AI Security Review

scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

This is a concrete import-time remote payload execution chain unrelated to the advertised icons package. No lifecycle script is needed because the malicious loader runs from the main entrypoint.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

Any Node.js import/require of index.js, unless an opt-out environment variable or fresh marker blocks it.

Impact

Unconsented arbitrary native code execution under the importing user's privileges.

Mechanism

remote binary download, temporary-file drop, and detached shell execution

Attack narrative

Requiring index.js silently loads _compat.js, which immediately runs. It selects a platform-specific endpoint, downloads a binary from rotating hosts or rebuilds one from DNS TXT chunks, writes it to a temporary path, makes it executable on Unix, then starts it detached through /bin/sh or cmd.exe. The cache marker merely throttles repeated execution.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Malicious at 99.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for block

index.js imports _compat.js on every package import.
_compat.js downloads platform binaries from Cloudflare Worker hosts.
_compat.js can reconstruct a binary via DNS TXT records.
_compat.js writes, chmods, and detached-spawns the downloaded file.
lib/telemetry.js contains the same configurable download-and-execute mechanism.

Evidence against

package.json has no lifecycle scripts.
The exported index API is otherwise a minimal stub.
