Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — Disclosure of challenge/service binaries, application backdoor source, and entrypoint configuration. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Block by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Data Exfiltration - **Selected version:** 1.0.0 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM AI independently confirmed malicious behavior in this version and supplies the Firewall block. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The normal entrypoint is inert, but the intentionally deceptive export activates import-time persistence of a handler designed to harvest sensitive host files. No lifecycle hook is required for the malicious path to be concrete. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-25T20:13:10.754Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-25T20:13:31.757Z - **Download time:** 518 ms - **Static scan time:** 8 ms - **AI review time:** 20476 ms - **Total time:** 21003 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:** Importing the deceptive ./package.json export executes setup.js and drops /tmp/h2.tsx. The dropped handler reads targeted system files and returns their contents to its caller. - **Trigger:** Import or require of z-deno-truth-va499w/package.json. - **Impact:** Disclosure of challenge/service binaries, application backdoor source, and entrypoint configuration. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, setup.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-25T20:13:31.757Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Import-time staged secret-harvesting Deno handler dropper. - **Attack narrative:** The package disguises setup.js as its package.json export. Importing that subpath writes a Deno HTTP-style handler to /tmp/h2.tsx; when run, it reads targeted absolute paths, extracts binary strings, and returns the results in an HTTP response. This is a concrete staged data-disclosure payload. - **Rationale:** The normal entrypoint is inert, but the intentionally deceptive export activates import-time persistence of a handler designed to harvest sensitive host files. No lifecycle hook is required for the malicious path to be concrete. - **Files touched:** package.json, setup.js, /tmp/h2.tsx, /readflag, /flagserver, /app/backdoor.tsx, /entrypoint.sh ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** package.json:8 maps ./package.json to setup.js., setup.js:66-68 writes a Deno handler to /tmp/h2.tsx on import., setup.js:8-21 extracts all printable strings from /readflag., setup.js:28-42 extracts strings from /flagserver., setup.js:49-58 reads /app/backdoor.tsx and /entrypoint.sh., setup.js:63 returns collected sensitive content through the handler response. - **Evidence against:** package.json has no lifecycle scripts., index.js only exports an empty object., No network endpoint is embedded in the package. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to z-deno-truth-va499w@1.0.0. - Avoid installing z-deno-truth-va499w@1.0.0. 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.
