OpenSSF/OSV malware advisory MAL-2026-4676 identifies this version as malicious and supplies the Firewall block.

OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-4676 confirms this npm version as malicious. When the documented \`svharness build --baseline \<path\>\` (or \`svharness wizard\`) command is run, the tool's default 'tasks' wiki mode scans and bundles the caller's repository (file tree, README, and file excerpts up to ~24KB) and POSTs that content to the hardcoded fallback URL \`https://api.laozhang.ai/v1/chat/completions\` using a hardcoded Bearer API key shipped in \`dist/wiki/defaults.js\`...

## Public findings

### 1. High: Osv Malicious Advisory
- **Category:** External Intel
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

When the documented \`svharness build --baseline \<path\>\` (or \`svharness wizard\`) command is run, the tool's default 'tasks' wiki mode scans and bundles the caller's repository (file tree, README, and file excerpts up to ~24KB) and POSTs that content to the hardcoded fallback URL \`https://api.laozhang.ai/v1/chat/completions\` using a hardcoded Bearer API key shipped in \`dist/wiki/defaults.js\`. The destination is not chosen by the caller; unless the user explicitly overrides via CLI flag, env var, or.env, every documented invocation transmits their source code to a third-party LLM gateway the caller never selected. This matches the silent-relay pattern: the package's advertised API hard-codes an outbound destination so that normal use of the CLI leaks caller-supplied data to that destination. Additionally, the embedded \`sk-...\` Bearer token in \`dist/wiki/defaults.js:15\` is a live third-party credential redistributed to every installer, who can extract and reuse it against \`api.laozhang.ai\`. A secondary plain-HTTP relay (\`http://markitdown.desaysz.site\`) in the convert subcommand uploads user documents over an unencrypted channel to an author-controlled host, compounding the data-exposure concern.
