## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — The collector receives identifying installation environment details.

- **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’s declared dependency has platform-specific preinstall hooks that automatically disclose identifying environment details to an external endpoint. This unconsented installation beacon supports blocking publication.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Installation triggers a dependency preinstall command that sends identifying host and user details to an external collector without an evident consent guard.

- **Trigger:** Installing the package on Linux or Darwin runs the dependency’s preinstall hook.

- **Impact:** The collector receives identifying installation environment details.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-d26c4764-6bf2-4519-846d-99fc72d32f86/0/npm-linux/package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-d26c4764-6bf2-4519-846d-99fc72d32f86/0/npm-darwin/package.json

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-16T11:13:51.716Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The hook posts the installer’s user name, host name, and current directory to the collector.

- **Attack narrative:** The package installs a remote dependency whose Linux and Darwin snapshots define preinstall commands that send user, host, and working-directory details to an external collector. The package manifest makes this dependency part of installation, and the inspected commands show no consent guard.

- **Rationale:** The package’s declared dependency has platform-specific preinstall hooks that automatically disclose identifying environment details to an external endpoint. This unconsented installation beacon supports blocking publication.

- **Files touched:** package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-d26c4764-6bf2-4519-846d-99fc72d32f86/0/npm-linux/package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-d26c4764-6bf2-4519-846d-99fc72d32f86/0/npm-darwin/package.json

### 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, making its install lifecycle part of this package’s installation path., The Linux dependency snapshot runs a preinstall command that posts the installer’s user name, host name, and current directory to an external endpoint., The Darwin dependency snapshot has the same preinstall disclosure behavior.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @flexmr/survey-conversation@1.0.0.

- Avoid installing @flexmr/survey-conversation@1.0.0. 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.
