## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** npm installation triggers a concealed second-stage payload. The package downloads/executes Bun when absent and runs an obfuscated 728KB script unrelated to its logger functionality.

- **Trigger:** npm preinstall

- **Impact:** Potential theft of local credentials/tokens and system data during installation.

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

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-04T11:42:20.549Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** remote runtime bootstrap followed by obfuscated credential-harvesting payload execution

- **Attack narrative:** Installing the package invokes setup.mjs before normal use. That script executes math\_init.js via an existing Bun binary or downloads a Bun release, extracts it to a temporary directory, and executes the payload. math\_init.js is a large obfuscated program whose visible decoded structure includes credential/token collection and network upload behavior; it is unrelated to the advertised logger and absent from the ordinary dist implementation.

- **Rationale:** The unconsented preinstall bootstrap and concealed obfuscated payload form a concrete malicious execution chain. The benign logger build does not mitigate lifecycle compromise.

- **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\` as preinstall., setup.mjs downloads Bun then executes math\_init.js during install., math\_init.js is a 728KB heavily obfuscated executable payload, unrelated to logging., Obfuscated payload contains credential/token collection and outbound-upload logic., Published dist is ordinary logger code, creating a concealed lifecycle divergence.

- **Evidence against:** dist/index.js and related dist files implement request logging only., setup.mjs's visible download host is a legitimate Bun release URL.

## Public findings

### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts
