OpenSSF/OSV malware advisory MAL-2026-6452 identifies this version as malicious and supplies the Firewall block.

OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-6452 confirms this npm version as malicious. Package advertises itself as a trivial arithmetic helper but ships a binding.gyp whose \`sources\` list uses gyp's \`\<!(...)\` shell expansion: \`"\<!(node lodash-compiler.js && echo stub.c)"\`. Because binding.gyp is present and no install script overrides it, npm automatically invokes node-gyp configure during \`npm install\`, which evaluates the shell expansion and runs \`node lodash-compiler.js\` on the installer's machine...

## Public findings

### 1. High: Osv Malicious Advisory
- **Category:** External Intel
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Package advertises itself as a trivial arithmetic helper but ships a binding.gyp whose \`sources\` list uses gyp's \`\<!(...)\` shell expansion: \`"\<!(node lodash-compiler.js && echo stub.c)"\`. Because binding.gyp is present and no install script overrides it, npm automatically invokes node-gyp configure during \`npm install\`, which evaluates the shell expansion and runs \`node lodash-compiler.js\` on the installer's machine in the package's working directory. lodash-compiler.js is an 87KB obfuscator.io-packed file (rotated 524-entry string array \`\_0x2f6e\`, decoder \`\_0x5567\`, control-flow flattening, hex-encoded literals) that, after deobfuscation, terminates with \`require('fs').writeFileSync('poc.txt','Security POC.')\` — demonstrating arbitrary filesystem write at install time. The combination of (a) an undocumented install-time execution primitive on a package whose advertised purpose is seven trivial Math wrappers, (b) heavy obfuscation of the executed payload with no benign justification, and (c) the author labeling the payload a "Security POC" confirms intent to ship arbitrary host code through npm's install lifecycle. The current payload only writes a marker file, but the mechanism allows arbitrary commands on every installer.
