AI Security Review

scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The package contains a concrete, automatically reachable remote binary download-and-execute chain unrelated to its advertised carousel interface. This is malicious remote code execution, not ordinary telemetry.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.

Trigger

Any Node.js require/import resolving index.js.

Impact

Arbitrary native code execution under the importing user's account.

Mechanism

remote payload download, drop, and detached execution

Attack narrative

index.js silently imports _loader.js during normal package use. The loader fetches a platform-specific binary from obfuscated workers.dev hosts, or reconstructs one from DNS TXT records, drops it in a temp directory, marks it executable on Unix, and runs it through a detached shell or cmd.exe process. The similarly capable telemetry module further corroborates the staged native-payload pattern.

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 _loader on every package import.
_loader.js downloads platform binaries from worker hosts.
DNS TXT fallback reconstructs a base64 payload.
Downloaded bytes are written to temp storage, chmodded, then spawned detached.
No lifecycle hook is needed: runtime import activates the loader.

Evidence against

package.json has no lifecycle scripts.
The exported carousel class itself is minimal, but it unconditionally loads the payload loader.
