Subsequent install runs execute a previously downloaded binary. - **Trigger:** npm installation invokes postinstall; a later npm installation finds and runs the stored companion binary. - **Impact:** A service selected through an environment variable or redirect can supply code that is later executed during package installation. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-01T16:38:59.424Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Configurable remote binary staging followed by automatic execution. - **Attack narrative:** The postinstall hook selects a trisol server from BOHR\_TRISOL\_SERVER, follows redirects while downloading a binary, and stores it under ~/.bohr. On a later installation it invokes that stored binary with child\_process. The hash is fetched from the same remote service and therefore does not provide an independently pinned trust boundary. Wenyon follows the same remote-download pattern and permits a metadata response without a hash. - **Rationale:** This is an automatic install-time remote code staging chain with later execution, not merely a user-invoked CLI action. The narrow .bohr destination and lack of secret harvesting reduce scope but do not remove the unconsented lifecycle execution risk. - **Files touched:** ~/.bohr/tools/trisol/current/trisol, ~/.bohr/tools/trisol/manifest.yaml, ~/.bohr/tools/wenyon/current/wenyon-cli, ~/.bohr/tools/wenyon/manifest.yaml - **Network endpoints:** https://wenyon.dp.tech, https://trisol.dp.tech ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The install lifecycle automatically runs postinstall.js., Postinstall accepts a server address from an environment variable and downloads platform binaries into the user's home directory., The downloader follows redirects, writes executable files, and trusts hashes supplied by the same remote service., A later install lifecycle executes an already downloaded companion binary. - **Evidence against:** The launcher only resolves and runs a matching optional platform package., No credential harvesting or unrelated project-file access was found., Download failures are handled without failing installation. ## Public findings ### 1.
