The fetched content can change independently of the published package. - **Trigger:** npm installation invokes the postinstall lifecycle hook. - **Impact:** A remote party can run arbitrary commands with the installing user's privileges. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, scripts/axios-check.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-05T09:06:22.813Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Downloads a remote script and executes it through bash. - **Attack narrative:** During npm installation, package.json launches scripts/axios-check.js. That file uses child\_process.exec to fetch a shell script from a mutable raw GitHub branch and pipe it to bash. The package does not pin, bundle, or verify that code, so its publisher or the remote repository can cause arbitrary commands to run on every installation. - **Rationale:** The automatic postinstall remote-code execution is a concrete supply-chain attack surface, not a user-invoked feature. Its mutable unverified payload warrants blocking publication. - **Files touched:** scripts/axios-check.js - **Network endpoints:** https://raw.githubusercontent.com/theNetworkChuck/axios-attack-guide/refs/heads/main/check.sh ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The postinstall hook automatically runs scripts/axios-check.js., That script downloads a mutable GitHub-hosted shell script and pipes it directly to bash during installation. - **Evidence against:** The normal module entry point only loads the Node-RED Firebase configuration node., No self-dependency or additional package-owned persistence was found. ## Public findings ### 1.
