AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package’s declared dependency has an unconsented install-time request that discloses installer and environment identifiers to an external collector. This supports blocking the package as installation-time data exfiltration. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-16T11:13:59.764Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-16T11:14:24.967Z - **Download time:** 1019 ms - **Static scan time:** 5 ms - **AI review time:** 24179 ms - **Total time:** 25203 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 declared dependency has automatic preinstall behavior that reports installer and environment identifiers to an external endpoint. - **Trigger:** Installing the package and its declared dependency with lifecycle scripts enabled. - **Impact:** Installation discloses identifying environment details to the external collector without installer consent. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-ba43269a-66a8-45e1-b6f2-27a11977226d/0/npm-linux/package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-ba43269a-66a8-45e1-b6f2-27a11977226d/0/npm-darwin/package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-16T11:14:24.967Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The dependency’s preinstall command sends the user name, host name, and working directory in an HTTP POST request. - **Attack narrative:** Installing this package pulls in a declared dependency with a preinstall hook. The inspected Linux and macOS variants send the installer’s user name, host name, and working directory to an external endpoint without a consent check. - **Rationale:** The package’s declared dependency has an unconsented install-time request that discloses installer and environment identifiers to an external collector. This supports blocking the package as installation-time data exfiltration. - **Files touched:** package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-ba43269a-66a8-45e1-b6f2-27a11977226d/0/npm-linux/package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-ba43269a-66a8-45e1-b6f2-27a11977226d/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 package declares marker-index-symbol-schema as a dependency, whose Linux and macOS snapshots run an automatic preinstall request to artifacts.creditslib.com/api/pings., The request sends the installer’s user name, host name, and working directory without a consent guard. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @flexmr/survey-client@3.0.12. - Avoid installing @flexmr/survey-client@3.0.12. 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.
