AI Security Review
scanned 11d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe automatic preinstall beacon discloses installation activity to a fixed external endpoint, and the source contains reviewer-directed claims of benignness. These source facts support blocking as install-time beaconing with reviewer manipulation.
Decision evidence
public snapshot- `package.json` runs `beacon.js` automatically during preinstall.
- `beacon.js` performs a DNS lookup and HTTPS GET to `db3klhbi6i9hark1kegg174t38h33b6wt.oast.site`, encoding the package name in both requests.
- The beacon comments directly address reviewers and assert the package is benign, which is evidence of reviewer manipulation.
- The beacon sends only the package name; inspected code does not read environment variables or files.
- The requests are wrapped in error handling and do not prevent installation.
