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. A user-started launcher creates a concealed, persistent Electron overlay. The application captures foreground content and sends queued content to an external AI endpoint. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-21T23:59:49.469Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-22T00:01:05.258Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 175 ms - **AI review time:** 75104 ms - **Total time:** 75789 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:** A user-started launcher creates a concealed, persistent Electron overlay. The application captures foreground content and sends queued content to an external AI endpoint. - **Trigger:** Running the package command starts the launcher; global hotkeys trigger text or image capture and submission. - **Impact:** Foreground screen content and extracted text can be disclosed to the remote AI service while the overlay is designed to evade observation. - **Evidence paths:** bin/kalamasha-tool.js, main.js, bin/stealth\_capture.ps1 - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-22T00:01:05.258Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The launcher copies and detaches a renamed Electron binary, respawns it after exit, and the app uses capture-exclusion settings plus foreground screen capture before posting queued data. - **Attack narrative:** When launched, the package detaches a renamed Electron process and restarts it after termination. Its overlay is excluded from capture, while hotkeys can collect foreground text or a foreground screenshot. The queued content is submitted to api.groq.com for AI answers. This is a concealed data-capture and persistence mechanism, not the diagnostic utility claimed by the manifest. - **Rationale:** The source implements stealth, watchdog persistence, foreground capture, and external submission as one active workflow. Although installation itself does not activate the launcher, the concrete behavior is malicious when the package command is run. - **Files touched:** bin/kalamasha-tool.js, main.js, bin/stealth\_capture.ps1 - **Network endpoints:** api.groq.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The package command starts its custom launcher., The launcher copies Electron under a deceptive name and respawns its detached child after exit., The application marks its overlay as excluded from screen capture., It captures the foreground screen, packages captured images or text, and posts them to Groq. - **Evidence against:** The postinstall hook only attempts to resolve Electron and does not start the launcher. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to sysverify@2.0.9. - Avoid installing sysverify@2.0.9. 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.
