## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — The endpoint receives identifying information about the user and installation environment without installer consent.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Block by default
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Malware
- **Selected version:** 3.0.12
- **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 parent manifest installs the remote dependency, and both inspected npm-profile manifests define an automatic request containing local identifying data. This is an unconsented installation beacon, so the package should be blocked.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** Installing this package installs a remote dependency with an automatic identifying-data beacon. The beacon sends local user and host details to the dependency registry host.

- **Trigger:** A consumer installs the package and npm runs the dependency's install hook.

- **Impact:** The endpoint receives identifying information about the user and installation environment without installer consent.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-57cbed9a-e892-4dff-b057-79567c8a2248/0/npm-linux/package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-57cbed9a-e892-4dff-b057-79567c8a2248/0/npm-darwin/package.json

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-16T11:11:48.232Z

### AI review details

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

- **Mechanism:** The hook posts the local username, hostname, and working directory to the remote endpoint.

- **Attack narrative:** The package pulls a remote dependency whose npm-profile manifests define an automatic install hook. That hook sends the local username, hostname, and working directory to an endpoint on the dependency host, creating an unconsented installation beacon.

- **Rationale:** The parent manifest installs the remote dependency, and both inspected npm-profile manifests define an automatic request containing local identifying data. This is an unconsented installation beacon, so the package should be blocked.

- **Files touched:** package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-57cbed9a-e892-4dff-b057-79567c8a2248/0/npm-linux/package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-57cbed9a-e892-4dff-b057-79567c8a2248/0/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 depends on a remote archive whose npm-profile manifests run an automatic install hook that sends the local username, hostname, and working directory to a remote endpoint., The Linux and Darwin npm-profile manifests both send this identifying data to the same endpoint during installation.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @flexmr/survey-conversation@3.0.12.
