LPM AI assessed this version as suspicious; the assessments disagree. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Trusted malware advisory block - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Malware - **Selected version:** 2.0.0 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** OpenSSF/OSV Malicious Advisory (OpenSSF/OSV) OpenSSF/OSV malware advisory MAL-2026-16470 identifies this version as malicious and supplies the Firewall block. LPM AI assessed this version as suspicious; the assessments disagree. Independent AI assessment: suspicious. LPM AI assessed this version as suspicious; the assessments disagree. OpenSSF/OSV advisory MAL-2026-16470 confirms this npm version as malicious. The package's \`exports\` field maps the \`./package.json\` subpath to \`setup.js\`, so any consumer resolving \`require('z-deno-truth-bwhlsz/package.json')\` executes JavaScript instead of reading the manifest. \`setup.js\` writes a Deno/Hono handler to \`/tmp/h.tsx\` that reads \`/readflag\`, \`/flagserver\`, \`/app/backdoor.tsx\`, and \`/entrypoint.sh\` from the host filesystem and returns their contents in the HTTP response,... ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 97.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-23T09:39:44.879Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-23T09:40:05.080Z - **Download time:** 251 ms - **Static scan time:** 9 ms - **AI review time:** 19941 ms - **Total time:** 20201 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:** An unusual package metadata export runs setup.js at import time and drops a Deno handler. The dropped handler reads fixed sensitive paths and exposes their contents in its response. - **Trigger:** Importing z-deno-truth-bwhlsz/package.json. - **Impact:** A consumer that deploys or executes /tmp/h.tsx could disclose challenge/application files. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, setup.js, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-23T09:40:05.080Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Import-time staging of a filesystem-harvesting Deno handler. - **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms an import-time payload dropper and a handler designed to expose sensitive local files. The absence of lifecycle execution or direct networking supports a warning rather than an install-time block. - **Files touched:** package.json, setup.js, index.js, /tmp/h.tsx, /readflag, /flagserver, /app/backdoor.tsx, /entrypoint.sh ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 97.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for AI warning decision:** package.json maps the ./package.json export to setup.js., setup.js executes on importing that export and writes /tmp/h.tsx., The dropped Deno handler reads /readflag, /flagserver, /app/backdoor.tsx, and /entrypoint.sh., Collected contents are returned in the handler HTTP response. - **Evidence against:** No npm lifecycle scripts are declared., index.js only exports an empty object., No network endpoint, shell execution, or exfiltration client is present. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to z-deno-truth-bwhlsz@2.0.0. - Avoid installing z-deno-truth-bwhlsz@2.0.0. 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.
