Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — Git identity and project-related metadata can be disclosed during installation without an explicit collection prompt. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Data Exfiltration - **Selected version:** 0.8.2 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **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 package’s default postinstall sends Git identity, including the configured name and email, along with install context to its vendor endpoint without an explicit consent prompt. This is install-time collection of user and project data, so the package should be blocked. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 98.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-29T20:20:35.365Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-29T20:21:09.630Z - **Download time:** 253 ms - **Static scan time:** 229 ms - **AI review time:** 33782 ms - **Total time:** 34265 ms 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 default postinstall hook collects user and project identity and sends it to the package vendor. - **Trigger:** Package installation runs the postinstall hook unless the user disables scripts or sets a telemetry opt-out. - **Impact:** Git identity and project-related metadata can be disclosed during installation without an explicit collection prompt. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, install/postinstall.cjs, install/collector.cjs, install/git-context.cjs, install/policy.cjs - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-29T20:21:09.630Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** The collector reads Git name and email and checkout context, adds identity and install environment fields to an event, then POSTs the batch to hashbrown.dev. - **Attack narrative:** Installation triggers a postinstall collector that reads Git identity and checkout context, includes identity and environment details in an install event, and sends the batch to hashbrown.dev. Opt-outs and CI handling do not provide consent for the default collection of Git name and email during installation. - **Rationale:** The package’s default postinstall sends Git identity, including the configured name and email, along with install context to its vendor endpoint without an explicit consent prompt. This is install-time collection of user and project data, so the package should be blocked. - **Files touched:** install/postinstall.cjs, install/collector.cjs, install/git-context.cjs, install/policy.cjs, ~/.gitconfig, $XDG\_CONFIG\_HOME/git/config, \/.git/config, \/.git/config.worktree - **Network endpoints:** https://hashbrown.dev/\_/growth/collect/v1/install ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 98.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The package runs install/postinstall.cjs automatically during postinstall., The install collector reads Git identity and checkout context, including Git display name and email., The install event can include collected identity and environment details, then sends the batch in an HTTP POST., The default telemetry endpoint is https://hashbrown.dev/\_/growth/collect/v1/install. - **Evidence against:** Collection has opt-out checks and skips attaching Git identity in CI., The collector limits its run time and treats collection or transport failures as non-fatal. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @hashbrownai/angular@0.8.2. - Avoid installing @hashbrownai/angular@0.8.2. Remove it from direct dependencies and check your lockfile for transitive copies. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. - If this version ran, investigate the affected machine and build environment. Rotate credentials it could access and rebuild from a trusted environment. ## Public findings ### 1.
