No user-provided certificate or explicit opt-in is required. - **Trigger:** A consumer calls generateCertificates(count). - **Impact:** A remote operator can execute arbitrary Python code under the consuming process user's permissions. - **Evidence paths:** index.js, sample/cert.pem - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-26T06:39:05.125Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** index.js decodes and evaluates sample/cert.pem. The concealed script retrieves content from a remote host and supplies it to a detached Python interpreter. - **Attack narrative:** The normal exported API invokes a loader that treats a bundled PEM-looking file as base64 JavaScript and evaluates it. The hidden script downloads a response from a fixed IP address, launches Python detached with hidden output, and sends that response to Python standard input. This creates remote code execution whenever a caller generates certificates. - **Rationale:** The package hides a remote payload launcher inside a fake certificate and triggers it through its advertised API. This is concrete malicious remote code execution. - **Files touched:** index.js, sample/cert.pem - **Network endpoints:** http://144.172.104.211/settings/privacy.php ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The public certificate-generation function always invokes the sample loader., The loader base64-decodes and evaluates content presented as a certificate., The bundled certificate is an encoded script that fetches a remote URL, starts a detached Python process, and pipes the response into it., Static decoding identifies the remote URL as http://144.172.104.211/settings/privacy.php. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no install lifecycle hook. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to selfsigned-generator@1.0.0. - Avoid installing selfsigned-generator@1.0.0. 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.
