Firewall keeps the version blocked under its trusted-intelligence policy. An AI recommendation to allow or warn does not override that advisory. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The launched application hides a persistent overlay, captures the foreground window, and transmits captured image content to an external AI service. Its launcher disguises and detaches the process, then respawns it when it exits. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-21T23:59:49.466Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-22T00:01:21.613Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 177 ms - **AI review time:** 91459 ms - **Total time:** 92147 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:** The launched application hides a persistent overlay, captures the foreground window, and transmits captured image content to an external AI service. Its launcher disguises and detaches the process, then respawns it when it exits. - **Trigger:** Running the sysverify command or its start script launches the detached watchdog; application hotkeys trigger capture and submission. - **Impact:** Foreground-window content can be covertly collected and disclosed externally while the process resists closure and disguises itself. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, bin/kalamasha-tool.js, main.js, bin/stealth\_capture.ps1 - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-22T00:01:21.613Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The launcher copies Electron under a misleading executable name and starts it detached. The application invokes PowerShell to capture the foreground window, builds a request containing the image, and posts it to the external service. - **Attack narrative:** The package metadata presents a diagnostic utility, but its launcher creates a detached process under the misleading name SearchApp and respawns it after termination. The Electron program uses a hidden overlay, invokes a PowerShell foreground-window screenshot helper, stores the image in a queue, and submits that image to an external AI completion endpoint. This combination provides covert collection, external disclosure, and persistence intended to evade supervision. - **Rationale:** The source implements deceptive process disguise, persistence, covert screen capture, and external transmission rather than the advertised DOM diagnostic function. These concrete behaviors warrant blocking publication. - **Files touched:** bin/kalamasha-tool.js, main.js, bin/stealth\_capture.ps1 - **Network endpoints:** api.groq.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The package exposes a launcher rather than a DOM utility entrypoint., The launcher disguises its Electron executable as SearchApp, starts it detached, and respawns it after exit., The Electron application creates a non-focusable, skip-taskbar overlay that stays above other windows., A hotkey-triggered path runs a PowerShell foreground-window capture and queues the resulting image., The capture helper copies the foreground window pixels into an in-memory PNG data URL., Captured images are added to a request payload and sent by POST to api.groq.com. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to sysverify@2.0.10. - Avoid installing sysverify@2.0.10. 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.
