It also collects local host/user context for console output, though that context is not sent in the request. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Started:** 2026-07-30T10:35:03.603Z - **Finished:** 2026-07-30T10:35:22.816Z - **Download time:** 251 ms - **Static scan time:** 22 ms - **AI review time:** 18940 ms - **Total time:** 19213 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation executes an outbound callback to an external OAST host. It also collects local host/user context for console output, though that context is not sent in the request. - **Trigger:** npm install - **Impact:** Confirms arbitrary install-time code execution to an external observer. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, postinstall.js, index.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-07-30T10:35:22.816Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** postinstall HTTPS/DNS execution callback - **Attack narrative:** The package installs a postinstall hook that immediately makes HTTPS and DNS requests to an OAST endpoint. Its code and output identify this as a dependency-confusion proof of arbitrary code execution from a public registry, creating an unconsented external install-time callback. - **Rationale:** The source establishes intentional install-time execution and an external callback, not merely a static hint. Although no payload download or file modification was found, this is concrete dependency-confusion attack behavior. - **Files touched:** package.json, postinstall.js, index.js - **Network endpoints:** llhvrrffsffmousfvteqie2heq3c7rl55.oast.fun ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 96.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** package.json runs postinstall.js on install., postinstall.js sends HTTPS and DNS callbacks to an OAST host., The install hook is an explicit dependency-confusion execution proof. - **Evidence against:** No filesystem writes, shell execution, or payload download found., index.js only formats values and builds an authorization header. ## Public findings ### 1.
