## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** npm preinstall executes an obfuscated payload before the package is usable. The loader fetches an interpreter if needed and runs payload code that evaluates remotely obtained text and targets GitHub credentials.

- **Trigger:** npm install, via preinstall

- **Impact:** Arbitrary code can run with installer privileges; GitHub credentials may be collected or exfiltrated.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, setup.mjs, math\_init.js, dist/cjs/index.js, dist/cjs/AuthSSO.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-04T11:33:32.631Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** remote code execution and credential harvesting through an obfuscated install-time payload

- **Attack narrative:** Installing the package invokes setup.mjs. It downloads and executes Bun when unavailable, then runs the large obfuscated math\_init.js payload. That payload evaluates response text at runtime and includes branches for GitHub token sources, enabling an unconsented install-time remote-code and credential-theft chain.

- **Rationale:** The benign-looking distributed SSO library does not justify an obfuscated preinstall downloader/interpreter bootstrapper that executes a credential-oriented payload. This is concrete malicious install-time behavior.

- **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 setup.mjs during preinstall., setup.mjs downloads Bun 1.3.13 then executes math\_init.js., math\_init.js is a 728KB obfuscated payload with remote-response eval., math\_init.js contains GitHub token-harvesting branches (ghtoken, ghs\_old, ghs\_jwt)., Published dist is a normal SSO client, diverging from install-time payload.

- **Evidence against:** dist/cjs entrypoints implement configured SSO API requests only., No malicious behavior is invoked by normal package import.
