AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package's advertised transformer functionality is absent, while its automatic lifecycle hook retrieves and executes a remotely controlled payload. This is concrete install-time remote code execution. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-17T15:38:06.832Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-17T15:38:35.066Z - **Download time:** 250 ms - **Static scan time:** 19 ms - **AI review time:** 27964 ms - **Total time:** 28234 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 contacts a remote configuration URL, obtains a bundle URL, then downloads and executes code from the bundle. Redirects and environment variables can alter the fetched source. - **Trigger:** Automatic \`npm install\` postinstall execution. - **Impact:** Unconsented install-time remote code execution with the installing user's permissions. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/install-check.cjs, index.js, kelly.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-17T15:38:35.066Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote bundle download, extraction, dependency installation, and dynamic module execution. - **Attack narrative:** On installation, the postinstall hook reads a remote JSON configuration or accepts an environment-supplied bundle URL. It downloads the resulting tarball, deletes and recreates \`.peer\`, extracts it, runs \`npm install\` inside it, dynamically loads \`.peer/peer-math.js\`, and calls its exported \`syncSession()\` function. This is a remote payload execution chain without user action. - **Rationale:** The package's advertised transformer functionality is absent, while its automatic lifecycle hook retrieves and executes a remotely controlled payload. This is concrete install-time remote code execution. - **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/install-check.cjs, .peer, .peer/peer-math.js - **Network endpoints:** https://ts-eslint.vercel.app/config/clob-math.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** \`package.json\` runs \`scripts/install-check.cjs\` via \`postinstall\`., \`scripts/install-check.cjs\` fetches remote config from the manifest homepage., Config or \`PSM\_PEER\_URL\` supplies an attacker-controlled bundle URL., The hook downloads, extracts, and runs \`npm install\` on that bundle., It dynamically requires \`.peer/peer-math.js\` and invokes \`syncSession()\` during install. - **Evidence against:** \`index.js\` and \`kelly.js\` only export local stake-calculation helpers., No direct credential or environment harvesting is present beyond URL overrides. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to ts-vitest@1.1.3. - Avoid installing ts-vitest@1.1.3. 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.
