## Verdict summary
**Blocked & quarantined** — The collector receives identifying information about the installation and its environment.

- **Verdict:** Malicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Block
- **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Data Exfiltration
- **Selected version:** 1.0.1
- **Selected version is latest:** Yes
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions.

AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

The postinstall hook automatically discloses host and installation identifiers to a publisher-selected external collector without installer consent. This is concrete installation-time data exfiltration, so the package should be blocked.

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:** The postinstall hook reports identifying machine and package-install metadata to a hardcoded external collector. The package also fires the beacon when its main entrypoint is imported.

- **Trigger:** Installing the package or importing index.js.

- **Impact:** The collector receives identifying information about the installation and its environment.

- **Evidence paths:** package.json, beacon.cjs, index.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-23T00:50:25.282Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** beacon.cjs collects the hostname, install path, working directory and npm user agent, then sends them in an HTTP POST without an installer consent check.

- **Attack narrative:** Installing the package triggers a beacon that sends the host name and installation paths to a hardcoded external endpoint. Importing the main entrypoint also fires the beacon. The README calls the package an authorized test, but the source does not establish consent from the installer.

- **Rationale:** The postinstall hook automatically discloses host and installation identifiers to a publisher-selected external collector without installer consent. This is concrete installation-time data exfiltration, so the package should be blocked.

- **Files touched:** package.json, beacon.cjs, index.js

- **Network endpoints:** http://185.158.107.175:8787/\_ah/dc

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Malicious

- **Confidence:** 99.0%

- **Recommended action:** publish\_block

- **Intent class:** Malware

- **False-positive risk:** Low

- **Evidence for block:** The package runs beacon.cjs automatically during postinstall., The beacon sends an HTTP POST to a hardcoded external IP address., The POST contains the machine hostname, install path and working directory., The beacon sends the collected payload without an installer consent check., Importing index.js calls beacon.cjs fire() immediately within a try block.

- **Evidence against:** The README describes the package as an authorized dependency-confusion test, but source provides no installer consent mechanism.

## Affected versions and remediation

This report applies to @grabcad/grabcad-shop-shared@1.0.1.
