Firewall keeps the version blocked under its trusted-intelligence policy. An AI recommendation to allow or warn does not override that advisory. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Installation automatically contacts an external observation endpoint. The callback provides confirmation that the package was installed. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 93.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-01T14:20:02.136Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-01T14:21:01.115Z - **Download time:** 1020 ms - **Static scan time:** 6 ms - **AI review time:** 57952 ms - **Total time:** 58979 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis.

The callback provides confirmation that the package was installed. - **Trigger:** npm installation with lifecycle scripts enabled. - **Impact:** Discloses installation activity and the connection's source address to the endpoint operator; no secret harvesting was identified. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-01T14:21:01.115Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The postinstall hook makes a fixed HTTPS GET request and silently ignores errors. - **Attack narrative:** The package uses its automatic postinstall hook to send an external installation beacon. Its runtime export is only a static marker, while the hook contacts an OAST endpoint and suppresses failures. The package's claim of harmless security testing does not establish consent for this behavior. - **Rationale:** The inspected source establishes an automatic external installation beacon unrelated to utility functionality. This constitutes install hook abuse, although the source does not demonstrate credential theft or remote code execution. - **Network endpoints:** https://5w2cezr3af2i0rvm72x74empvg18pzdo.oastify.com/bluewin/utils ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 93.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** package.json automatically runs postinstall.js after installation., postinstall.js sends an unsolicited HTTPS beacon to an external OAST endpoint and suppresses errors., package.json frames the package as dependency confusion testing and asserts harmless intent; this does not excuse the active install beacon. - **Evidence against:** The request contains a fixed package path; no credential or file harvesting is present., index.js only exports a static marker; no remote payload execution or persistence was found. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @bluewin/utils@1.0.0. - Avoid installing @bluewin/utils@1.0.0. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
