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 selparsecss-selector@2.1.0. The same advisory and Firewall decision cover these 4 recorded versions: 1.0.0, 1.1.0, 2.0.0, 2.1.0. - Avoid installing selparsecss-selector@2.1.0. 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. High: Osv Malicious Advisory - **Category:** External Intel - **Confidence:** 100.0% selparsecss-selector@2.1.0 is a name-confusion fork of postcss-selector-parser: package.json declares author 'Ai Pyramid' \ while the LICENSE-MIT, source tree, API, and CHANGELOG are copied verbatim from the upstream postcss-selector-parser (Ben Briggs). The tarball ships dist/util/webpack.min.js, a ~40KB obfuscator.io-packed bundle with a rotated 757-entry string array and an RC4+base64+XOR string decoder, whose top-level IIFE destructures exec and execSync from child\_process, branches on values returned by the os module, and calls process.exit(1) on specific conditions. A CSS-selector parser has no functional need for child\_process shell execution. Additionally, propPaths.js and selectors/wrapper.js reconstruct filenames such as 'wrapper.js' and the extension '.jsc' from CSS-hex-escape sequences via an unesc helper, and the package declares bytenode as a runtime dependency; bytenode registers a require hook for opaque V8-bytecode.jsc files, providing a loader path for code that cannot be inspected as source. The combination — impersonated identity, obfuscated child\_process-execution bundle, and hex-obfuscated bytenode load scaffolding — is a supply-chain attack shape targeting developers who intended to install postcss-selector-parser. ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** Yes - **Published lifecycle scripts:** prepare - **Dependencies:** 3 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 4 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 3 ### Published dependency entries - bytenode ^1.5.7 (Dependency) - cssesc ^3.0.0 (Dependency) - util-deprecate ^1.0.2 (Dependency) ## Package metadata - **Package:** selparsecss-selector - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 2.1.0 - **License:** MIT - **Version published:** 2026-07-15T08:08:27.956Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-07-15T18:35:04.761Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-07-15T18:35:04.761Z - **Known versions:** 4 - **Latest version:** 2.1.0 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Description:** A lightweight CSS selector parser providing built-in methods to parse, transform, and work with selector strings. - **Author:** Ai Pyramid - **Maintainers:** aipyramid - **Keywords:** css, selector, parser, postcss, AST - **Runtime engines:** node: \>=4 - **Artifact files:** 45 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 236,168 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 1 - **Attestations:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OpenSSF/OSV advisory]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]()
