OpenSSF/OSV malware advisory MAL-2026-6454 identifies this version as malicious and supplies the Firewall block.

OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-6454 confirms this npm version as malicious. Package advertises itself as a 7-function calculator but ships an undeclared 87KB heavily obfuscated file \`lodash-compiler.js\` (obfuscator.io string-array packing with rotation and control-flow flattening) that is not referenced from \`index.js\` or \`package.json\`.

## Public findings

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

Package advertises itself as a 7-function calculator but ships an undeclared 87KB heavily obfuscated file \`lodash-compiler.js\` (obfuscator.io string-array packing with rotation and control-flow flattening) that is not referenced from \`index.js\` or \`package.json\`. The published \`binding.gyp\` declares only a benign \`noop\` target, but the tarball also ships a pre-generated \`build/\` directory whose top-level Makefile includes \`lodash\_action.target.mk\`, whose \`all\` target runs \`node lodash-compiler.js\`. When deobfuscated, the file performs a top-level \`require('fs').writeFileSync('poc.txt','Security POC.')\` — confirming arbitrary code execution via the build pipeline. The mismatch between the sanitized \`binding.gyp\` and the shipped Makefile is consistent with build-cache smuggling: a default \`npm install\` regenerates Makefiles from \`binding.gyp\` and neutralizes the payload, but \`npm rebuild\`, \`make\` invoked directly, or any node-gyp path that reuses cached build output will execute the obfuscated file. The filename impersonates lodash to evade casual review. The current payload writes a marker file, but the delivery mechanism (obfuscated, undeclared, hidden behind a sanitized gyp facade) provides the author with arbitrary code execution on rebuild paths.
