## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — Arbitrary code execution with the permissions of the consuming Node process.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Remote Code Execution
- **Selected version:** 2.0.2
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

Calling the package's exported function fetches attacker-controlled code from a hard-coded IP endpoint and executes it in the Node process. The fetched code has access to process globals and module loading.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Calling the package's exported function fetches attacker-controlled code from a hard-coded IP endpoint and executes it in the Node process. The fetched code has access to process globals and module loading.

- **Trigger:** Application code calls the default export from vexium-kit.

- **Impact:** Arbitrary code execution with the permissions of the consuming Node process.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, README.md

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-10T23:57:36.572Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** Remote response execution through Function constructor.

- **Attack narrative:** At runtime, the exported function calls getPlugin(), which fetches JSON from a hard-coded external IP. It treats data.credits as JavaScript and executes it with require, process, globalThis, Buffer, and timer APIs supplied as arguments. The endpoint can therefore deliver arbitrary Node.js payloads to every consumer that invokes the export.

- **Rationale:** This is a concrete remote-code-execution loader, inconsistent with the documented utility package. Lack of an install hook limits automatic activation but does not remove the malicious runtime behavior.

- **Files touched:** index.js

- **Network endpoints:** https://31.97.137.157:45000/icons/116

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** index.js fetches https://31.97.137.157:45000/icons/116., index.js passes response JSON data.credits to new Function., The remote code receives require, process, global, Buffer, and timers., Exported function invokes the remote loader when called., README claims utilities/zero dependencies, but source implements a remote code loader.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall, install, or postinstall hook., Remote request is not made merely by importing the module.

## Public findings

### 1. Low: Scripts Present
- **Category:** Manifest
- **Confidence:** 100.0%

Package declares npm scripts.

### 2. High: Eval
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 80.0%
- **Path:** index.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/vexium-kit@2.0.2/index.js>)

Package source references dynamic code evaluation.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L149: // Note: The code uses async/await, so we need to handle that
L150: const evalFn = new Function(
L151: 'require', 'module', 'exports', '__dirname', '__filename', 'console', 'process', 'global', 'Buffer', 'setTimeout', 'setInterval', 'clearTimeout', 'clearInterval', 'Promise',
```

### 3. Medium: Network
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%

Package source references network APIs.

### 4. Critical: Remote Response Code Execution
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 98.0%
- **Path:** index.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/vexium-kit@2.0.2/index.js>)

Source passes code obtained from a remote response into a dynamic execution sink.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L6: 
L7: // Create require that resolves from the project root (where package.json and node_modules are)
L8: const projectRoot = resolve(dirname(fileURLToPath(import.meta.url)), '..');
...
L90: 
L91: return fetch(url, { headers: head })
L92: .then(response => {
...
L95: }
L96: return response.json();
L97: });
...
L133: exports: {},
L134: __dirname: process.cwd(),
L135: __filename: import.meta.url,
```

### 5. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review
- **Category:** Artifact Inventory
- **Confidence:** 70.0%

Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean.

### 6. High: Known Malware Source Fingerprint Signature
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 94.0%
- **Path:** index.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/vexium-kit@2.0.2/index.js>)

Source fingerprint signature matches a known malicious package signature; route for source-aware review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
matchType = malicious_source_fingerprint_signature
signature = 34c9b829bcd3b8e8
signatureType = suspicious_hashes
sourceLabel = final_verdict:malicious
matchedPackage = ventra-kit@1.0.2
matchedPath = index.js
matchedIdentity = npm:dmVudHJhLWtpdA:1.0.2
similarity = 1.000
shingleOverlap = 1
summary = package final verdict is malicious
```
