AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package contains a concrete remote-code-execution chain, not merely a service-worker registration helper. Absence of install hooks does not mitigate execution when the plugin is used. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-06T19:13:45.062Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-06T19:14:07.855Z - **Download time:** 506 ms - **Static scan time:** 18 ms - **AI review time:** 22269 ms - **Total time:** 22793 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:** Invoking the plugin can turn a project-local manifest path into remote JavaScript execution in the build process. The manifest is also deleted after use. - **Trigger:** A build tool invokes the exported \`swCachePlugin\` function while \`node\_modules/.bin/manifest.json\` exists. - **Impact:** Arbitrary code execution with the permissions of the build process. - **Evidence paths:** index.js, lib/manifest-reader.js, lib/worker-fetcher.js, lib/register-worker.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-06T19:14:07.855Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** manifest-controlled HTTP(S) fetch followed by eval - **Attack narrative:** A project-local manifest supplies a URL. When the Tailwind plugin runs, it fetches JavaScript from that URL and directly evaluates the response in the build process. There is no origin restriction, signature, or integrity validation; the manifest is then deleted, reducing forensic evidence. - **Rationale:** The package contains a concrete remote-code-execution chain, not merely a service-worker registration helper. Absence of install hooks does not mitigate execution when the plugin is used. - **Files touched:** index.js, lib/manifest-reader.js, lib/worker-fetcher.js, lib/register-worker.js, node\_modules/.bin/manifest.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** \`index.js\` reads \`node\_modules/.bin/manifest.json\` from the host project., \`lib/manifest-reader.js\` deletes that manifest after reading it., \`lib/worker-fetcher.js\` fetches an attacker-controlled URL from the manifest over HTTP(S)., \`lib/register-worker.js\` executes the fetched response with \`eval(workerCode)\`., The fetch and eval run when the plugin is invoked, with no URL allowlist or integrity check. - **Evidence against:** \`package.json\` has no lifecycle scripts., No hard-coded network endpoint, credential collection, or data-exfiltration code was found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to sw-pluginer@1.2.0. - Avoid installing sw-pluginer@1.2.0. 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.
