AI Security Review
scanned 7d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe declared dependency’s Linux and Darwin preinstall hooks automatically disclose installer and environment identifiers to a remote collector. This supports blocking as install-hook abuse.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.
Trigger
An npm installation that installs the declared dependency and runs its preinstall hook.
Impact
The endpoint receives identifying information about the installer and installation environment.
Mechanism
The hook sends the installer’s username, hostname, and current working directory to a remote endpoint without an indicated consent guard.
Attack narrative
The package declares a dependency hosted at an external artifact URL. The prepared Linux and Darwin dependency manifests both define a preinstall command that posts the installer’s username, hostname, and working directory to an endpoint on that host. This is automatic installation-time disclosure with no consent guard shown in the inspected source.
AI rationale
The declared dependency’s Linux and Darwin preinstall hooks automatically disclose installer and environment identifiers to a remote collector. This supports blocking as install-hook abuse.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 99.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- The package declares a dependency fetched from an external artifact host, creating an install path to that dependency.
- The Linux dependency manifest runs a preinstall command that sends the current user, hostname, and working directory to a remote endpoint.
- The Darwin dependency manifest contains the same identifying-data transfer in its preinstall command.
