## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — The collector receives identifiers about the installer and installation environment without an installer consent guard.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Block by default
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Malware
- **Selected version:** 1.0.0
- **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 package directly depends on a remote package with an automatic preinstall beacon that discloses installer and environment identifiers to an unrelated collector. This meets the install-time disclosure block criterion.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** The package installs a dependency whose npm preinstall hook sends identifying machine and project data to an unrelated collector. This is an automatic installation disclosure.

- **Trigger:** Installing the package on the Linux or Darwin npm profile.

- **Impact:** The collector receives identifiers about the installer and installation environment without an installer consent guard.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-006fccf7-8da2-4a79-a069-a413cef7a34f/0/npm-linux/package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-006fccf7-8da2-4a79-a069-a413cef7a34f/0/npm-darwin/package.json

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-16T11:14:31.585Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The dependency runs curl to POST the current user, hostname, and working directory to artifacts.creditslib.com/api/pings.

- **Attack narrative:** Installing this package pulls marker-index-symbol-schema. Its Linux and Darwin npm profiles define a preinstall command that sends the current user, hostname, and working directory to artifacts.creditslib.com/api/pings. The source shows no consent guard for this installation-time disclosure.

- **Rationale:** The package directly depends on a remote package with an automatic preinstall beacon that discloses installer and environment identifiers to an unrelated collector. This meets the install-time disclosure block criterion.

- **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 directly depends on marker-index-symbol-schema from artifacts.creditslib.com., The Linux npm install profile runs a preinstall POST to artifacts.creditslib.com/api/pings with user, hostname, and working-directory identifiers., The Darwin npm install profile independently contains the same preinstall disclosure behavior.

## Affected versions and remediation
