## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Calling getPlugin or setPlugin scans a supplied directory and runs a concealed npm install. It then loads and executes code from the newly installed dependency.

- **Trigger:** A consumer calls getPlugin(dirPath) or setPlugin(dirPath), including on an SVG file.

- **Impact:** Remote code execution in the consuming project's environment.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-07-31T22:53:37.832Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** Obfuscated runtime dependency installation followed by dynamic module execution.

- **Attack narrative:** The exported SVG-scanning APIs read recursive user-selected paths, then decode an npm install command for node-internal-svg-loader, spawn it silently, dynamically require that package, and invoke its plugin function. This is an undeclared, obfuscated runtime payload acquisition and execution chain unrelated to SVG validation.

- **Rationale:** Direct inspection confirms a reachable obfuscated npm-install-and-execute path in index.js. The absence of install hooks limits automatic activation but does not remove the concrete runtime RCE behavior.

- **Files touched:** index.js, user-supplied dirPath/\*\*/\*.svg, node\_modules/node-internal-svg-loader

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** index.js decodes and spawns \`npm install node-internal-svg-loader\`., The installed module is dynamically required and its getPlugin/setPlugin method is invoked., Both exported recursive SVG scanners trigger that chain for user-supplied paths., Child process output is suppressed and Windows execution is hidden.

- **Evidence against:** package.json has no preinstall/install/postinstall lifecycle hook., No credential collection or exfiltration is present in the inspected files.

## Public findings

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

Package declares npm scripts.

### 2. Medium: Dynamic Require
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 75.0%
- **Path:** index.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/vite-svg-parse@1.1.3/index.js>)

Package source references dynamic require/import behavior.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L17: // Node built-ins for filesystem access and path manipulation.
L18: const fs = require('fs');
L19: const path = require('path');
```

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

Package source references network APIs.

### 4. Low: Filesystem
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 70.0%

Package source references filesystem APIs.

### 5. Critical: Encoded Package Runner Execution
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 91.0%
- **Path:** index.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/vite-svg-parse@1.1.3/index.js>)

Source decodes numeric character arrays into a child-process package-runner command and executes it.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
L17: // Node built-ins for filesystem access and path manipulation.
L18: const fs = require('fs');
L19: const path = require('path');
```

### 6. Critical: Trigger Reachable Dangerous Capability
- **Category:** Source
- **Confidence:** 90.0%
- **Path:** index.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/vite-svg-parse@1.1.3/index.js>)

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.main -> index.js
Reachable file contains a blocking source-risk pattern.
```

### 7. Low: High Entropy Strings
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 55.0%

Package source contains high-entropy string patterns.

### 8. 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.

### 9. High: Known Malware Source Similarity
- **Category:** Static
- **Confidence:** 97.0%
- **Path:** index.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/vite-svg-parse@1.1.3/index.js>)

Source file is highly similar to a previously finalized malicious package; route for source-aware review.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
matchType = normalized_sha256
matchedPackage = vite-config-svg@1.1.7
matchedPath = index.js
matchedIdentity = npm:dml0ZS1jb25maWctc3Zn:1.1.7
similarity = 1.000
summary = normalized source hash matched finalized malicious source
```

### 10. High: Known Malware Source Fingerprint Signature
- **Category:** Supply Chain
- **Confidence:** 94.0%
- **Path:** index.js
- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/vite-svg-parse@1.1.3/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 = 289d11d48b3841df
signatureType = suspicious_hashes
sourceLabel = final_verdict:malicious
matchedPackage = vite-config-svg@1.1.7
matchedPath = index.js
matchedIdentity = npm:dml0ZS1jb25maWctc3Zn:1.1.7
similarity = 1.000
shingleOverlap = 1
summary = package final verdict is malicious
```
