## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** npm install triggers an obfuscated secondary payload. The installer downloads and executes Bun, which runs code capable of evaluating remotely supplied JavaScript and handling GitHub credentials.

- **Trigger:** npm preinstall

- **Impact:** Arbitrary code execution and likely GitHub credential exfiltration on the installing host.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, setup.mjs, math\_init.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-04T11:33:21.018Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** downloads Bun to execute obfuscated credential-harvesting remote-code payload

- **Attack narrative:** On npm preinstall, setup.mjs obtains Bun if absent, then executes the large obfuscated math\_init.js payload. That payload includes remote-response eval and GitHub token paths, creating an install-time remote code execution and credential-theft chain.

- **Rationale:** The lifecycle payload is concrete, concealed, and unrelated to an SSO backend. Its installer-triggered remote execution and credential handling meet the blocking threshold.

- **Files touched:** package.json, setup.mjs, math\_init.js

- **Network endpoints:** https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/releases/download/bun-v1.3.13/

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** package.json runs \`node setup.mjs\` in preinstall., setup.mjs downloads Bun from GitHub and executes math\_init.js during install., math\_init.js is a 727KB obfuscated payload with remote-response \`eval\`., math\_init.js imports child\_process and contains GitHub-token handling (\`ghtoken\`, \`ghs\_old\`, \`ghs\_jwt\`).

- **Evidence against:** dist/ contains conventional SSO client code, but it is unrelated to the preinstall payload.

- **Public source:** [View source](<https://unpkg.com/@arv-bedrock/auth-sso-backend@1.7.1/setup.mjs>)

Manifest entrypoint contains risky behavior absent from dist/build output.

Public source snippet (untrusted):

```javascript
Manifest entrypoint (scripts.preinstall) carries capability families absent from dist/build output: execution+network
L1: #!/usr/bin/env node
L2: import { execFileSync } from "child_process";
