With a qualifying project README.md, it decrypts a remote endpoint, fingerprints the host, and on Windows executes its response. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-28T18:14:09.854Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-28T18:14:30.239Z - **Download time:** 508 ms - **Static scan time:** 39 ms - **AI review time:** 19837 ms - **Total time:** 20385 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Importing the package invokes a concealed bootstrap chain. With a qualifying project README.md, it decrypts a remote endpoint, fingerprints the host, and on Windows executes its response. - **Trigger:** Import or require of uuid-date while the current project README.md contains a PORT= value. - **Impact:** Remote code execution on Windows under the importing process account. - **Evidence paths:** index.js, index.mjs, lib/bootstrap.js, lib/store.js, package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-28T18:14:30.239Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Hidden README-derived endpoint decryption, remote fetch, and Windows payload execution. - **Attack narrative:** The public UUID entrypoints load a bootstrap module that silently calls extractDateISO at import time. That code derives AES-GCM material from PORT= in the consuming project's README.md, decrypts a hidden URL, POSTs host OS information, then on Windows saves the server response as a temporary .vbs file and executes it. The bundled README does not satisfy the trigger, but the concealed conditional chain is unrelated to UUID functionality. - **Rationale:** This is an import-time, concealed remote payload path unrelated to the advertised UUID API. Its current README-dependent guard does not neutralize the Windows remote-code-execution behavior. - **Files touched:** lib/bootstrap.js, lib/store.js, \/README.md, \/temp\_\.vbs ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** index.js imports lib/bootstrap on package import., lib/bootstrap.js invokes extractDateISO automatically and suppresses failures., lib/store.js reads cwd README.md to derive an AES key and decrypt a hidden URL., lib/store.js POSTs OS platform/release to that URL., On Windows, fetched content is written to a temp .vbs path and executed with child\_process.exec. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts., Bundled README.md lacks the required PORT line, so the import-time chain currently errors before networking., The Linux/macOS branch executes literal "content", not the fetched payload. ## Public findings ### 1. High: Child Process - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 85.0% - **Path:** lib/store.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Package source references child process execution. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript L60: L61: const { exec } = require('child_process'); L62: const fs = require('fs/promises'); ``` ### 2. Medium: Network - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 75.0% Package source references network APIs. ### 3. Low: Filesystem - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 70.0% Package source references filesystem APIs. ### 4. Critical: Remote Asset Decode Execute - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** lib/store.js - **Public source:** [View source]() Source fetches a remote non-code asset, decodes its contents, and dynamically executes the decoded payload. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript L60: L61: const { exec } = require('child_process'); L62: const fs = require('fs/promises'); ... L117: async function readApiFromReadme( L118: projectRoot = process.cwd(), L119: ) { ... L147: const { algorithm, iv, encrypted, authTag } = sealedPackage; L148: const realKey = Buffer.from(secKey, 'hex'); L149: ... L192: async function fetchString(url) { L193: const response = await fetch(url, { L194: method: "POST", ``` ### 5. Critical: Trigger Reachable Dangerous Capability - **Category:** Source - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** lib/store.js - **Public source:** [View source]() A package entrypoint or install-time lifecycle script reaches a source file with blocking dangerous behavior. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript Trigger-reachable chain: manifest.exports -> lib/store.js Reachable file contains a blocking source-risk pattern. ``` ### 6. Low: High Entropy Strings - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 55.0% Package source contains high-entropy string patterns. ### 7. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review - **Category:** Artifact Inventory - **Confidence:** 100.0% Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean. ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** No - **Dependencies:** 0 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 0 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 0 ## Package metadata - **Package:** uuid-date - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 1.0.0 - **License:** ISC - **Version published:** 2026-07-28T04:54:56.973Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-07-28T18:14:30.239Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-07-28T18:14:30.239Z - **Known versions:** 1 - **Latest version:** 1.0.0 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Description:** Generates a UUID based on the current date and time. for backend. - **Author:** Milos - **Runtime engines:** node: \>=18 - **Artifact files:** 6 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 10,228 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 1 - **Attestations:** No ## References - [HTML security report]()
