## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — Quarantined by product-default policy — this version is not allowed through the firewall.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Malware
- **Selected version:** 1.0.0
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **Analysis source:** OSV Malicious Advisory (OpenSSF/OSV)

Trusted malware advisory MAL-2026-17565 identifies this version as malicious. Firewall keeps the version blocked under its trusted-intelligence policy. An AI recommendation to allow or warn does not override that advisory.

OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-17565 confirms this npm version as malicious. package.json declares postinstall \`wscript.exe 4444.vbs\`, which runs automatically on \`npm install\`. The shipped 4444.vbs (~765 KB) contains a multi-layer decryption chain (AES S-box, ChaCha20-IETF, SHA-256 constants XOR-masked with 0x5A5A5A5A) over ~665 base64 chunks, decodes a payload to %TEMP% as a.dat file, drops a PowerShell loader, and invokes powershell.exe to perform process hollowing on Windows...

## Public findings

### 1. High: Osv Malicious Advisory
- **Category:** External Intel
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

package.json declares postinstall \`wscript.exe 4444.vbs\`, which runs automatically on \`npm install\`. The shipped 4444.vbs (~765 KB) contains a multi-layer decryption chain (AES S-box, ChaCha20-IETF, SHA-256 constants XOR-masked with 0x5A5A5A5A) over ~665 base64 chunks, decodes a payload to %TEMP% as a.dat file, drops a PowerShell loader, and invokes powershell.exe to perform process hollowing on Windows. Function names in the VBS are randomized (PlatformProbeLVI, DeviceCatalogUBYQ, EndpointRegistryRFX) and the \`CreateObject\` target is XOR-decoded at runtime; a cover-story header labels the file as a 'Verdant Signals Corp Device Telemetry Aggregator'. The advertised library surface — src/index.js is a trivial zod-based email-domain check with no network I/O, and the README claims 'No installation scripts' and describes a 'booking-eligibility' utility — is a decoy contradicting the package.json \`files\` entry that ships 4444.vbs and the postinstall hook that runs it. The typosquat-shaped name (typesens) reinforces the lure framing.
