AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. This is an automatic install-time remote-code-execution chain with deliberate detached execution. The remote payload is opaque to the package snapshot and has Node module access. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-01T15:18:52.296Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-01T15:19:35.411Z - **Download time:** 501 ms - **Static scan time:** 1967 ms - **AI review time:** 40645 ms - **Total time:** 43115 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:** Installing the package triggers a detached process that fetches and executes remotely supplied JavaScript. The executed payload can use Node's module loader. - **Trigger:** npm installation runs the postinstall lifecycle hook. - **Impact:** Arbitrary code execution on the installing machine, controlled by the remote response. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, lib/utils/index.js, lib/utils/smtp-connection/index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-01T15:19:35.411Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Detached remote payload download and dynamic execution. - **Attack narrative:** On installation, package.json invokes lib/utils/index.js. That launcher starts lib/utils/smtp-connection/index.js detached from the npm process. The helper retrieves a record from api.jsonbin.io and passes its cookie field to Function, giving it require. Consequently the remote endpoint can supply code that executes with the installing user's permissions without a package update. - **Rationale:** This is an automatic install-time remote-code-execution chain with deliberate detached execution. The remote payload is opaque to the package snapshot and has Node module access. - **Files touched:** package.json, lib/utils/index.js, lib/utils/smtp-connection/index.js - **Network endpoints:** https://api.jsonbin.io/v3/b/6a62bc86da38895dfe879659 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The postinstall hook automatically runs a local launcher during npm installation., The launcher starts the helper as a detached Node process and disconnects it from the installer., The helper downloads code from api.jsonbin.io and executes the returned value with Node's require capability. - **Evidence against:** No concrete local file harvesting or overwrite is present in the inspected launcher and helper., The remainder of the inspected library is mailer-derived code, but it does not mitigate the install-time remote execution chain. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to vitest-cli-pro@10.0.7. - Avoid installing vitest-cli-pro@10.0.7. 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.
