AI Security Review
scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThis is concrete remote code execution activated by a normal import, with detached-process persistence. The absence of an install lifecycle hook does not mitigate the import-time payload execution.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; source fingerprint signature matched known malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
Importing the package main entry.
Impact
A remote endpoint can run arbitrary Node.js code in the importing user's environment.
Mechanism
Detached remote payload download and dynamic execution.
Attack narrative
The package main entry invokes initialization during import. Initialization spawns loader.js as a detached, unreferenced Node process and stores its PID. That loader retrieves a JSON response from api.npoint.io, decodes its code field from Base64, and passes it to Function with require and filesystem path context. The endpoint therefore controls code executed on the consumer machine, while the detached process reduces visibility and outlives the importing process.
AI rationale
This is concrete remote code execution activated by a normal import, with detached-process persistence. The absence of an install lifecycle hook does not mitigate the import-time payload execution.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 99.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- The main import automatically starts the initializer.
- Initialization launches a detached Node loader and records its PID.
- The loader downloads Base64 code and executes it with require access.
Evidence against
- No npm preinstall, install, or postinstall hook is declared.
