AI Security Review

scanned 11d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The package performs an automatic external beacon during preinstall, and its source includes unsupported claims of benignness and approval aimed at framing review. This supports blocking as a dependency-confusion probe.

Static reason

One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source fingerprint signature matched known malicious package; routed for review

Trigger

Package installation runs the preinstall hook.

Impact

An external recipient can observe the package installation; the inspected request does not include local files or environment values.

Mechanism

The hook performs a DNS lookup and HTTPS GET containing the package name.

Attack narrative

On installation, the preinstall hook runs beacon.js, which sends a DNS lookup and HTTPS GET to a hard-coded external host. The request identifies the package. The source comments assert benign intent and approval, but those assertions do not verify consent and are treated as reviewer-directed claims.

Decision evidence

public snapshot

AI called this Malicious at 91.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.

Evidence for block

package.json runs beacon.js automatically during preinstall.
beacon.js sends a DNS lookup and HTTPS request to a hard-coded external host, using the package name in the request.
beacon.js comments call the package benign and claim it was approved by a security triage team; those claims do not establish consent.

Evidence against

The request path contains only the package name; inspected code does not read environment variables or files.
