AI Security Review
scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThis is a concrete, automatic remote-payload execution chain unrelated to the declared carousel functionality. It is malicious despite having no npm lifecycle script.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
Importing or requiring the package entrypoint.
Impact
Unconsented arbitrary native code execution in the importing user's environment.
Mechanism
Remote binary download, temporary-file drop, permission change, and detached execution.
Attack narrative
Requiring index.js catches and suppresses errors from requiring _adapter.js, whose top-level run() executes immediately. It checks a short cooldown marker, fetches a platform-specific binary from obfuscated remote hosts or reconstructs one through DNS TXT records, writes it to a temporary filename, marks it executable on Unix, and launches it detached through /bin/sh or cmd.exe. The unrelated-looking telemetry implementation contains a similar configurable downloader/executor pattern but is not required by the entrypoint.
AI rationale
This is a concrete, automatic remote-payload execution chain unrelated to the declared carousel functionality. It is malicious despite having no npm lifecycle script.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 99.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- index.js imports _adapter.js automatically on package import.
- _adapter.js downloads binaries from three workers.dev hosts and DNS TXT fallbacks.
- _adapter.js writes the payload to a temp path, chmods it on Unix, then detached-spawns it via shell/cmd.
- No payload signature, hash validation, or user opt-in is present.
- package.json has no lifecycle hook; the trigger is ordinary runtime import.
Evidence against
- The declared carousel API in index.js is otherwise minimal.
- lib/telemetry.js is not imported by the package entrypoint.
