It also launches Calculator on macOS. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-24T12:35:18.164Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-24T12:35:44.473Z - **Download time:** 500 ms - **Static scan time:** 6 ms - **AI review time:** 25803 ms - **Total time:** 26309 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Install-time code harvests AWS-related environment variables and POSTs them to a local HTTP endpoint. It also launches Calculator on macOS. - **Trigger:** npm install / postinstall - **Impact:** Exposure of AWS-related credentials or configuration to a local listener; unsolicited process launch. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, src/postinstall.js, src/index.js, README.md - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-24T12:35:44.473Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** shell-based environment collection and HTTP exfiltration - **Attack narrative:** The manifest executes src/postinstall.js automatically during installation. That script invokes curl with data produced by \`env | grep AWS\`, transmitting matching environment values to http://localhost:8000, then launches the macOS Calculator app. The benign browser helper does not mitigate this unconsented install-time credential-harvesting behavior. - **Rationale:** Concrete postinstall credential collection and transmission are present in source. The package should be blocked. - **Files touched:** package.json, src/postinstall.js - **Network endpoints:** http://localhost:8000 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs \`node src/postinstall.js\` on install., src/postinstall.js shells out through child\_process.exec., src/postinstall.js sends AWS-matching environment variables to localhost:8000., src/postinstall.js opens Calculator during installation. - **Evidence against:** src/index.js only changes a DOM element background color., No network or process behavior exists in the runtime library entrypoint. ## Public findings ### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.postinstall = node src/postinstall.js ``` ### 2. Medium: Ambiguous Install Lifecycle Script - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 75.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Install-time lifecycle script is not statically allowlisted and needs review. Public source snippet (untrusted): ```json scripts.postinstall = node src/postinstall.js ``` ### 3. Low: Scripts Present - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 100.0% Package declares npm scripts. ### 4. Low: High Entropy Strings - **Category:** Supply Chain - **Confidence:** 55.0% Package source contains high-entropy string patterns. ### 5. Medium: Structural Risk Force Deep Review - **Category:** Artifact Inventory - **Confidence:** 70.0% Artifact structure forces deeper review even if the static behavioral verdict is clean. ## Dependencies and install lifecycle - **Lifecycle scripts present:** Yes - **Published lifecycle scripts:** postinstall - **Dependencies:** 0 - **Optional dependencies:** 0 - **Peer dependencies:** 0 - **Development dependencies:** 0 - **Published dependency-graph edges:** 0 ## Package metadata - **Package:** @cy4dev/cydemo-bg-color - **Ecosystem:** npm - **Version:** 7.0.0 - **License:** MIT - **Version published:** 2026-07-23T16:51:53.142Z - **Package first seen:** 2026-07-24T12:35:44.377Z - **Package last seen:** 2026-07-24T12:35:44.473Z - **Known versions:** 2 - **Latest version:** 7.0.0 - **Appeal under review:** No - **Description:** THIS CONTAINS MALWARE FOR DEMO PURPOSES, USE AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION. - **Author:** Chris - **Keywords:** background, color, green, dom, css - **Artifact files:** 5 - **Artifact unpacked size:** 4,331 bytes - **Artifact signatures:** 1 - **Attestations:** No ## References - [HTML security report]() - [Homepage]() - [Issues]()
