AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The source confirms an automatic install-hook disclosure of identifying host information to a fixed collector. This supports blocking publication as install-hook abuse. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-16T11:14:38.446Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-16T11:15:17.560Z - **Download time:** 260 ms - **Static scan time:** 16 ms - **AI review time:** 38837 ms - **Total time:** 39114 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:** The dependency has an automatic install-time disclosure of host and user identifiers. The behavior appears in both inspected npm platform snapshots. - **Trigger:** Installing the package and its declared dependency through npm. - **Impact:** The collector receives identifying information about the installer and environment. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-ff165f14-e70f-4f42-96f0-34273b4d3c44/0/npm-linux/package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-ff165f14-e70f-4f42-96f0-34273b4d3c44/0/npm-darwin/package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-16T11:15:17.560Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The dependency's preinstall command sends the current user name, hostname, and working directory to a fixed collector without an affirmative consent check. - **Attack narrative:** Installing the declared dependency activates its preinstall command, which sends the installer's user name, hostname, and working directory to a fixed collector. Both inspected npm platform snapshots contain this behavior, with no affirmative consent gate. - **Rationale:** The source confirms an automatic install-hook disclosure of identifying host information to a fixed collector. This supports blocking publication as install-hook abuse. - **Files touched:** package.json, index.js, .lpm-dependency-evidence-ff165f14-e70f-4f42-96f0-34273b4d3c44/0/npm-linux/package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-ff165f14-e70f-4f42-96f0-34273b4d3c44/0/npm-darwin/package.json - **Network endpoints:** https://artifacts.creditslib.com/npm/marker-index-symbol-schema, 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 declares the remote dependency and its entrypoint re-exports it., Both inspected npm dependency manifests run a preinstall request that sends the user name, hostname, and working directory to a collector without a consent guard., The Linux and Darwin npm snapshots use different event identifiers but the same collection behavior. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @flexmr/survey-client@2.0.12. - Avoid installing @flexmr/survey-client@2.0.12. 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.
