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:** 0.7.5 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** OpenSSF/OSV Malicious Advisory (OpenSSF/OSV) OpenSSF/OSV malware advisory MAL-2026-13460 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-2026-13460 confirms this npm version as malicious. package.json declares a postinstall hook that runs \`node demo/demo.js base\`, which shell-invokes \`git clone https://github.com/Wradgio/StretchShop-demo-data.git\` at mutable HEAD (no commit SHA, no tag, no integrity check) and then \`childProcess.fork\`s \`db/demo\_data.js\` from the freshly cloned tree... ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-09T16:11:18.220Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-09T16:12:24.057Z - **Download time:** 505 ms - **Static scan time:** 1026 ms - **AI review time:** 64305 ms - **Total time:** 65837 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:** Postinstall can bootstrap a consumer project by cloning remote demo data and copying files into missing project directories. This is an unpinned remote payload drop but the lifecycle path does not execute the cloned script. - **Trigger:** npm installation; activates when consumer public, resources, or services directories are absent. - **Impact:** Creates demo application content and possibly .env in the consumer project; future use may consume remotely sourced files. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, demo/demo.js, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-09T16:12:24.057Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall git clone followed by conditional project-file copying - **Rationale:** This is a documented project bootstrapper, not confirmed malware, but an install-time unpinned remote payload fetch and consumer-project mutation is a real supply-chain risk. Warn rather than block because no exfiltration, destructive action, or lifecycle execution of the fetched code was found. - **Files touched:** demo/repo, ../../public, ../../resources, ../../services, ../../moleculer.config.js, ../../package.json, ../../.env - **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/Wradgio/StretchShop-demo-data.git ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI warning decision:** package.json runs demo/demo.js as postinstall., demo/demo.js clones an unpinned GitHub repository during install when consumer app folders are absent., The hook copies remote public/resources/services into the consumer project and may create .env., Remote demo code is not executed by the postinstall base path. - **Evidence against:** README.md describes npm installation as creating a demo e-shop project., No credential harvesting, exfiltration, eval, or AI-agent configuration writes found., The only install-time network target is a named demo-data repository. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to stretchshop@0.7.5. - Avoid installing stretchshop@0.7.5. 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.
