Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — Leaks host-identifying and environment metadata from any system that installs the package unintentionally. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Dependency Confusion - **Selected version:** 99.0.0 - **Selected version is latest:** Yes - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Source inspection confirms unconsented install-time external beaconing from lifecycle scripts, which is concrete dependency-confusion behavior even if framed as authorized research. Lack of destructive payload lowers secondary impact but does not make the package safe for upstream installation. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-10T08:44:13.032Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-10T08:44:38.379Z - **Download time:** 1009 ms - **Static scan time:** 20 ms - **AI review time:** 24318 ms - **Total time:** 25347 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Install lifecycle hooks run callback.js and beacon host/user/network metadata to an external OOB endpoint. The package is explicitly a dependency-confusion PoC for an internal scoped package name. - **Trigger:** npm preinstall or postinstall during package installation - **Impact:** Leaks host-identifying and environment metadata from any system that installs the package unintentionally. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, callback.js, index.js, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-10T08:44:38.379Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** install-time dependency-confusion beacon with DNS and HTTP/HTTPS exfiltration - **Attack narrative:** If this public package is resolved instead of the intended internal package, npm executes preinstall/postinstall. callback.js gathers host/user/cwd/internal IP/registry metadata, encodes it into DNS labels and HTTP query/body data, then sends it to qmktj627.instances.httpworkbench.com. The runtime module itself is a no-op, but the install-time callback creates an unconsented dependency-confusion telemetry channel. - **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms unconsented install-time external beaconing from lifecycle scripts, which is concrete dependency-confusion behavior even if framed as authorized research. Lack of destructive payload lowers secondary impact but does not make the package safe for upstream installation. - **Files touched:** package.json, callback.js, index.js, README.md - **Network endpoints:** qmktj627.instances.httpworkbench.com ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** package.json defines preinstall and postinstall hooks executing callback.js, callback.js collects hostname, username, cwd, package dir, platform, internal IPv4s, and npm registry, callback.js sends payload via DNS lookups and HTTP/HTTPS POST during install, callback.js hardcodes researcher-controlled OOB host qmktj627.instances.httpworkbench.com, README/package description identify this as a dependency-confusion PoC for an internal package name - **Evidence against:** index.js is a no-op Proxy stub with no runtime collection, callback.js uses Node built-ins only and does not read arbitrary project files, No persistence, destructive actions, child\_process, eval, native binaries, or credential-file harvesting found ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @axteams-lund-it/cookie-consent-core@99.0.0. - Avoid installing @axteams-lund-it/cookie-consent-core@99.0.0. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
