An explicitly invoked helper transmits a supplied phone number to a third-party domain; no credential harvesting or install-time mutation was found. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Started:** 2026-08-21T18:46:13.593Z - **Finished:** 2026-08-21T18:47:13.608Z - **Download time:** 1513 ms - **Static scan time:** 2243 ms - **AI review time:** 56257 ms - **Total time:** 60015 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Importing the package contacts a remote URL solely to display maintainer-provided text. An explicitly invoked helper transmits a supplied phone number to a third-party domain; no credential harvesting or install-time mutation was found. - **Trigger:** Runtime import of lib/index.js; explicit socket.checkBan(number) invocation. - **Impact:** Import-time network disclosure and third-party transmission of supplied phone numbers. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, engine-requirements.js, lib/index.js, lib/Socket/socket.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-08-21T18:47:13.608Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Remote fetches for a banner and phone-number lookup. - **Rationale:** The unexplained import-time network request and third-party phone lookup warrant a warning. The preinstall script is only a Node-version guard, so the inspected source does not establish a blocking malicious chain. - **Files touched:** package.json, engine-requirements.js, lib/index.js, lib/Socket/socket.js - **Network endpoints:** https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alannzxd/xclient/refs/heads/main/information.json, https://xzc-corporation.biz.id/lrp?number= ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Unknown - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for:** Importing the main entrypoint performs an unsolicited fetch to a maintainer-controlled GitHub URL and prints returned content., The exported checkBan helper sends its caller-supplied phone number to an unrelated third-party host with an anomalous header. - **Evidence against:** The only preinstall hook is a local Node-version check; it performs no network, file, or configuration mutation., No install-time payload execution, credential harvesting, or AI-agent control-surface writes were found in inspected files. ## Public findings ### 1.
