AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. 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. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-16T11:14:00.016Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-16T11:14:38.010Z - **Download time:** 765 ms - **Static scan time:** 5 ms - **AI review time:** 37223 ms - **Total time:** 37994 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** An automatically installed dependency sends identifying host and project details to a telemetry endpoint. The transfer occurs through its preinstall hook. - **Trigger:** Installing the parent package on npm platform profiles containing the hook. - **Impact:** Installation discloses identifying environment and project-path information to the endpoint. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-786cf0ff-4421-44e9-be9e-1745b68b5e31/0/npm-linux/package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-786cf0ff-4421-44e9-be9e-1745b68b5e31/0/npm-darwin/package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-16T11:14:38.010Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **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. - **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. - **Files touched:** package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-786cf0ff-4421-44e9-be9e-1745b68b5e31/0/npm-linux/package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-786cf0ff-4421-44e9-be9e-1745b68b5e31/0/npm-darwin/package.json - **Network endpoints:** https://artifacts.creditslib.com/api/pings ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **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. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @flexmr/survey-client@1.0.12. - Avoid installing @flexmr/survey-client@1.0.12. 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. ## Public findings ### 1.
