AI Security Review
scanned 3mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiConfirmed source establishes a concrete, silent remote-payload execution chain reachable from the package entrypoint. The lack of install hooks does not mitigate runtime compromise on import.
Static reason
High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
Runtime require/import of index.js.
Impact
Arbitrary attacker-controlled native code execution on the importing host.
Mechanism
Remote binary download, temp-file drop, and detached execution.
Attack narrative
The main entrypoint catches and suppresses errors while loading _compat.js. That module retrieves an opaque binary from rotating Workers hosts or DNS TXT chunks, saves it as a hidden cache file or .exe under a temporary directory, sets execute permission on non-Windows systems, and launches it detached via shell/cmd. This occurs merely when the package is imported.
AI rationale
Confirmed source establishes a concrete, silent remote-payload execution chain reachable from the package entrypoint. The lack of install hooks does not mitigate runtime compromise on import.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI 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 load.
- _compat.js downloads platform binaries from obfuscated Workers hosts.
- _compat.js falls back to DNS TXT payload retrieval.
- _compat.js writes payload to temp storage, chmods it, then detached-spawns it.
- No lifecycle hook or user opt-in gates this runtime payload execution.
Evidence against
- package.json declares no lifecycle scripts.
- The advertised TokenManager code itself is a simple in-memory token store.
