AI Security Review
scanned 7d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe platform-specific npm snapshots establish an automatic install-time disclosure of identifying environment and project information to a publisher-selected endpoint, with no consent guard shown. This supports blocking as installation-time data exfiltration.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.
Trigger
Installing the parent package on npm platform profiles containing the hook.
Impact
Installation discloses identifying environment and project-path information to the endpoint.
Mechanism
The dependency runs a shell command that posts the user name, host name, working directory, and parent package name to https://artifacts.creditslib.com/api/pings without an indicated consent guard.
Attack narrative
Installing this package pulls in a URL-sourced dependency whose Linux and macOS manifests run a preinstall command. That command sends the user name, host name, working directory, and parent package name to a telemetry endpoint. The dependency’s runtime export is only metadata, and the source shows no consent guard for the install-time transfer.
AI rationale
The platform-specific npm snapshots establish an automatic install-time disclosure of identifying environment and project information to a publisher-selected endpoint, with no consent guard shown. This supports blocking as installation-time data exfiltration.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 98.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- The parent manifest installs a URL-sourced dependency, activating its install hook during dependency installation.
- The Linux and macOS dependency manifests run a preinstall command that sends the user name, host name, and working directory to a telemetry endpoint.
- The dependency’s exported runtime value is only package metadata; the install-time collection is unrelated to that behavior.
- The scanner snapshot omits the hook, but both npm platform snapshots contain it.
Evidence against
- The scanner-profile dependency snapshot has no lifecycle script.
