Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — The external recipient receives identifying information about the machine and package installation. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Block by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Data Exfiltration - **Selected version:** 2.0.1 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) LPM AI independently confirmed malicious behavior in this version and supplies the Firewall block. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The automatic install hook and import path disclose identifying machine and installation metadata to a fixed external endpoint without a source-level consent gate. This is an active installation beacon, so publication should be blocked. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-26T09:44:09.840Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-26T09:44:34.973Z - **Download time:** 1030 ms - **Static scan time:** 13 ms - **AI review time:** 24090 ms - **Total time:** 25133 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 package automatically sends machine and install-location metadata to a fixed external endpoint. The source shows no installer consent gate. - **Trigger:** Package installation runs the postinstall hook; importing the package also calls the beacon. - **Impact:** The external recipient receives identifying information about the machine and package installation. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, beacon.cjs, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-26T09:44:34.973Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The beacon gathers the hostname, install path, and working directory, then sends them in an HTTP request to a hardcoded IP address. - **Attack narrative:** On installation, the postinstall hook runs the beacon, which sends the machine hostname, install path, and working directory to a hardcoded external IP address. Importing the package also invokes the beacon. The inspected source shows no consent check for either trigger. - **Rationale:** The automatic install hook and import path disclose identifying machine and installation metadata to a fixed external endpoint without a source-level consent gate. This is an active installation beacon, so publication should be blocked. - **Files touched:** package.json, beacon.cjs, index.js - **Network endpoints:** http://185.158.107.175:8787/\_ah/dc ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The package manifest runs a postinstall command that launches the beacon., The beacon sends an HTTP request to a fixed external IP address., The request payload includes the machine hostname, install path, and working directory., The beacon writes the payload to the request without a source-level consent check., Importing the package also invokes the beacon. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @drone-js-ext/core@2.0.1. - Avoid installing @drone-js-ext/core@2.0.1. 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.
