## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — The collector receives identifying information about the installer and the environment where the package is installed.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Block by default
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Malware
- **Selected version:** 10.0.12
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **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 declared dependency introduces an automatic installation beacon that transmits user, host, and working-directory identifiers to a fixed endpoint without installer consent. The captured Linux and Darwin npm manifests both contain this behavior, supporting a malicious installation-time disclosure finding.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** The package installs a dependency whose npm snapshots disclose installer and project identifiers during installation.

- **Trigger:** Installing the package and its dependency through npm.

- **Impact:** The collector receives identifying information about the installer and the environment where the package is installed.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-fbdcb614-8428-466c-8ff0-c04dc8e10873/0/npm-linux/package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-fbdcb614-8428-466c-8ff0-c04dc8e10873/0/npm-darwin/package.json

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-16T10:47:45.968Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The dependency’s preinstall command sends an HTTP POST containing the package identity, user name, hostname, and working directory to a fixed endpoint without a consent check.

- **Attack narrative:** The package depends on a remote package whose captured npm Linux and Darwin manifests run a preinstall command. That command sends the package identity and installer or project identifiers to a fixed collector, with no consent guard. This is an installation-time disclosure.

- **Rationale:** The declared dependency introduces an automatic installation beacon that transmits user, host, and working-directory identifiers to a fixed endpoint without installer consent. The captured Linux and Darwin npm manifests both contain this behavior, supporting a malicious installation-time disclosure finding.

- **Files touched:** package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-fbdcb614-8428-466c-8ff0-c04dc8e10873/0/npm-linux/package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-fbdcb614-8428-466c-8ff0-c04dc8e10873/0/npm-darwin/package.json

- **Network endpoints:** https://artifacts.creditslib.com/api/pings

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for block:** The package manifest installs marker-index-symbol-schema from artifacts.creditslib.com, which gives that dependency an automatic installation path., The npm Linux and Darwin dependency snapshots both define preinstall commands that POST the package identity and the installer’s user name, hostname, and working directory to artifacts.creditslib.com/api/pings; no consent guard is present.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @flexmr/survey-client@10.0.12.

- Avoid installing @flexmr/survey-client@10.0.12. 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.
