AI Security Review
scanned 2h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe source confirms automatic install-time disclosure of identifying host and project metadata to a fixed external recipient, with no affirmative consent guard. This supports blocking as installation-time data exfiltration.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source fingerprint signature matched known malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
Package installation or import of index.js.
Impact
The collector receives the machine hostname and local installation and working directory paths.
Mechanism
The beacon builds a metadata payload and sends it in an HTTP POST to the configured address without an affirmative consent check.
Attack narrative
The postinstall hook runs the beacon, which sends the host name and local paths to a fixed external collector. The main entrypoint independently triggers the same beacon when imported.
AI rationale
The source confirms automatic install-time disclosure of identifying host and project metadata to a fixed external recipient, with no affirmative consent guard. This supports blocking as installation-time data exfiltration.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 98.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- package.json runs beacon.cjs automatically during postinstall.
- beacon.cjs sends an HTTP POST to a fixed external address.
- The beacon includes the machine hostname, install path, current directory, package name, and npm version in its payload.
- Running beacon.cjs directly calls fire; importing index.js also calls it.
