CLI tool for Bohrium scientific computing platform

AI Security Review

scanned 1mo ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

This is not proven malware, but the automatic remote executable staging and pre-verification execution create a real lifecycle risk. The behavior is confined to the package's own tool area and no exfiltration was found.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source matched previously finalized malicious package; routed for review; source fingerprint signature matched known malicious package; routed for review; previous stored version diff introduced dangerous source

Trigger

npm installation runs the postinstall lifecycle hook.

Impact

A compromised configured download source can stage executable code; a pre-existing tampered companion binary is run during installation before verification.

Mechanism

Remote companion-binary download and lifecycle-managed tool installation.

AI rationale

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Suspicious at 90.0% confidence as Critical Vulnerability with medium false-positive risk.

Evidence for warning

The package runs postinstall.js automatically after installation.
The install hook downloads companion executables into the user's .bohr tool directory and marks them executable.
The trisol server can be overridden by an environment variable, and download redirects are followed without a host allowlist.
An existing companion executable is invoked for its version before its hash is checked.

Evidence against

No credential harvesting or secret exfiltration appears in the inspected JavaScript.
The launcher runs only after an explicit bohr command and delegates to the matching optional platform package.
The observed writes are confined to the vendor's .bohr tool area rather than general project or agent configuration files.
