Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — Remote operator can run arbitrary code with the consuming process's permissions. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Block by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Remote Code Execution - **Selected version:** 2.4.1 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM AI independently confirmed malicious behavior in this version and supplies the Firewall block. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. This is a concrete remote code execution backdoor, not required for SVG retrieval. Absence of install hooks limits automatic activation but does not remove the malicious exported capability. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-12T08:35:48.727Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-12T08:36:13.981Z - **Download time:** 260 ms - **Static scan time:** 19 ms - **AI review time:** 24975 ms - **Total time:** 25254 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:** Calling the exported \`getPlugin()\` downloads and executes arbitrary JavaScript supplied by a remote host. The evaluated code receives Node capabilities including \`require\` and \`process\`. - **Trigger:** A consumer imports the package and calls \`getPlugin()\`. - **Impact:** Remote operator can run arbitrary code with the consuming process's permissions. - **Evidence paths:** index.js, gitlab, package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-12T08:36:13.981Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote payload fetch followed by \`new Function\` execution. - **Attack narrative:** \`getPlugin()\` builds \`https://svganchordev.net/icons/106\`, fetches JSON, and executes the response's \`credits\` field using \`new Function\`. The function injects Node primitives such as \`require\`, \`process\`, \`Buffer\`, timers, and the global object, enabling a remote server to deliver arbitrary process-level code whenever the exported function is called. The included private SSH key is an additional harmful package artifact. - **Rationale:** This is a concrete remote code execution backdoor, not required for SVG retrieval. Absence of install hooks limits automatic activation but does not remove the malicious exported capability. - **Files touched:** index.js, gitlab, package.json - **Network endpoints:** https://svganchordev.net/icons/106 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** \`index.js\` exports \`getPlugin\`, which fetches a hard-coded remote endpoint., \`index.js\` passes server-controlled \`data.credits\` to \`new Function\` and executes it with \`require\`, \`process\`, and globals., \`getPlugin()\` retries silently and suppresses execution errors., \`gitlab\` contains an OpenSSH private key included in the package. - **Evidence against:** \`package.json\` has no preinstall, install, or postinstall lifecycle hook., Remote execution is triggered only when a consumer explicitly calls \`getPlugin()\`., \`setDefaultModule()\` only fetches CDN content and does not evaluate it. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to svg-fetcher@2.4.1. - Avoid installing svg-fetcher@2.4.1. 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. Low: Scripts Present - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 100.0% Package declares npm scripts. ### 2. High: Eval - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 80.0% - **Path:** index.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Package source references dynamic code evaluation.
