Summary
Malicious code in @activepieces/piece-google-forms (npm)
Details
The published tarball for @activepieces/piece-google-forms 0.5.7 contains src/index.js which imports child_process, invokes ping-style OS command execution (line 38), and issues hardcoded HTTP POST requests (lines 25, 38). This co-occurrence — child_process command execution combined with network POST to a hardcoded destination inside a piece module that is loaded when the Activepieces host requires it — matches the shape of an installer-side command-execution and data-exfiltration payload rather than the ordinary Google Forms API integration the package advertises. A legitimate Google Forms piece would call the Google Forms REST API via the piece framework's HTTP helpers; it would not shell out or ping remote hosts. The package's name and scope also resemble the legitimate @activepieces/* piece ecosystem, which increases the likelihood that the release is a lookalike or a compromised publish rather than a benign integration.
Independent LPM AI assessment
CleanIndependent AI assessment: clean. LPM AI assessed this version as clean; the assessments disagree.
Static hints are explained by bundled Google authentication dependencies. Direct package logic is an expected Google Forms connector with no concrete malicious chain.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
User configures or runs Google Forms actions/triggers in Activepieces.
Impact
Reads configured forms and responses; no unconsented local mutation or unrelated exfiltration established.
Mechanism
Authenticated Google Forms and Drive API requests.
AI rationale
Static hints are explained by bundled Google authentication dependencies. Direct package logic is an expected Google Forms connector with no concrete malicious chain.

Independent scan evidence
public snapshotAI called this Clean at 96.0% confidence as Benign with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for AI clean decision
- src/index.js bundles google-auth code containing optional executable and cloud-metadata support.
Evidence against
- package.json has no lifecycle scripts.
- Entrypoint exports an Activepieces Google Forms integration.
- Runtime requests target Google OAuth, Drive, and Forms APIs using configured authentication.
- No package-specific command execution, exfiltration, persistence, or file mutation was found.
