## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** npm postinstall executes an appended reconnaissance and credential-harvesting payload. It probes metadata and internal services using environment-derived credentials.

- **Trigger:** npm install

- **Impact:** Exposure of local credentials and environment data; access or discovery of cloud and internal services.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/lodash.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-08-16T20:40:35.687Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** install-time credential harvesting, internal reconnaissance, and authenticated MCP probing

- **Attack narrative:** During npm install, postinstall requires scripts/lodash.js. Code appended after the Lodash bundle collects identity, network, and environment data; reads credential files; queries cloud metadata including role credentials; probes internal MCP endpoints with a bearer token taken from environment variables; scans internal ports; and writes the collected data to probe logs.

- **Rationale:** This is a concrete, unconsented install-time credential-harvesting and internal-reconnaissance chain, not package-aligned runtime health behavior.

- **Files touched:** package.json, scripts/lodash.js, rt2-probe.log, sysinfo2.log, /workspace/rt2-probe.log, /workspace/sysinfo2.log

- **Network endpoints:** 169.254.169.254, 100.100.100.200, metadata.tencentyun.com, 10.100.0.46, 10.201.0.1

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for:** postinstall directly requires the payload file., Payload executes shell commands to collect identity, network, and environment data., Payload reads cloud, npm, Kubernetes, Docker, and Git credential files., Payload queries cloud metadata and role credential endpoints., Payload forwards environment-derived bearer credentials to an internal MCP host., Payload scans internal hosts and writes collected output.

- **Evidence against:** Most of scripts/lodash.js is Lodash 4.17.21, but an executable payload is appended after it.
