LPM AI assessed this version as suspicious; the assessments disagree. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Trusted malware advisory block - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Malware - **Selected version:** 1.1.0 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** OpenSSF/OSV Malicious Advisory (OpenSSF/OSV) OpenSSF/OSV malware advisory MAL-2026-12805 identifies this version as malicious and supplies the Firewall block. LPM AI assessed this version as suspicious; the assessments disagree. Independent AI assessment: suspicious. LPM AI assessed this version as suspicious; the assessments disagree. OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-12805 confirms this npm version as malicious. The package declares a postinstall script that runs dist/config.js. That script fetches JSON from https://my-api.trade-api.workers.dev?id=2 and then executes \`globalThis\[data.success\](data.id)\`, where both the method name and its argument are supplied by the remote server... ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 94.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-05T14:54:44.841Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-05T14:55:09.083Z - **Download time:** 505 ms - **Static scan time:** 34 ms - **AI review time:** 23703 ms - **Total time:** 24242 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Install-time code contains an inert remote-controlled invocation chain unrelated to package functionality. It cannot complete as shipped but is a staged payload carrier. - **Trigger:** npm installation - **Impact:** A corrected payload could enable install-time remote-directed behavior. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, dist/config.js, dist/index.js, src/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-05T14:55:09.083Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall remote fetch and response-selected global call - **Rationale:** The source contains an install-time remote-control pattern, but no executable malicious chain completes in the shipped package. Warn rather than block because the carrier is inert. - **Files touched:** package.json, dist/config.js - **Network endpoints:** https://my-api.trade-api.workers.dev?id=2 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 94.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI warning decision:** package.json runs dist/config.js at postinstall., dist/config.js contains a remote fetch to my-api.trade-api.workers.dev., Remote response selects a global function and argument dynamically., The config code is unrelated to the documented path utilities. - **Evidence against:** No file or credential harvesting appears in shipped modules., The postinstall payload is inert: undefined tag/text precede fetch, and top-level await/import.meta conflicts with CommonJS packaging. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to strath@1.1.0. - Avoid installing strath@1.1.0. 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.
