist/cli.js carries a header indicating it was modified by a different maintainer (\`// Modified by https://github.com/maarutan... Marat Arzymatov 2025\`). The tarball ships dist/lib/lib.min.js, a heavily obfuscated 4 KB file that smuggles handles to \`require\` and \`module\` onto the global object (\`global\['r'\]=require; global\['m'\]=module\`), tags itself with a payload-version marker (\`global\['\_V'\]='A6-519-79'\`), and derives the string \`constructor\` from a shuffled character array to invoke \`Function(args, body)\` on a second shuffled string — the canonical string-array-shuffle / dynamic-Function execution shape used by npm credential and dropper malware. Although no entrypoint in v1.0.4 currently loads dist/lib/lib.min.js, shipping a hidden Function-constructor payload with smuggled require/module references in a package that purports to be a Sass formatter has no legitimate engineering purpose, and the combination of name-edit typosquat against \`sass-formatter\` plus impersonated author identity plus a staged dynamic-execution payload matches the supply-chain attack pattern. \#\# Source: ghsa-malware (593849a1308008d25bbda542cd5504e43cae6241d7ebe1c44b08377e2afe13d5) Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. 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:** sass-formats - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 1.0.5 - **Version published:** 2026-06-07T05:19:51.528Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-07-08T21:10:25.054Z - **Known versions:** 3 - **Latest version:** 1.0.5 - **Appeal under review:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OpenSSF/OSV advisory]() - [ADVISORY]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]()
