AI Security Review
scanned 7d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe package declares the remote dependency, and both inspected npm platform snapshots contain an automatic preinstall disclosure of identifying installation data. This supports blocking as an installation-time data exfiltration behavior.
Static reason
No blocking static signals were detected.
Trigger
Installing this package and running the dependency's preinstall hook.
Impact
The collector receives identifying user, machine, and working-directory details during installation.
Mechanism
The hook uses curl to POST the current username, hostname, and working directory, tagged with this package's name.
Attack narrative
Installing the package triggers a remotely hosted dependency's preinstall hook, which POSTs the username, hostname, and working directory to an external collector. The inspected hook shows no installer consent guard.
AI rationale
The package declares the remote dependency, and both inspected npm platform snapshots contain an automatic preinstall disclosure of identifying installation data. This supports blocking as an installation-time data exfiltration behavior.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 99.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- The package directly depends on a remotely hosted dependency.
- The Linux and Darwin dependency manifests define preinstall hooks that POST the username, hostname, and working directory to an external collector, labeling the event with this package's name.
- The hook sends identifying installation data automatically during dependency installation, with no consent guard shown.
