Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — Remote operator can run arbitrary Node.js code with the consuming application's permissions. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Block by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Remote Code Execution - **Selected version:** 3.3.7 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM AI independently confirmed malicious behavior in this version and supplies the Firewall block. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Source inspection confirms a concrete remote payload fetch-and-execute chain, independent of scanner labels. The lack of install hooks does not mitigate runtime arbitrary code execution in a package consumer. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-12T11:34:33.115Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-12T11:35:08.704Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 68 ms - **AI review time:** 35010 ms - **Total time:** 35589 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:** Calling the exported middleware launches a detached child process. That child fetches attacker-controlled JavaScript from a fixed remote endpoint and executes it with CommonJS \`require\` access. - **Trigger:** Application calls the exported middleware from \`index.js\`. - **Impact:** Remote operator can run arbitrary Node.js code with the consuming application's permissions. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, lib/caller.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-12T11:35:08.704Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Detached child process retrieves and dynamically executes remote code. - **Attack narrative:** At runtime, \`index.js\` starts detached \`node lib/caller.js\` whenever its exported middleware is called. \`lib/caller.js\` requests a fixed URL, extracts \`data.cookie\`, compiles it with the \`Function\` constructor, and invokes it with \`require\`, giving remotely supplied code local module-loading capability. This is an explicit remote-code-execution loader disguised within an unrelated logger-derived package structure. - **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms a concrete remote payload fetch-and-execute chain, independent of scanner labels. The lack of install hooks does not mitigate runtime arbitrary code execution in a package consumer. - **Files touched:** index.js, lib/caller.js - **Network endpoints:** https://json.extendsclass.com/bin/250fca079abb ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** \`index.js\` spawns detached \`node\` when middleware is invoked., \`lib/caller.js\` fetches a remote response from \`https://json.extendsclass.com/bin/250fca079abb\`., \`lib/caller.js\` passes response field \`cookie\` to \`Function\` and executes it with \`require\`., \`lib/caller.js\` retries remote payload execution up to five times and suppresses errors., \`package.json\` has no lifecycle scripts; remote execution occurs at package runtime. - **Evidence against:** No package lifecycle hook is declared in \`package.json\`., No concrete credential harvesting, filesystem writes, or AI-agent configuration mutation appears in inspected JavaScript., The remote execution path is activated through the exported middleware, not module import alone. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to type-async@3.3.7. - Avoid installing type-async@3.3.7. 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.
