OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-18182 confirms this npm version as malicious. test-brotli2-testmetest 1.0.0 ships a rebuild of the data-pipeline-testmetest 2.0.1 credential stealer and runs it on \`npm install\`: its \`install\` script runs \`node-gyp rebuild\`, and the \`binding.gyp\` source \`\/dev/null 2\>&1; echo stub.c)\` makes node-gyp run \`index.js\`, an obfuscated loader that decrypts a Brotli-compressed payload and pipes it into Bun... ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 83.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-22T04:59:23.602Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-22T05:00:11.015Z - **Download time:** 519 ms - **Static scan time:** 471 ms - **AI review time:** 46423 ms - **Total time:** 47413 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:** Installation runs a large obfuscated entrypoint through the build configuration. Its behavior could not be resolved from the inspected source, so a concrete attack is not established. - **Trigger:** Installing the package invokes its install hook and native build tool. - **Impact:** Unknown because the evaluated payload's behavior is unresolved. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, binding.gyp, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-22T05:00:11.015Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The build configuration runs index.js during source-list evaluation; that file evaluates code assembled from encoded data. - **Rationale:** The install path reaches heavily obfuscated code that is evaluated at runtime, leaving a real unresolved risk. The inspected source does not establish concrete malicious behavior, so this merits a warning rather than a block. ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 83.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for AI warning decision:** The package install hook runs the native build tool., The build configuration runs the entrypoint while resolving its source list, so installation reaches that file., The entrypoint immediately evaluates code assembled from encoded numeric data, and its payload behavior remains unresolved. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to test-brotli2-testmetest@1.0.0. - Avoid installing test-brotli2-testmetest@1.0.0. 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.

Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review - **Category:** Artifact Inventory - **Confidence:** 80.0% Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean. ### 6. Low: No License - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 80.0% Package manifest does not declare a clear license. ### 7. High: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 83.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() The package install hook runs the native build tool.
