AI Security Review
scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package's import-time loader implements a concrete remote code execution chain with obfuscated infrastructure and no legitimate package-facing need for native payload execution. Absence of install hooks does not mitigate runtime compromise upon import.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
Any runtime import/require of the package entrypoint.
Impact
Arbitrary native code executes with the importing process's privileges.
Mechanism
remote payload download, temporary-file drop, and detached execution
Attack narrative
Requiring index.js silently imports _init.js. That module selects a platform payload, fetches it from rotating workers.dev hosts or reconstructs it from DNS TXT records, writes it to a temporary path, marks it executable on Unix, and launches it detached. The payload is opaque and unverified, allowing its operator to execute arbitrary code under the consumer process.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 99.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- index.js imports _init.js on every package import.
- _init.js downloads executable-sized bytes from worker hosts or DNS TXT.
- _init.js writes payloads to /var/tmp or Windows Temp, chmods Unix payloads.
- _init.js launches the dropped payload detached via shell/cmd.
- Remote hosts and DNS domains are obfuscated by string concatenation.
Evidence against
- package.json has no lifecycle hooks.
- No credential harvesting or AI-agent configuration writes found.
