Firewall keeps the version blocked under its trusted-intelligence policy. An AI recommendation to allow or warn does not override that advisory. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package’s declared SVG entry runs scripts that register and activate a service worker over its base path. It accepts navigation and proxy WebSocket settings, then routes matching browser requests through the bundled controller. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-14T00:22:42.839Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-14T00:24:07.356Z - **Download time:** 254 ms - **Static scan time:** 17 ms - **AI review time:** 84246 ms - **Total time:** 84517 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:** The package’s declared SVG entry runs scripts that register and activate a service worker over its base path. It accepts navigation and proxy WebSocket settings, then routes matching browser requests through the bundled controller. - **Trigger:** A browser opens or embeds the declared SVG entry in a script-capable context. - **Impact:** Can persistently control matching page requests within its scope and relay browsing traffic through an address supplied by page messages or query parameters. - **Evidence paths:** logo-b2b3e4d75f89f6104a35c1c7a5972ddd1be2cf72.svg, index-n6q3m5.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-14T00:24:07.356Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Service-worker-backed browser traffic interception and WebSocket proxying. - **Attack narrative:** Installing alone has no lifecycle execution, but the package declares a script-bearing SVG as its entry point. When opened in a script-capable browser context, it registers a service worker scoped to the base path, claims clients, accepts navigation and WebSocket proxy commands, and intercepts matching fetches through a bundled controller. This is concealed browser proxy and persistence behavior inconsistent with a bootstrap-assets npm package. - **Rationale:** The package embeds an active service-worker proxy application in an SVG declared as its npm entry point. Its automatic scope-wide request interception and externally configured traffic relay are concrete malicious behavior. - **Files touched:** logo-b2b3e4d75f89f6104a35c1c7a5972ddd1be2cf72.svg, index-n6q3m5.js, .assets/index-c7m2q5.js, .assets/index-r4n8x3.js, .assets/index-k9v3f1.js, .assets/function-4827316.wasm ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The declared npm entry point is an SVG that contains active browser scripts., Opening the entry SVG automatically registers a service worker for the surrounding base path., The service worker intercepts matching fetches and forwards them through a controller transport., The SVG accepts a user-supplied WebSocket proxy address and stores it for later use. - **Evidence against:** No npm lifecycle hooks, dependencies, or Node executable entry points are declared. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to webpackbootstrapscripts@5.110.3. - Avoid installing webpackbootstrapscripts@5.110.3. 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.
