AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package has an active preinstall disclosure to a publisher-selected research/OOB collector without installer consent, which meets the installation beacon blocking policy. The source’s claims of benignness and a triage-team request do not establish consent. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-12T18:43:38.250Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-12T18:44:08.425Z - **Download time:** 1017 ms - **Static scan time:** 8 ms - **AI review time:** 29150 ms - **Total time:** 30175 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:** The preinstall hook automatically discloses the package name to an external OAST collector. The transfer runs without an installer consent check. - **Trigger:** Installing the package runs its preinstall script. - **Impact:** The collector learns that the package was installed or resolved. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, beacon.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-12T18:44:08.425Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The script performs a DNS lookup and HTTPS GET using the package name and a publisher-selected OAST host. - **Attack narrative:** During installation, the preinstall hook sends the package name to an external OAST collector through DNS and HTTPS. The source provides no installer consent check. Its comments claim a benign research purpose and request, but those claims do not establish installer consent. - **Rationale:** The package has an active preinstall disclosure to a publisher-selected research/OOB collector without installer consent, which meets the installation beacon blocking policy. The source’s claims of benignness and a triage-team request do not establish consent. - **Files touched:** package.json, beacon.js - **Network endpoints:** db3klhbi6i9hark1kegg174t38h33b6wt.oast.site ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** \`package.json\` runs \`node beacon.js\` automatically during preinstall., \`beacon.js\` sends the package name in a DNS lookup and HTTPS GET to an OAST collector; the installer is given no consent guard., A source comment asserts the beacon is benign and was requested by a triage team; that claim does not establish installer consent. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @dransay/api@99.0.0. - Avoid installing @dransay/api@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.
