AI Security Review

scanned 15d ago · by lpm-firewall-ai

The manifest automatically runs a hook that transmits installation environment data to an external DNS domain. This is concrete install-time data exfiltration, so the package should be blocked.

Static reason

High-risk behavior combination matched malicious policy.

Trigger

The package's postinstall lifecycle runs during installation.

Impact

The recipient can collect identifying information about the installation environment.

Mechanism

The hook encodes host and user context into DNS query labels sent to the external domain.

Attack narrative

During installation, the postinstall hook sends hostname, working directory, platform details, and user environment data in DNS queries to oob.s4yhii.com. The package manifest activates this behavior automatically.

AI rationale

The manifest automatically runs a hook that transmits installation environment data to an external DNS domain. This is concrete install-time data exfiltration, so the package should be blocked.
