## 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:** 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.
