Importing its entrypoint also triggers the report. - **Trigger:** Package installation or importing index.js. - **Impact:** The endpoint receives identifying information about the installing machine and project without an evident consent step. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, beacon.cjs, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-26T09:44:46.226Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** A postinstall hook and the entrypoint invoke beacon.cjs, which sends a JSON POST containing the hostname, install path, working directory, and npm version. - **Attack narrative:** The postinstall hook runs a beacon that sends machine and project identifiers to a hardcoded external IP address. Importing the package entrypoint triggers the same report, without a consent check in the inspected code. - **Rationale:** Source inspection confirms automatic installation-time disclosure of host and project identity to a hardcoded external endpoint. This supports blocking the package as malicious installation-time tracking. - **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:** package.json runs beacon.cjs automatically from its postinstall hook., beacon.cjs sends an HTTP POST to a hardcoded external IP address., The POST includes the machine hostname, install path, working directory, and npm version., Importing index.js also calls the beacon without requiring a user action. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @drone-js-ext/vip-badge@2.0.0. - Avoid installing @drone-js-ext/vip-badge@2.0.0. 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.
