No explicit data payload is shown, so the request’s purpose and any data collected remain unresolved. - **Trigger:** Package installation runs the preinstall hook. - **Impact:** The endpoint receives the installer’s network address; the inspected source does not show credentials or local files being sent. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-14T00:30:08.160Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The hook runs the entrypoint, which sends an HTTPS GET request to the callback endpoint. - **Rationale:** The package makes an automatic, unexplained network request during installation, which warrants a warning. The source does not establish what the endpoint collects or show a concrete attack, so the risk remains unresolved. - **Files touched:** package.json, index.js - **Network endpoints:** https://accenture-npm.azurewebsites.net/async ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 84.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for AI warning decision:** The preinstall hook automatically runs the package entrypoint., The entrypoint sends an HTTPS request to a publisher-associated callback host during installation., The request has no explicit payload or response handling, leaving its purpose unclear. - **Evidence against:** The source does not show credentials, files, or host details being collected or sent. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @accenturecodefoundry/mfe-pot-shared-ui-scds-core@99.99.4. - Avoid installing @accenturecodefoundry/mfe-pot-shared-ui-scds-core@99.99.4.
