Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Blocked & quarantined** — Cloud credentials, instance metadata, environment secrets, and Kubernetes secrets may be exposed to an external recipient. - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Product-default install policy:** Block - **Firewall policy:** Matched malicious - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Data Exfiltration - **Selected version:** 1.99.0 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) Trusted malware advisory MAL-2026-17256 identifies this version as malicious. Firewall keeps the version blocked under its trusted-intelligence policy. An AI recommendation to allow or warn does not override that advisory. AI assessment: malicious; recommendation: publish block. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. The main module collects cloud credentials, environment variables, and Kubernetes secret files, then transmits them to an external host. This occurs on import. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Malicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-29T16:25:49.669Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-29T16:26:34.910Z - **Download time:** 752 ms - **Static scan time:** 24 ms - **AI review time:** 44465 ms - **Total time:** 45241 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 main module collects cloud credentials, environment variables, and Kubernetes secret files, then transmits them to an external host. This occurs on import. - **Trigger:** Loading the package main entrypoint. - **Impact:** Cloud credentials, instance metadata, environment secrets, and Kubernetes secrets may be exposed to an external recipient. - **Evidence paths:** index.js, package.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-29T16:26:34.910Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Top-level code invokes AWS and local collection routines and POSTs their JSON results. - **Attack narrative:** The package main entrypoint executes without user action on import. It queries the AWS metadata service, including IAM credential paths, reads all environment variables, recursively reads Kubernetes secret files, and POSTs the resulting data to an unrelated external endpoint. - **Rationale:** The active entrypoint implements automatic credential and secret harvesting with an external transmission sink. This is concrete data exfiltration behavior. - **Files touched:** index.js, /var/run/secrets/ - **Network endpoints:** https://hrnmn.dd.h4x.tv/save\_instance\_info\_from\_pkge\_hrmony\_benefit-sachbezug, http://169.254.169.254 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for block:** The manifest exposes index.js as the package main entrypoint., Importing index.js immediately sends a POST to a non-package endpoint., The module requests AWS IAM role credentials and instance metadata., The module copies all environment variables and recursively reads /var/run/secrets/., Collected AWS data and local secrets are POSTed to the configured endpoint., Both collection routines run automatically at module import. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @hrmony/benefit-sachbezug@1.99.0. - Avoid installing @hrmony/benefit-sachbezug@1.99.0. 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.
