Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — The collector receives identifying information about the user, host, and working directory. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Block by default - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Malware - **Selected version:** 1.0.12 - **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. Both inspected npm platform snapshots show an unconsented install-time disclosure of identifying host and project information to a collector unrelated to the package's stated utility. This supports blocking the package as install-hook abuse. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-16T11:13:19.520Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-16T11:14:00.156Z - **Download time:** 507 ms - **Static scan time:** 5 ms - **AI review time:** 40123 ms - **Total time:** 40636 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:** Installing the package installs a direct dependency whose preinstall hook sends identifying environment and project details to a collector. - **Trigger:** The dependency's preinstall hook runs during installation of the dependency tree. - **Impact:** The collector receives identifying information about the user, host, and working directory. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-c9d460a5-8f77-4a1b-9451-50ee8e59a8a6/0/npm-linux/package.json, .lpm-dependency-evidence-c9d460a5-8f77-4a1b-9451-50ee8e59a8a6/0/npm-darwin/package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-16T11:14:00.156Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** A curl POST sends the username, hostname, and working directory to the collector without a consent guard. - **Attack narrative:** The package declares a direct dependency hosted on artifacts.creditslib.com. The inspected Linux and macOS dependency manifests run a preinstall request that discloses the username, hostname, and working directory. A separate scanner snapshot lacks the hook, but that does not negate the hook in both npm platform snapshots. - **Rationale:** Both inspected npm platform snapshots show an unconsented install-time disclosure of identifying host and project information to a collector unrelated to the package's stated utility. This supports blocking the package as install-hook abuse. - **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 root manifest installs a direct dependency from artifacts.creditslib.com., The Linux dependency snapshot runs a preinstall request that sends the username, hostname, and working directory to the collector., The macOS dependency snapshot contains the same preinstall disclosure, confirming the behavior across both npm platform samples. - **Evidence against:** The separate scanner snapshot has no preinstall hook, but both npm platform snapshots do. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @flexmr/utils@1.0.12. - Avoid installing @flexmr/utils@1.0.12. 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.
